judge jeanine it seems the competition thatti andrew cuomo wants to have with ron desantis, governor santisnt of florida s exacerbated by the fact that now cuomo was talking about not letting people from florida coming to new york so there be infected and we have the highest number in the higher number of deaths of senior citizens, our businesses are not open in florida is open for business, he has a pathetic fragile ego but he promotes as a wonderful governor but what do you think of the fact that the media played in to his emmy-winning book on leadership and having these press conferences, he's an example for all of us, don't they have some role in this? >> the media is absolutely culpable in advancing this mythology of cuomo that is derived by the facts and the facts keep getting uglier and uglier both for the governor of the media it wasn't just ron desantis that they were smearing at the time we were going through presidential election and why they promoted andrew cuomo as a great oracle of the response for the coronavirus and weree conducting against our president acting as if e

paul: dan, this is fascinating because not too long ago andrew cuomo was the great hero of covid.s the anti-trump. he was the person -- he won an emmy award for his performances on a daily basis. supposedly informing the public of the state of covid. but you wrote this week that cuomo in many ways was a lot like trump when it comes to covid. what did you -- explain that for people. >> well, he just would not take responsibility for his mistakes, and, you know, presentations by andrew cuomo that were being broadcast daily on cnn and msnbc, that was just the highlight film. those of us in new york knew that andrew cuomo was at cross-purposes with the mayor of new york city, bill de blasio, mayors all around the state, school boards all around the state. and rather than try to work with them, andrew cuomo -- as did to some extent donald trump -- simply tried to impose his personality on the covid crisis inside new york state. and when in this nursing home incident happened and it was pointed out that he was claiming deaths half the size of what was occurring in massachusetts, pennsyl

chief among them happen to be andrew cuomo himself during the kavanaugh witch hundred. remember that? cuomo released a statement to "dr. christine blaze ford and all survivors, we believe you and we will fight for you." so that raises the natural question tonight, is cuomo going to apply the same standard to the women accusing him of sexual assault and remember also cuomo demanded that kavanaugh take a lie detector test. so again tonight, we ask will he apply the same standard to himself? will andrew cuomo take a lie detector test? what about all of the i believers in the democratic party? they have been silent lately. might remember some of them. >> i believe her. first of all, anybody that comes forward at this point to be prepared to testify in the united states senate against someone who is being nominated to one of the most powerful positions in the united states government, that takes an extraordinary amount of courage. >> not only do women like dr. ford who bravely comes forward need to be heard, but they need to be believed. they need to be believed. >> let me sa

elizabeth: so andrew cuomo makes 10 appearances, that is the estimate on chris cuomo's show. deaths. the story was breaking out right at that time. cuomo's press conferences, he didn't talk about it. i don't think he mentioned it in his book either. now we have, you know, anchors like jake tapper and then we have, they have been covering it. jake tapper covered it but only recently. this story started last spring, the spring of last year. brian stelter finally covers it but didn't push back when a guest from powe lit at this fact told stelter that cuomo order patients back into nursing home, made no quote significant difference in covid-19 deaths when democrats, when watchdog groups saying yeah it did. even the state attorney general said it is an issue. >> right. these anchors at cnn refuse to do their job while they wrap themselves in these sanctimonious labels like journalist. all the while throughout the year as this is going on, 13,000 nursing home residents at least in new york died of covid after cuomo's disasterous nursing home policy. this was a death order that coul

cuomo self-serving book raises embarrassing questions, politicians being human make mistakes and andrew cuomoe a serious error that led to thousands when necessary tragic death in nursing homes. should a politician like cuomo have a moral obligation to admit his error even in this case, likely to lead him losing his position? president of the united states and lawsuits? that is a good question. doesn't he have a moral obligation to do that? march of last year, he ordered to admit patients who tested positive for the coronavirus. then cuomo's administration hit the number of deaths that resulted from that order. we are not speculating about that. one of the steppers admitted they did it. but andrew cuomo himself still does not acknowledge that he did any wrongdoing whatsoever and said last week he blamed the people who work in nursing homes. >> covid did not get into the nursing homes. by people coming from hospitals. it covid got into the nursing homes by staff walking into the nursing home. >> tucker: so case closed. i am not responsible for the 11,000 nursing home deaths in new york or the
