Gov. Cuomo Claims Trump Is ‘Responsible for Every Death in This Country’ From COVID-19
Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) is not mincing words on how he feels regarding President Donald Trump’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic.
The Democratic governor declared during Thursday’s “The View” interview that he believes Trump is “responsible for every death in this country” from coronavirus.
“He lied about it, he lied about it from day one,” Cuomo continued, noting a memo in January by Trump’s top trade adviser Peter Navarro that said the National Security Council warned millions of Americans could die from COVID-19.
Cuomo also claimed the Trump administration was “totally incompetent in what they did” regarding the pandemic.

Trump “responsible for every death in this country” from COVID-19 because the admin “lied” and was “totally incompetent” in their response: “110,000 people more are going to die because [Trump] won’t wear a mask.” https://t.co/f8u2wbJuik pic.twitter.com/C89czabjRf

Cuomo has taken swipes at the administration over its pandemic handling. He previously suggested in September, “Donald Trump caused the COVID outbreak in New York.”
Similar to Cuomo’s remarks on “The View,” Chelsea Clinton, the daughter of the former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, also previously claimed she blames Trump “pretty fundamentally” for deaths caused by COVID-19 in the U.S., as IJR reported.
“I blame him, full stop,” she later added during an interview on “The View.” “I also blame him for all he’s not doing now to help prepare for when the scientists have proven a vaccine is safe and effective at scale. I blame him for not marshaling a real effort to build public confidence and demand for a vaccine that is proven safe and effective.”
Ed McGuire, You appear to be stuck in the early days of the pandemic. Even in May, NY was not in the top ten of nursing home COVID deaths per 1,000. To help you keep current, here is an update from Sept.

Is the Gov. saying that Trump is responsible for the thousands of elderly who died in NY assisted living? We know that he is a liar, but this is really too much.
Robyn, below, is doing revisionist history.
The problem with the CDC is that they had full control and slowed down test development. The problem with the test that they created was that their reagents were not pure enough and that caused many faulty results. That wasn’t a WHO problem. That was THEIR OWN problem.
This article from early March (in other words, before revisionists could change history) explains things better than I can be bothered with trying to get into your thick head, Robyn.

Trump has done a great on both domestic and foreign affairs. America is sick of Dem hate, and you will see that in five days. COVID and lies are all Biden and Dems have to run on besides suggesting a COVID-19 plan Joe ripped off from Trump, who has implemented it along with the CDC since we found out China let COVID spread all over the world in January. If we left it up to Fauci and Biden, they would never have shut down travel, and hundreds of thousands more would be dead right now; Fauci even admitted that. The entire country would be on a lockdown for as long as Fauci instructed Biden to do so.
The Trump admin used the same pandemic plan the CDC uses for all pandemics. Somehow the media convinced some silly people that Trump had no federal plan when the CDC is the “national plan.” The CDC job is to roll out the pandemic plan, which is to assist states through a pandemic until the CDC develops therapeutics/vaccines, and they feel the state health depts can handle things on their own. The CDC made a mistake in testing when the Director decided to use the faulty W.H.O. test instead of creating a COVID test themselves or choosing one of the many coronavirus tests being worked on in America at that time, not Trump.
I am a fan of Gov Cuomo and his handling of the virus. BUT, I am a bigger fan on PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY. EVERYONE was aware Trump lies. EVERYONE that watched the Task Force press conferences heard what the DOCTORS had to say and what Trump had to say. For those who elected to follow Trump, they are responsible for their OWN actions.
