Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky is calling for the impeachment
of Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) following the governor's catastrophic
nursing home policy that mixed COVID-19 patients with vulnerable nursing
home residents."I think Governor Cuomo should be impeached ... for the disastrous decision he made to send patients with coronavirus back to nursing homes and virtually half his people who died were in the nursing homes," Paul said during an interview on Fox News's Rundown podcast.
Gov. Cuomo's policy of sending coronavirus patients into nursing homes is more perplexing given the availability of beds at the Javitz Center, where President Trump approved a temporary hospital to specifically house and treat coronavirus patients. The president also sent a floating hospital packed with emergency supplies to New York Harbor to make additional room.
