'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.

Fox News' Janice Dean, who lost in-laws to COVID-19, 'physically sick' over Cuomo Emmy: 'While he accepts his award,' we accepted 'caskets and urns'



Fox News meteorologist Janice Dean — who lost her elderly in-laws to COVID-19 as the virus swept through New York City's nursing homes earlier this year — was infuriated Monday and grew visibly emotional when commenting on New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo's acceptance of an Emmy Award for his pandemic leadership.

Cuomo, whose pandemic actions resulted in the deaths of thousands of elderly New Yorkers, was 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 last week.

The Democratic governor called the news of his selection "flattering," adding, "I accept it on behalf of the people of this state."

What did she say?

Dean, a staunch critic of the governor's leadership during the crisis, blasted his frequent self-praise during an appearance on Fox News' "Fox & Friends" Monday morning.

"It's just more grief. Every time we see this governor celebrating himself on television, it's just a reminder of the people that we lost, partly because of his leadership," she said.

Later in the interview Dean added that the thought of him sending in footage of his briefings to the organization made her "physically sick."

"I heard that to get an Emmy Award, you have to send videotape of yourself to the board members," she said. "And so to think that the governor was going through some of his TV appearances talking about deaths in New York and submitting those videos to the Emmy folks really makes me physically sick. He could start his award-winning speech by saying, 'I'm really sorry for your loss.' That's something we have never heard from this governor at any of his meetings or his PowerPoint presentations."

"While he accepts his award, many of us just accepted caskets and urns of our loved ones," Dean said at the end of the interview.

What's the background?

Dean is one of many incensed at the governor for his implementation of a dangerous policy early on in the pandemic which forced nursing homes to accept coronavirus positive patients who had been discharged from the hospital. The policy remained in effect from March until May 10, and is estimated to have directly resulted in the deaths of thousands of elderly New Yorkers.

In July, Dean called for an investigation into the governor's actions pertaining to nursing homes amid the pandemic.

Despite the political heat, Cuomo has refused to accept responsibility for his actions. Instead, he has celebrated his leadership by accepting the award and publishing a book about his handling of the virus and even as it raged on in the state.
