In case you missed it, just one week ago all 50 Senate Democrats voted against Senator Tim Scott's amendment to hold states accountable that misreport COVID-related nursing home deaths.

Now, new reports show that Governor Cuomo's administration knowingly withheld the state's nursing home death toll.

Last night, Senator Scott issued the following statement: "Last week, every Senate Democrat voted against my amendment to hold states like New York accountable for misreporting data on COVID-related nursing home deaths. Now we find out the truth. This is unacceptable, & those involved must be held accountable."
