Cuomo's 'reign of abusive power will end soon,' NY Dem tells mourners at nursing home memorial
Fox News
As mourners gathered outside a Brooklyn nursing home nearly a year after New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo issued a directive requiring them to admit residents with coronavirus, Democratic State Assemblyman Ron Kim promised accountability.
Kim has been a vocal critic of the governor after he claimed Cuomo wanted him to help cover up his administration's intentional withholding of statistics of nursing home deaths. Kim claims that Cuomo threatened to have him "destroyed" after he refused to go along with Cuomo's explanation for why the data was kept from state lawmakers. "When I got that call from Governor Cuomo threatening me and my career ‒ my livelihood ‒ to lie for him, I wasn’t scared of his bully tactics but I was afraid that he would escape accountability," Kim told those in attendance on Sunday. "That is why I pushed back."More Related News
