New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo admitted that his state already has thousands of unused ventilators - even as he and the establishment media hammer President Donald Trump over a supposed shortage of the potentially life-saving medical devices in the Empire State.
Cuomo has insisted that New York might need up to 40,000 ventilators, an estimate which Trump has pushed back on.
The subject of ventilators turned political Friday, when multiple establishment media outlets accused Trump of downplaying the need for the devices - which are a commodity for hospitals across the country, and not just in New York.
"No big deal! Just the President of the United States suggesting that the governor of New York is lying about the number of ventilators he needs to help keep people alive! What proof did Trump offer to back up this claim? Um, none," CNN's Chris Cillizza wrote.
"Thousand of Federal Government Ventilators found in New York storage. N.Y. must distribute NOW!" Trump tweeted Friday.
Cuomo responded by telling CNN that Trump is "Grossly uninformed" on the issue, before revealing New York has indeed been stockpiling ventilators.
Pence's comments came after Trump had already announced that the federal government had sent 400 ventilators to New York.
