Andrew Cuomo Tries to Rewrite Pandemic History

Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is being accused of trying to rewrite history concerning his actions during the COVID-19 pandemic—a ballsy move given most people vividly remember not only his disastrous and deadly nursing home directive, but his lockdown orders, mask mandates, and prohibitions against mass gatherings. A quick Google search refreshes the memory on how draconian Cuomo became in his response to the inevitable spread of COVID-19. 

By March 2020, businesses that were not in compliance with health and safety requirements were closed by the state. In just a matter of three days back in October 2020, fines amounting to $172,000 were issued to religious organizations that violated rules against mass gatherings. A month earlier and following an executive order from Cuomo, the Metropolitan Transit Authority began issuing fines to maskless riders. And the list could go on and on. Yet during a conversation with Leana Wen, the Democrat said compliance was all voluntary. 

"Government had no capacity to enforce any of this. You must wear a mask. People wore masks in New York. If they said 'I'm not wearing a mask' there was nothing I could do about it. You must close your private business. 'I won't'. There was nothing I could really do about it,” he said. 

“It was really all voluntary. It was extraordinary when you think about it. That society acted with that uniformity voluntarily. Because I had no enforcement capacity. So you have a reduced trust in government."

Fortunately, X users got to work reminding Cuomo of just some of his public statements about his actions during the pandemic.
