On Friday, the International Emmy Awards announced the recipient of its International Emmy® Founders Award for 2020: New York Democrat Governor Andrew Cuomo. The International Emmy Awards lauded Cuomo “in recognition of his leadership during the Covid-19 pandemic and his masterful use of television to inform and calm people around the world.”

In response, Texas GOP Rep. Dan Crenshaw fired off a critical post on Twitter, writing, “I think the International Emmys are confusing ‘highest death count’ and ‘putting COVID patients back into nursing homes’ categories with the ‘best performance’ category.”
