Judge Garland Says He āDoes Not Know The Factsā Of The Cuomo Nursing Home Scandal
Merrick Garland declined to get into details about the COVID-19 nursing home disaster that plagued New York following Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo's mandate.dailycaller.com
Judge Merrick Garland, President Joe Bidenās attorney general pick, declined to get into details on Monday about the COVID-19 nursing home disaster that plagued New York following Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomoās mandate.
Republican Louisiana Sen. John Kennedy asked Garland how he would have handled COVID-19 had he been chief judge when the pandemic began. Kennedy wondered if he āwould have adopted a rule thatā deemed it ādiscriminatoryā to ask someone to take a COVID-19 test to return to work after the individual went to the hospital for the virus and was treated and released.
Garland said āno,ā he would not have adopted that rule.
Kennedy followed this up by wondering aloud if this is āwhat happened with a lot of our nursing homes throughout the country.ā While Kennedy did not name New York in particular, Cuomo has come under fire for his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. He mandated that nursing homes accept patients who had previously tested positive for COVID-19 while barring facilities from requiring negative tests for a period of time in 2020.
āI honestly donāt know what happened with the nursing homes,ā Garland responded. āI donāt know what theyāre doing with respect to ā Iām sorry, Iām not again, Iām not trying to be evasive. I really, I really donāt know the facts here. I mean, I think in the example you gave me, thereās nothing discriminatory about asking people who might be infected from a public health point of view to be sure they donāt infect other people, and if a determinations made theyāre not infected, then of course thatās the end of it. Equal treatment doesnāt mean we donāt take into consideration the possibilities of different degrees of health in a particular circumstance.
āAnd I donāt, I honestly, donāt know what happened, but the nursing home ā I know it was terrible that many people got the COVID in the nursing homes and it was a major vector in the spread of the infection. But I donāt know why that was, except that there are people cooped up in one place and itās easy to spread,ā he continued.
The FBI is reportedly investigating Cuomo over the nursing home deaths. The alleged investigation comes after revelations indicated that his administration underreported nursing home COVID-19 deaths by up to 50% and reports that they tried to hide the correct death count.
The left loon also refused to say illegals crossing the borders is a crime.
Thank God he was never confirmed
And this stammering numbskull is supposed to be USSC material?
I'm not even an attorney and I know illegals crossing the borders is a crime.
The bar for leftist judges must be very low
