Top New York Republicans seek to oust Cuomo, other officials after nursing home revelations
By Celine Castronuovo - 02/12/21 09:01 AM EST
Top New York Republicans have taken to Twitter to call for an investigation into New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) and other state officials following a Thursday report that a top aide admitted the government withheld the state’s nursing home coronavirus death toll.
Several Republicans from the Empire State issued statements after the report, arguing for a probe to be launched into the government’s reported decision to withhold nursing home coronavirus data, with some going so far as to call for Cuomo to be impeached and removed from office.
Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) wrote in a statement that “Governor Cuomo, the Secretary to the Governor, and his senior team must be prosecuted immediately - both by the Attorney General of New York State and the U.S. Department of Justice.â€
“This bombshell admission of a coverup and the remarks by the Secretary to the Governor indicating intent to obstruct any federal investigation is a stunning and criminal abuse of power,†she continued.
Stefanik went on to say, “The families who lost loved ones, New Yorkers, and all Americans deserve accountability from the U.S. Department of Justice that will be independent and not swayed by the desperate political pressure from Governor Cuomo.â€

There's a difference between knowing and having evidence. Evidence has been coming out.
I'm tempted to say, "Replace Cuomo? With what Dem?" Though I suspect even many NY Dems are not as autocratic and high-handed as Cuomo has been. Besides the well known NY AG report, https://hotair.com/archives/john-s-2/2021/02/11/cuomos-secretary-withheld-nursing-home-death-data-avoid-trouble-feds/ . There may be more rats ready to jump Cuomo's ship.
