President Trump fired back at Andrew Cuomo after the New York governor delivered a blistering speech at the Democratic National Convention on Monday criticizing the White House's response to the coronavirus pandemic. A pathetic move on Cuomo’s side, considering NY state dealt very poorly with the virus.
In a tweet, Trump accused the three-term governor of being responsible for thousands of deaths in nursing homes, referring to Cuomo's controversial policy in late March that essentially ordered nursing homes to accept coronavirus patients from hospitals, a measure designed to free up hospital beds. Accepting corona patients in nursing homes also spread the disease amongst the elderly.
The state has officially reported a care home death toll of more than 6,600, as a result of the lack of hospital beds.
