The media placed Andrew Cuomo on a pedestal and has made him an “oracle” of the pandemic, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla) said on "Justice with Judge Jeanine."

Now that there have been reports of Cuomo covering the exact number of COVID-19 deaths in nursing homes, the governor is slowly being stripped of how he was packaged, Maetz noted.

"The media is absolutely culpable in advancing this mythology of Cuomo that is belied by the facts," he said. "And the facts keep getting uglier and uglier."

Gaetz said that Cuomo became an “oracle” at the expense of former President Donald Trump, targeting him for his response to the virus, Fox News reported.

"The 45th president put us on the path to the fastest, safest vaccine development the world has ever known," he said. "And we are still seeing the consequence of President Trump's actions in the saving of lives and, sadly, we're only starting to unearth the extent to which the actions of Gov. Cuomo cost lives."

Criminal investigation and impeachment proceedings for the allegedly irresponsible COVID-19 information handling are currently being called on against Cuomo. This came after his top aide revealed the nursing home death toll had been withheld.
