Moments ago during a briefing, Governor Cuomo claimed “Donald Trump caused the COVID outbreak in New York.”
The New York Governor then added “That is a fact. It’s a fact that he admitted, and the CDC admitted, and Fauci admitted.”
Cuomo later doubled down on blaming Trump for pandemic deaths, saying “The virus killed many more Americans than anything you were worried about on the southern border. This nation loses more people per day to covid than any nation on the globe.” He then asked rhetorically “You know who did that? Donald Trump’s incompetence and now, they won’t provide federal funding to help repair the damage from the ambush they created.”
