Attorney General William Barr isn’t afraid to stand up the left.
As America’s top cop, he is using every power he has to fight against them.
And he just smacked NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo with a demand that will destroy him.
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has positioned himself as the biggest enemy of President Donald Trump.
He is doing everything he can to leverage left-wing hate for the President to grow his national profile.
Most notably, Cuomo has used the coronavirus pandemic towards this cause.
He has held addresses to his state, which fake news outlets like CNN have fawned over, to bash President Trump, while painting his response as something to be emulated nationwide.
The only problem with this is that his response has been abysmal.
Any real examination of his decisions prove that he has continually made things worse.
Most notably was his decision to force nursing homes to accept patients found positive with coronavirus.
This caused his state to have more coronavirus deaths than any other state by a massive amount.
If you watch CNN, you would likely have no idea about this fact.
But William Barr is well aware, and is now demanding answers.
His Department of Justice is now demanding that Cuomo, along with a number of other Governors, answer for orders that send Covid-positive patients to nursing homes.
“Protecting the rights of some of society’s most vulnerable members, including elderly nursing home residents, is one of our country’s most important obligations,” Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Division Eric Dreiband said in a statement.
“We must ensure they are adequately cared for with dignity and respect and not unnecessarily put at risk,” he added.
He sent this demand to Cuomo, along with the Democrat Governors of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Michigan.
The order alleges that orders, like what Cuomo made, violate the Civil Rights of Institutionalized Persons Act.
Cuomo’s order specifically states, “No resident shall be denied re-admission or admission to [a nursing home] solely based on a confirmed or suspected diagnosis of COVID-19.”
That order directly put everybody in New York nursing homes in danger, and proved to be deadly.
While the survival rate of coronavirus is very high, over 99% for most of the population, it has proven to be very deadly for the elderly.
Barr’s demand is sure to put Cuomo and other Democrat Governors in hot water, potentially placing them liable for the avoidable deaths they caused.
