New York, NY(77WABC)-Top Republicans are reacting to the NY Post’s bombshell report that Secretary to NY Governor Andrew Cuomo, Melissa DeRosa, allegedly apologized to Democratic lawmakers during a video conference call for withholding the state’s Covid 19 nursing home death totals. The Post reports DeRosa told lawmakers “we froze” out of fear the true numbers would be “used against us” by federal prosecutors.
