Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has finally come around to sort of admitting that his directive, forcing nursing homes to accept patients who had COVID-19, likely led to a lot of infections and deaths. But when are the media, Hollywood, and the book publishing industry going to apologize for propping him up as a pandemic hero?

Under Cuomo’s leadership, New York has consistently been among the top two worst states for coronavirus-related deaths. It also has an unemployment rate that is 2 percentage points higher than the nation as a whole.
