Andrew Cuomo in New York City.

Andrew Cuomo (D) insisted he remained truthful about the virus throughout the pandemic, despite being faced with numerous allegations for lying about deaths in his state. During a press briefing at Yankee Stadium on Monday, Cuomo took zero responsibility for nursing home deaths in New York and went as far as to say he only told the facts about the virus from the beginning.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have told you the facts on COVID from day 1,\u201d he claimed. \u201c\u2026While a lot of people were talking politics and a lot of people were talking theory and a lot of people were trying to deny because they did not want to deliver bad news, I told you the truth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Social media users were outraged by the governor\u2019s words and suggested Cuomo was gaslighting the public to increase New York\u2019s vaccination rates. He went on to blame unvaccinated New Yorkers for the rise in coronavirus cases by saying ideology, religion and concerns about long term vaccine effects were not valid excuses for not getting jabbed.<\/p>\n<p>He went on to say, \u201cthere is not logical theory that anyone can advance now that says it\u2019s more logical not to take the vaccine than to take the vaccine.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">At Yankee Stadium making an announcement.

So toxic, so mean, it was an outrageous allegation,\u201d he expressed. \u201cNew York followed the CDC guidance. CDC is a federal agency that is supposed to know what they are talking about.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Over the weekend, the Department of Justice announced it would not investigate Cuomo\u2019s handling of the pandemic. This has been a major blowback to those who have tried to hold the governor accountable for allowing infected COVID-19 patents to reside in nursing homes.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/calif-gov-newsom-compares-unvaccinated-people-to-drunk-drivers\/\">Calif.
