Republican Congressman Brad Wenstrup of Ohio, who is a doctor and chairman of the select subcommittee on the coronavirus pandemic, recently addressed concerns raised during a hearing involving Governor Cuomo. Families expressed disappointment as Cuomo's responses were deemed lacking in directness and substance.
Congressman Wenstrup acknowledged the mixed reactions from families, stating that while some are pleased that Congress is taking action, others are understandably dissatisfied with the lack of accountability from Governor Cuomo. He emphasized the importance of examining the decisions made during the pandemic, irrespective of political affiliations or geographical boundaries.
During the hearing, Congressman Wenstrup highlighted a directive issued by Cuomo that deviated from CDC guidelines, leading to potential repercussions. He criticized Cuomo for deflecting blame and failing to take responsibility for the directive's consequences, which impacted vulnerable populations in nursing homes.
Shifting focus to the recent vice presidential debate, Congressman Wenstrup refrained from making direct comparisons between the candidates' performances. He noted that debates he had participated in typically differed in tone and substance from the recent event, emphasizing that the outcome of the debate would ultimately be determined by the voters.
As the election draws near, Congressman Wenstrup expressed a sense of urgency for both candidates to present their platforms effectively. He underscored the significance of addressing critical issues facing the nation and engaging in constructive dialogue to inform voters.
