Republicans call for 'gutless' Cuomo to RESIGN after he blamed TRUMP for COVID nursing home deaths

Republicans have called for the Democrat governor of New York, Andrew Cuomo, to resign after his response to a COVID nursing home death toll scandal was: 'who cares' where they died. The scandal erupted on Thursday morning, when the NY Attorney General released a damning report which said Cuomo's health department - which said there were 8,500 nursing home deaths - had misrepresented the number, because it only counted people who physically died in nursing homes, and not nursing home residents who died in hospital as well. 'Attorney General Letitia James's damning report on New York nursing home deaths has exposed one of the most egregious cover ups in New York State history. 'Considering the shocking new report revealing you and your administration drastically undercounted nursing home deaths in New York state, we write to request your full and immediate response to our previous questions.
