Brothers who lost father in New York nursing home demand Cuomo 'admit a mistake': 'Stop playing politics'
Fox News
New York Democrat Gov. Andrew Cuomo needs to "stop playing politics" and "admit a mistake" in ordering nursing homes to take in COVID-positive patients, two Brooklyn brothers who lost their father in the pandemic told "America Reports" Friday.
"He said the same thing today as he said when we claimed that the death [count] of 6,800 was wrong. They were misleading, and they were hiding the numbers. So he has made this political," said Peter Arbeeny. "He shouldn't be saying the same thing today, because the facts are that we were correct five, six months ago, because the numbers went from 6,800 [deaths] to 15,000. "So he cannot use the same political rhetoric and say ... that this is a political football by the Republican Party," Peter added. "I'm a Democrat. I became a Democrat because of his [Cuomo's] father, because I believed in the Democratic Party and his father attracted me to it." Cuomo's father Mario served three terms as the state's governor and was a prominent figure in the Democratic Party of the 1980s and early 1990s.More Related News
