Department of Justice Requesting Data From Governors of States that Issued COVID-19 Orders that May Have Resulted in Deaths of Elderly Nursing Home Residents. Cuomo (NY), Murphy (NJ), Wolf (PA), Whitmer (MI), all Democrats. This is like mass murder to us. We hope they get nailed for it.
Today the Justice Department requested COVID-19 data from the governors of states that issued orders which may have resulted in the deaths of thousands of elderly nursing home residents. New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Michigan required nursing homes to admit COVID-19 patients to their vulnerable populations, often without adequate testing.
For example, on March 25, 2020, New York ordered: “No resident shall be denied re-admission or admission to [a nursing home] solely based on a confirmed or suspected diagnosis of COVID-19. [Nursing homes] are prohibited from requiring a hospitalized resident who is determined medically stable to be tested for COVID-19 prior to admission or readmission.”
“Protecting the rights of some of society’s most vulnerable members, including elderly nursing home residents, is one of our country’s most important obligations,” said Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Division Eric Dreiband. “We must ensure they are adequately cared for with dignity and respect and not unnecessarily put at risk.”

Cuomo just took out his nipple rings and is preparing for battle...Granny Killer Cuomo belongs in a small 6 by 6 cell wearing orange paper clothing.
They should put his brother in there with him.
Hmm, this ought to be interesting. If I had to guess, Governor Cuomo's ass is puckering, the other three East Coast governors are getting ready to blame Cuomo for starting it ("We just copied New York!"), and Governor Whittless will belch, bat her clueless eyes, and say, "Duh." Which on most subjects is her most intelligent comment.
Andy's victory lap might have been a bit premature. Let us see just how they all plan on spinning this into Trump's fault.
