'Watch your back': Janice Dean details how Gov. Cuomo abused power to SILENCE his critics



On a recent episode of "The Rubin Report," BlazeTV host Dave Rubin spoke with Fox News senior meteorologist Janice Dean, author of "Make Your Own Sunshine," about far-left New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo's nursing home deaths scandal and what it's really been like to challenge a powerful Democrat involved in a cover-up.

Janice described how the mainstream media ignored Cuomo's nursing home scandal story, instead showering him with nonstop praise, including appearances with his brother, Chris Cuomo, on CNN. It took the sexual harassment allegations against him to finally make the media wake up.

Janice, who lost both of her in-laws to COVID-19 in a New York state nursing home, revealed that she was warned to "watch your back" by people close to the Cuomo family after she became a vocal critic of the governor's mandate to put COVID-positive patients into New York's nursing homes during the pandemic. She told Dave she's been warned about how Gov. Cuomo uses bullying tactics to silence dissent, even against Democratic allies like New York state Assemblyman Ron Kim.

NY Gov. Cuomo to receive an Emmy Award for his pandemic leadership and 'masterful' use of TV to 'calm' people around the world



New York Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo has been selected to receive this year's International Emmy Founder's Award "in recognition of his leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic and his masterful use of television to inform and calm people around the world," the organization announced in a news release Friday.

What are the details?

In the release, International Academy President & CEO Bruce L. Paisner gushed over Cuomo's daily televised briefings, which he held for 111 consecutive days starting on March 2, at the start of the pandemic, and ending on June 19.

"The governor's 111 daily briefings worked so well because he effectively created television shows, with characters, plot lines, and stories of success and failure," Paisner said. "People around the world tuned in to find out what was going on, and New York tough became a symbol of the determination to fight back."

The organization noted that these daily briefings were "carried live by New York's local TV stations, nationally on CNN, MSNBC, Fox News and other news outlets in the U.S. and around the world" and all in all "have drawn a total of 59 million viewers."

"It's flattering," Cuomo said, responding to the news during a Friday conference call with the media. "I accept it on behalf of the people of this state. It's for the people of the state. What New Yorkers did was really amazing."

According to the organization, the Founder's Award is presented annually to an individual or organization who "crosses cultural boundaries to touch our common humanity." Notable past recipients include former Vice President Al Gore, Oprah Winfrey, and Steven Spielberg.

What else?

The news is sure to spark controversy as the governor has been harshly criticized over his implementation of strict lockdown measures in the state since the start of the pandemic. He has also been excoriated for his implementation of a dangerous policy that mandated that nursing homes receive patients who had tested positive for the coronavirus but were discharged from the hospital.

The March 25 directive was eventually rescinded on May 10 but by then it was too late for thousands of elderly New Yorkers. In the aftermath of the fiasco, Cuomo has attempted to duck responsibility.

Unsurprisingly, the news was panned by many on social media.

Outkick writer Clay Travis wrote: "Cuomo's failures directly led to the death of tens of thousands of New Yorkers. He's objectively the worst political leader in the world in the 21st century. I mean, this is just total madness."

"Andrew Cuomo deserves to be on trial for the elderly people his nursing home order directly murdered. Instead, he's getting an Emmy," the Federalist's Ben Domenech added.

"It's not enough to gaslight you," conservative commentator Buck Sexton tweeted. "Cuomo and his lib minions won't be happy until they make you question your grip on reality with all their bulls**t propaganda."

Meghan McCain called the news "shameful."

And Allie Beth Stuckey added, "Hello & welcome to ClownTown! Where boys are girls, 2 and 2 make 5, Elizabeth Warren is Native American, 1984 is a training manual and Governor Cuomo is a hero. hope you hate it here."

The Washington Examiner's Siraj Hashmi tweeted, "If we're lucky, Andrew Cuomo will receive a Nobel Peace Prize for his work in ending suffering in New York's nursing homes."

'He's profiting off the over 30,000 New Yorkers, including my in-laws, that died': Janice Dean calls out Gov. Cuomo's hypocrisy



Fox News senior meteorologist Janice Dean is perhaps even more disgusted with New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) for his coronavirus response than BlazeTV's Stu Burguiere (read what Stu has to say on the subject here), and for a good reason.

She lost both of her in-laws to COVID-19 in New York's nursing homes after Gov. Cuomo's infamous nursing home mandate, which Cuomo has since had scrubbed from the state's website and blamed everyone from the New York Post to nursing care workers to (every leftist's favorite scapegoat) President Donald Trump.

Janice joined Glenn and Stu on the "Glenn Beck Radio Program" Tuesday to ask why mainstream media is not holding Gov. Cuomo — who recently published a book about his leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic — accountable?

"I'm vocal because I have not seen the mainstream media ask these questions or demand accountability of their leaders. [Cuomo] really has been ruling with an iron fist, and every time he does get asked a question, he blames everybody else except the person that signed that order," Janice said.

"In my mind, he's profiting off the over 30 thousand New Yorkers, including my in-laws, that died by publishing a book on 'leadership' of New York," she added. "His order has helped kill thousands of relatives of New York state. And this is not political, Glenn. This is not about Republican or Democrat. My in-laws were registered Democrats. This is not about politics. This is about accountability for something that went wrong, and it's because of your [Cuomo's] leadership that we're put into this situation."
