'Hannity' host slams the scandal-plagued New York governor for his lack of accountability
This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
Im, Chad, from Capitol Hill now
back to Hannity,
now more explosive
developments tonight surrounding
Andrew Cuomos, nursing home
death cover up and its worse
than we ever thought
major new details just ahead, but
first one of Andrew Cuomos
sexual harassment, accusers sat
down with CBS and laid out
serious allegations against
Governor Cuomo.
Take a look,
so you think all this
national attention may have
emboldened him.
Absolutely.
I think he felt like he was
untouchable in a lot of ways. So
he goes you were raped,
you were raped,
you were raped and abused and
assaulted.
He asked if I had trouble
enjoying being with someone
because of my trauma.
What were you thinking as
hes asking you these questions?
I thought hes trying to
sleep with me.
The governor is trying to sleep
with me
and im deeply uncomfortable
and I to get out of this room as
soon as possible.
Where are the calls for
accountability from major
establishment democrats?
In other words, the I believer
caucus?
Are they going to hold Andrew
Cuomo to the same standards they
held Justice Kavanaugh to,
or is it going to continue to be
mostly crickets from those
usually some of the loudest
voices
weve yet to hear from Kamala
Harris and she led the I believe,
her caucus in the? U DOT S Senate
against Kavanaugh.
The growing harassment
allegations about one of the
scandals now swirling around the
New York governor
as a new investigation from the
Wall Street Journal and the
New York Times, finds that top
Cuomo advisers influenced state
health officials and pressured
them to remove data from a
report. It was actually in June,
but it was a July public report
purposefully, hiding and covering
up the relevant life saving
information.
In other words, rather than
change the late March executive
order, they looked at the nine thousand
deaths that they found and
instead of rectifying what was
an obvious fix. They decided to
cover it up, purposefully,
hide it.
Then they lashed out at nursing
homes
they lashed out at anybody, and
then, of course, when all others
were lashed out at enough, then
of course blamed Donald Trump,
who was building the hospitals
that remain empty. That could
have taken these nursing home
patients.
This covered up report showed
the Covid nursing home deaths in
the state exceeded numbers
previously released by the
administration in whats, just
the latest evidence of whats a
massive cover up scandal
surrounding Andrew Cuomo and
many of his cronies and his
administration in Albany.
It could have been fixed in
June.
I guess he was too busy writing
his book and preparing for his
Emmy and attacking Donald Trump.
This goes beyond just hiding
data.
This now involves Cuomo aides,
actively changing official
information in an official
health report to cover Cuomo
politically
so lets be clear,
were now looking at
overwhelming evidence of
potential criminalality.
This appears to have been done
to avoid not just scrutiny from
the public but to obstruct a
possible federal investigation
because, as the journal also
reported, the Department of
Justice had begun seeking data
from New York and other states
last August and remember at
the same time, Cuomo hid the
nursing home data. He was
writing his book, an coronavirus
response and it received such
praise from the media mob.
The time for transparency and
accountability was long ago and
its now time for the governor
to be held accountable, stop.
