Cuomo made the comments during a press conference, saying he was „complacent“ in not addressing the „falsities“ and „attacks“ against himself. The appearance came after the Democratic governor remained silent about a watchdog report that said Cuomo’s nursing home directive was likely responsible for more than 1,000 additional resident deaths during the coronavirus pandemic, despite numerous denials by the administration that their order was heavily to blame. A top Cuomo aide admitted recently that the administration purposefully withheld accurate COVID-19 death information from the Justice Department who was probing nursing home cases in four states including New York. Cuomo insisted on Friday that the information his administration provided was accurate at the time but admitted that he „did not produce public information fast enough.“ „This creates a void,“ he said. „And conspiracy theories and politics and rumors fill that void and you can’t allow inaccurate information to go unanswered.“ Cuomo’s silence has been amplified, particularly because prior to the heavy scrutiny, he regularly appeared on his brother, Chris Cuomo’s show on CNN, to conduct friendly, comical interviews.
