Ex-NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo is in front of the Republican-created COVID Select Committee on Tuesday. Here’s the Trump record it should be examining, he writes.
On Tuesday, I will be appearing before the Congressional Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, a body that according to thecreating it, is, among other areas, supposed to investigate “executive branch policies, deliberations, decisions, activities, and internal and external communications related to the coronavirus crisis.”
While this committee doesn’t appear sincerely interested in getting to the bottom of that, let’s not forget what we already learned so it can never happen again. Trump was concerned about his re-election and knew many people would die, but rather than do his job and lead the nation he distanced himself. It was a political and governmental blunder of epic proportions with deadly consequences. He literally said,and instead deferred the national crisis to the states, delegating more authority to 50 governors than President Lincoln delegated to Gen. Grant during the Civil War.
This protest at the Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx in New York in April 2020 over a lack of PPE was caused by Trump’s failings, says Cuomo.When the federal government did act, it was incompetent. The nation’s testing capacity was woefully inadequate. Early on, the CDC insisted on controlling testing and prohibited state laboratories from participating, costing months of deadly delay.
