Judge Garland Says He ‘Does Not Know The Facts’ Of The Cuomo Nursing Home Scandal

Judge Merrick Garland, President Joe Biden’s attorney general pick, declined to get into details on Monday about the COVID-19 nursing home disaster that plagued New York following Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s mandate.

Republican Louisiana Sen. John Kennedy asked Garland how he would have handled COVID-19 had he been chief judge when the pandemic began. Kennedy wondered if he “would have adopted a rule that” deemed it “discriminatory” to ask someone to take a COVID-19 test to return to work after the individual went to the hospital for the virus and was treated and released.

Garland said “no,” he would not have adopted that rule.

Kennedy followed this up by wondering aloud if this is “what happened with a lot of our nursing homes throughout the country.” While Kennedy did not name New York in particular, Cuomo has come under fire for his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. He mandated that nursing homes accept patients who had previously tested positive for COVID-19 while barring facilities from requiring negative tests for a period of time in 2020.

“I honestly don’t know what happened with the nursing homes,” Garland responded. “I don’t know what they’re doing with respect to – I’m sorry, I’m not again, I’m not trying to be evasive. I really, I really don’t know the facts here. I mean, I think in the example you gave me, there’s nothing discriminatory about asking people who might be infected from a public health point of view to be sure they don’t infect other people, and if a determinations made they’re not infected, then of course that’s the end of it. Equal treatment doesn’t mean we don’t take into consideration the possibilities of different degrees of health in a particular circumstance.

“And I don’t, I honestly, don’t know what happened, but the nursing home – I know it was terrible that many people got the COVID in the nursing homes and it was a major vector in the spread of the infection. But I don’t know why that was, except that there are people cooped up in one place and it’s easy to spread,” he continued.

The FBI is reportedly investigating Cuomo over the nursing home deaths. The alleged investigation comes after revelations indicated that his administration underreported nursing home COVID-19 deaths by up to 50% and reports that they tried to hide the correct death count.

Kennedy is so damn dumb.

Also they shouldn't be any investigation of Gov. Cuomo.

Wackos love their Killer Cuomo

what the fuck is wrong with you?
Does anybody know the facts about what happened in the nursing homes?
Lots of accusations but the investigation is undergoing now, you stupid pig, so the facts have yet to be revealed.
TROLL!

Enough facts have been revealed that there's a move by democrats to force Baby Doc Cuomo from office, numbskull.

Garland is either completely clueless, or lying out his ass.

Cuomo's own top aide admitted they hid the numbers of deaths from both the public and from the regulatory agencies that require them. Looks like you're just as ignorant of current events as Garland.

This is essentially Garland giving a wink and a nod to the DNC that if he gets the job, he'll be sure to protect Andy and the party

The left loon also refused to say illegals crossing the borders is a crime.

Thank God he was never confirmed

And he sounded worse than Jen Psaki in trying to evade giving an answer.

And this stammering numbskull is supposed to be USSC material?

I'm not even an attorney and I know illegals crossing the borders is a crime.

The bar for leftist judges must be very low

Garland was not showing "stunning ignorance of basic news stories." Another false allegation. Kennedy was just trying to bait Garland, and Kennedy is a known right-wing whore and trump suck-up. Nothing has been proven, and Garland was right to say that he did not know the facts. So many mostly false accusations have been made in public by right-wing scum that one has to be cautious not to take the bait. Garland has integrity and Kennedy does not.

But all the false accusations from leftist scum are 100% correct right?

"Kennedy was just trying to bait Garland, and Kennedy is a known right-wing whore and trump suck-up.""

Got that right.

I'm so damned tired of these theatrics. The republicans used to behave like normal people capable of getting the People's business done. This new bunch seem to have only recently graduated from Romper Room. This isn't just tit-for-tat name-calling. the new republicans seem to be totally incapable of governing.

Yep. He was asked a very straightforward question - "Do you believe that illegal entry at American borders should remain a crime?" He undoubtedly has thought about extensively, but claimed he hasn't thought about it...

I would like to know what that means. It's the legislative, not the executive branch, that defines firearm laws.
