Conservatives have previously reported about the family of NY Governor Andrew Cuomo getting special access to COVID-19 testing during the pandemic when testing was hard to get.
But now information has come out that reveals the special testing did not stop until at least last month — even after being reported on and people were outraged about it. This shows Cuomo believes he has absolute power.
According to the NY Times, federal prosecutors are now investigating the special access.
In addition to the governor’s brother, CNN host Chris Cuomo, and his mother and sister, the people who received special access included Giorgio DeRosa, the father of Cuomo’s top aide. That special access continued up to last month when one of Cuomo’s daughters, Mariah Cuomo, and her boyfriend, Tellef Lundevall, got testing on April 3.
These “specials” were sent to the Wadsworth Center and processed quickly, according to the New York Post. In other words, some are just a bit higher than others. And they are not trying to deny it because the governor is “special.”
Dutchess County Executive Marc Molinaro also said that nursing homes were even denied testing during that time frame.
This special treatment and access occurred while staff and residents at nursing homes and homes for those with disabilities were denied access to testing… in fact, we were asked not to make testing available. https://t.co/kGLQtamamJ

Democrat Assemblyman Ron Kim, who was a critic of Cuomo because his uncle died in a nursing home from covid, slammed the special access.
In March/April 2020, I had COVID symptoms and suffered in bed with a 104-degree temperature. I called the DOH 1-800 no to get tested, didn’t use my position to cut the line. Someone from DOH did call me back … precisely one month laterhttps://t.co/PR1PgQCq61

Janice Dean, who lost family members in nursing homes, also destroyed Cuomo.
This reporting is incredible. They called @NYGovCuomo’s friends and family members “specials” and they received Covid tests when they were scarce. Nursing homes couldn’t get any to test incoming infected patients. @nytimes https://t.co/Q5y9F2K7kY

I’ve gotten used to thinking nothing is going to happen to @NYGovCuomo regardless of how much comes out, but this morning I feel a glimmer of hope.
