    Cuomo aide admits they hid nursing home data so feds wouldn’t find out

    Governor Cuomo’s top aide privately apologized to Democratic lawmakers for withholding the state’s nursing-home death toll from COVID-19 — telling them “we froze” out of fear the true numbers would “be used against us” by federal prosecutors, The Post has learned.

    The stunning admission of a cover-up was made by Secretary to the Governor Melissa DeRosa during a video conference call with state Democratic leaders in which she said the Cuomo administration had rebuffed a legislative request for the tally in August because “right around the same time, [then-President Donald Trump] turns this into a giant political football,” according to an audio recording of the two-hour-plus meeting.

    Unfortunately politicians hide things all the time. For example what public service union contracts will cost taxpayers over the time. This is why politicians have such a poor reputation, but what Cuomo did cost many people their lives and that is much more egregious than simple omission of truth. Lies, promises, pandering is what wins elections, unless the electorate is enlightened and willing to vote for common sense even if there is detriment or at the very least no benefit to them. So am I surprised? No.

    This is a big reason why democracies eventually fail.
