\n In a stunning about-face, former Gov. David Paterson on Monday suddenly walked back his criticism from a day earlier of successor Andrew Cuomo\u2019s nursing home policy during the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n

Paterson said he \u201cmisspoke,\u201d just hours after The Post put a story online about his Sunday radio interview where he said Cuomo should admit he made a mistake for directing the facilities to take in COVID-19 patients discharged from hospitals.<\/p>\n

About 6,2000 nursing home residents in the state have died or are presumed to have died from the coronavirus.<\/p>\n

Cuomo has come under fire for his initial March 25 state Health Department order that directed nursing homes to admit or readmit recovering COVID patients discharged from hospitals.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think some of the of the people sent back to the nursing homes with the virus \u2013 and nursing homes weren\u2019t equipped to quarantine them from everyone else \u2013 and I think it had some difficult consequences,\u201d Paterson said during an interview on AM 970 The Answer Sunday with Frank Morano.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe governor was trying to do the right thing. One thing you learn in life but we never allow our elected officials to engage in is that you can\u2019t get everything right,\u201d Paterson said.<\/p>\n

He said when questions and criticisms were first raised about the nursing home order, \u201cHe [Cuomo] seemed to be blaming the nursing homes \u2013 but he gave the order,\u201d Paterson said.<\/p>\n

But Paterson changed his tune just hours later, saying he was swayed by Cuomo senior adviser, Richard Azzopardi\u2019s citing a state law to defend the governor\u2019s action in The Post story.<\/p>\n

Azzopardi told The Post, \u201cOnce again, Section 10 NYCRR 415.26 specifically states that a nursing home shall accept and retain ONLY those residents for whom it can provide adequate care \u2014 and that standard remained in place during this pandemic. If facilities couldn\u2019t care for patients, New York offered to help with transfers, provided access to 96,000 staffers \u2014 which 400 out of 600 homes used \u2014 and have given them more than 13 million pieces of protective equipment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Paterson then issued an updated statement withdrawing his criticism of Cuomo.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe statute cited clearly holds that the nursing homes should not have accepted those patients. Fortunately when I was governor I did not have to deal with a global pandemic. So that was not a statue I would readily be familiar with when I discussed this issue on Sunday.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said Azzopardi\u2019s statement makes it \u201ccrystal clear\u201d that the governor \u201chad to rely on the nursing homes\u2019 advice when determining whether or not they should admit patients.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI am more than willing to take my own advice and admit I misspoke on the issue,\u201d Paterson said.<\/p>\n

A Paterson spokesman insisted that the former governor did not get chewed out by Cuomo or anyone in his campaign before doing the 180.<\/p>\n

Radio host Morano said he thought Paterson was \u201cvery honest\u201d during the Sunday interview.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe praised the governor\u2019s overall performance. He said the governor should admit he made a mistake in one specific area,\u201d Morano said.<\/p>\n

Asked about Paterson backpedaling on his criticism of Cuomo, Morano said, \u201cI can only speculate. Perhaps he was concerned about the political ramifications of a former prominent Democratic official being critical of Cuomo.<\/p>\n

\u201cGovernor Cuomo\u2019s reputation for political retribution is well-known. I cannot say that happ<\/a>ened in this case. But you have to keep that in mind. When it comes to Andrew Cuomo\u2019s reputation for seeking retribution, nothing surprises me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Paterson was known as the \u201caccidental governor\u201d for taking over the reins when ex-Gov. Eliot Spitzer abruptly resigned after getting embroiled in hooker scandal. Paterson, then the lieutenant governor, by law became the state\u2019s chief executive.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
