Andrew Cuomo, D., for his role in an alleged cover-up of thousands of nursing home deaths in the state. Last year, PolitiFact focused narrowly on the notion that Cuomo was being held "solely responsible" for the deaths. However, the Cuomo administration’s March 25 policy directive expressly barred nursing homes from turning down patients because they had COVID-19. Criticism intensified after New York Attorney General Letitia James, D., significantly underreported the number of COVID-19 deaths at the facilities. State Democrats have called for Cuomo to be stripped of his emergency powers following the nursing home scandal.
