Washington, D.C. – Senator Chuck Schumer refuses to condemn Andrew Cuomo’s nursing home fiasco. But AOC isn’t listening to the “old guard” in New York. She’s calling for a full investigation into Cuomo’s deadly coverup.
There is growing bipartisan support for a thorough, independent investigation into this scandal. But Chuck Schumer is shying away from the spotlight, standing in solidarity with Cuomo and his coverup. As NY GOP Chairman Nick Langworthy put it, “If Chuck Schumer’s running away from a camera, this must be a pretty serious scandal.”
What will it take for Schumer to come out of hiding and defend New York families rather than his political crony?
Even Saturday Night Live went after Andrew Cuomo this past weekend. A fake Britney Spears, played by Chloe Fineman, has done more to hold Andrew Cuomo accountable than Chuck Schumer.
Statement from NRSC Spokeswoman Lizzie Litzow: “Chuck Schumer has forced vulnerable Senate Democrats like Raphael Warnock, Mark Kelly, Catherine Cortez Masto, Michael Bennet and Maggie Hassan to stand in solidarity with Andrew Cuomo and his disastrous policies. AOC is proving she can stand up against her state’s leaders to defend New York families. Why can’t Schumer? New Yorkers and the American people deserve answers.”
