Judge Garland Says He âDoes Not Know The Factsâ Of The Cuomo Nursing Home Scandal
Merrick Garland declined to get into details about the COVID-19 nursing home disaster that plagued New York following Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo's mandate.dailycaller.com
Judge Merrick Garland, President Joe Bidenâs 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 Cuomoâs 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 âwould have adopted a rule thatâ deemed it âdiscriminatoryâ 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 âno,â he would not have adopted that rule.
Kennedy followed this up by wondering aloud if this is âwhat happened with a lot of our nursing homes throughout the country.â 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.
âI honestly donât know what happened with the nursing homes,â Garland responded. âI donât know what theyâre doing with respect to â Iâm sorry, Iâm not again, Iâm not trying to be evasive. I really, I really donât know the facts here. I mean, I think in the example you gave me, thereâs nothing discriminatory about asking people who might be infected from a public health point of view to be sure they donât infect other people, and if a determinations made theyâre not infected, then of course thatâs the end of it. Equal treatment doesnât mean we donât take into consideration the possibilities of different degrees of health in a particular circumstance.
âAnd I donât, I honestly, donât know what happened, but the nursing home â 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 donât know why that was, except that there are people cooped up in one place and itâs easy to spread,â 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.
