EXCLUSIVE Fox News senior meteorologist Janice Dean led the charge against Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s growing nursing home scandal, which led to the tragic deaths of both her in-laws, but she might never have spoken if the Democrat had not. did not. to make a mockery of the situation during a series of interviews with his brother on CNN.
“The launch pad of my voice is to see the two on CNN,” Dean told Fox News in a telephone interview Tuesday about her new book, “Make Your Own Sunshine: Inspirational Stories of People Finding Light in Dark Times,” to discuss. “
JANICE DEAN COMPARES CUOMO SEX TITLE ENVIRONMENT TO ALL CAPONE CATCHED FOR TAX AVOIDING
On May 21, CNN famously allowed the governor’s younger brother, Chris Cuomo, to hold a comedy show with his older sibling while ignoring the nursing home crisis. The CNN anchor pulled out a series of big Q-tips to ask government official Cuomo if he needed the comic big cotton swabs to receive a coronavirus test in what was apparently an excavation as big as his brother’s nose.
The image of Governor Cuomo laughing while his brother or sister of CNN held the giant Q-Tip emerged as a moment that would damage CNN’s reputation as a serious news organization forever, but it also motivated Dean to speak.
CNN’s Chris Cuomo has been criticized for a series of light-hearted interviews with his older brother and the network has since banned him from covering the governor’s multiple scandals.
Her first appearance on ‘Tucker Carlson Tonight’ which she voiced against Cuomo was a day after the Q-Tip incident and since then she has not slowed down.
“It’s really what turned my sadness into anger, and that’s one of the biggest reasons it was time for me to speak out. I was so disgusted,” Dean said.
‘The fact that there were corpses piled up outside nursing homes, the fact that we could not have wakes or funerals for my family and thousands of families paid attention to this and wanted answers, and this man has the nerve to go on his brother’s show and make jokes? That’s why I did the Tucker show the night after. ‘
GOV. CUOMO ACCUSED OF SEXUAL BULLYING BY PREVIOUS AID
Cuomo has since been accused of withholding data on COVID-19 deaths at nursing homes to bully federal investigators and political opponents, in addition to multiple claims of sexual harassment.
However, Dean was not only disgusted by the governor’s CNN actions, as Cuomo became more selfish as the pandemic continued, such as showing a poster calling his success and writing a book on COVID leadership. Chris Cuomo’s glowing portrayal of his brother helped him emerge as a hero among liberals, and he was awarded an Emmy Award and regularly praised by the mainstream media.
“It was his arrogance, his celebration of himself and his ego that I really believe, that made him fall,” she said as the governor put increasing pressure to resign.
Meanwhile, CNN has implemented a rule banning the name “Cuomo Prime Time” to cover its big brother. Chris Cuomo told viewers Monday night that he was “aware of what’s going on with my brother” and said he “clearly can not” cover his brother or sister. The CNN host was roasted online because he suddenly declared that he could not interview a family member.
CUOMO BROTHERS CONTINUE TO DECIDE CNN IF THE NETWORK’S MOST BIRTHDAY CANNOT DECIDE THE GOVERNMENT’S SCANDAL
Now that Governor Cuomo’s growing scandals are one of the most important stories in America, Dean feels that CNN needs to sideline Chris Cuomo until he can report the news.
“I think he should take a sabbatical. I actually think he should not be on TV right now because of the big conflict of interest,” Dean said. ‘Last night I could not believe his [comments]… or that, or they should have a complete news report separate from his program being discussed [Governor] Cuomo. I think everyone in journalism is now shrinking from this. This is journalistic malpractice. ‘
Dean has compared Cuomo, who is accused of sexual harassment and other inappropriate behavior, to the federal government that is behind mobster Al Capone for tax evasion, but she will not be disappointed if allegations of sexual harassment force him to resign. contrary to his decision. forcing nursing homes to admit patients with coronavirus.
“The bottom line is that he has to go,” Dean said. “Whether it’s because of horrific #MeToo stuff or a major corruption, criminal case against him in connection with the murder of 15,000 people, the conclusion is that he should go. However, my hope is that even though the sexual harassment is disgusting and he should be punished for it.I hope the federal investigation, the FBI investigation, all the investigations that continue, do the job I want for ten months now, and that is to expose all the answers we have been asking for months now. ‘
CNN AND THE DANGEROUS DIFFERENCE OF TRUTH WHILE NEW YORKERS Died
If the allegations against Cuomo about sexual harassment force him to resign, Dean does not intend to retract the story of the nursing home anytime soon.
“I’m on the long road to it. I’m already planning to hold a rally around the 25th anniversary. I’m in touch with a lot of families,” Dean said. “I will continue to plead for this story long after the cameras are not there and the press is not there. We need to put sunlight on it.”
Dean, who used her social media platform for positive, uplifting messages before the pandemic, still sometimes hesitates when she attacks the governor on Twitter, but does not regret her decision to turn away from inspiring tweets to expose Cuomo’s wrongdoing calls not irritated by the “cotton swab” segment and other not-so-serious CNN appearances.
“At the time, that was the only way I could get these messages. Social media was very good for this cause,” she said, adding that her goal was to expose this governor and the corruption and massacre in the nursing home. basically, it happened a year ago. ‘
She hopes to eventually return to lighter tweets, such as jokes for her children or dog videos, but it is currently ‘necessary to let the sunlight shine on corruption’ in Albany and what has happened to families over the past year.

Dean believes the liberal media long ago gave Cuomo the nursing home tragedy it would not have given to a Republican.
“It’s going to be in every newspaper, in the mainstream media, on ABC and CBS, all the morning shows. I don’t have to be this person,” Dean said.
