Marjorie Taylor Greene yells at Andrew Cuomo for 'murdering people' at COVID-19 hearing

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) accused former Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) of "murdering people" during his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.

At a Thursday hearing before the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, Greene reminded Cuomo that he had "attacked President Trump and his response" to the virus outbreak.

"That was just a few days after you signed the directive to put COVID-19 patients into nursing homes on March 25th, which led to murdering people's parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents," Greene said. "Yes, murdering them."

"Would you like to turn to the people here in this room today whose mothers died and their fathers died in these nursing homes and call them conspiracy theorists?" she continued. "Do you have the audacity to do that?"

Without giving Cuomo a chance to respond, she asserted he "blamed staff for spreading COVID in nursing homes."

"I didn't ask you a question!" she exclaimed. "I'm talking to you."

"On March 25th, you signed a directive to put COVID-19 patients into nursing homes," Greene said.

"You put them in nursing homes, which is murder!" the lawmaker shouted. "No, that's murdering people!"

"I'm saying that right now, and I'm also saying what a lot of people believe what your actions did."

During the pandemic, Greene claimed hospitals were not overwhelmed by COVID-19 patients.

"Yes, [hospital] waiting rooms get full," she said at the time. "But guess what, the waiting rooms are full of all kinds of things, not just COVID."

"So while the news tries to tell us the hospitals are slam-packed with COVID, that's just not the case," Greene added. "Everybody needs to get back down to common sense and remember that, you know, we're human, we can't live forever, we're going to catch all kinds of diseases and illnesses and other viruses, and we get hurt sometimes."
