GOP senators demand hearing on nursing home deaths under blue state governors
Fox News
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, led the charge calling for a hearing on the nursing home deaths in Michigan, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania in a letter sent to Sen. Dick Durbin on Friday.
Ten of Cruz's fellow Senate Republicans joined him on the letter, writing that congressional oversight "is needed to ensure the protection of seniors’ civil rights." The senators wrote that congressional oversight also was needed to "seek justice" for the nursing home residents who died from COVID-19 after the Department of Justice (DOJ) Civil Rights Division recently announced it would not be investigating the states that implemented policies requiring nursing homes to take in coronavirus-positive patients.More Related News
