I love the way the The NYT Editorial Board tries to put a positive spin on Cuomo.

"There is a lot Mr. Cuomo can be proud of. The governor used his considerable political talents to great effect. He persuaded the State Legislature to legalize same-sex marriage, pass strong gun-control legislation and raise the minimum wage, and he saw New York through several crises, from Superstorm Sandy in 2012 to the coronavirus pandemic. Few people understand how to make government work as Mr. Cuomo does."

As if Andy's thuggishisness and central planning policies as Dear Leader is something to be proud of. I guess we are supposed to believe these were Cuomo's great accomplishments as told by the the The NYT Editorial Board anyway. I was really surprised they didn't include his late term abortion law as a great accomplishment too.

They did forgot to mention his many failures and enormous waste of taxpayers money on fascist economic development schemes and the corruption that surrounded it all.
I wonder why? Weren't these examples of Cuomo's genius at "how to make government work" too?

But now Cuomo is a pariah within his own party, not for the damage he's done to many of the people in the state by political means, but because he's an accused serial womanizer.

Andrew Cuomo Becomes Expendable
With Trump gone, the embarrassing New York Governor is no longer necessary.
WSJ Editorial Board


The Democratic demands for Andrew Cuomo to resign have become a stampede, which is all the more reason for New York’s Governor to resist. Even unpopular politicians deserve due process, especially when former idolaters turn as quickly as progressives have on Mr. Cuomo.

We have no brief for the Governor, whose record on Covid-19 has been one of the country’s worst. His excessive and arbitrary lockdowns have done enormous harm to thousands of businesses and millions of people. His administration’s guidance that nursing homes had to accept Covid patients from hospitals led to many needless deaths. Then his administration lied about it.

Yet everyone has known all this for months, even as the press nominated Mr. Cuomo for Covid sainthood. The Washington Post retired the adorer’s cup: “Can Andrew Cuomo become FDR?” He won an Emmy for his media briefings, of all things, and a lucrative book contract for self-serving musings on the pandemic and leadership.

The new media consensus is that Mr. Cuomo is a bully who runs a “toxic” workplace and harasses women. A bully? You don’t say. Mr. Cuomo has been Governor for 10 years. He has bullied reporters in plain sight from the beginning, and threatened politicians who dared to criticize him, yet in the local press only the New York Post has taken him on.

The harassment charges, now made by seven women, vary in seriousness and deserve to be investigated. Under Mr. Cuomo’s own previous standard that women should be believed, he would have resigned by now. But the Governor says he didn’t do what is alleged, and that everyone should let the investigation by lawyers appointed by the Democratic Attorney General establish the facts.

By all means. The Democratic default that accusers are always to be believed is deeply unfair. It’s also often a double standard, as we learned when the press ignored Joe Biden’s accuser. Like our friends at the New York Sun, these columns advised former Sen. Al Franken, who also said he was innocent, to defend himself rather than resign amid a stampede started by New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand. Due process is owed everyone, not least politicians elected by voters.

By the way, can we stop equating Mr. Cuomo with Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh ? Mr. Cuomo has been accused by multiple women who worked for him of harassing words or actions, including in the last year. The accusation against Justice Kavanaugh concerned behavior in high school and had no corroborating evidence. Nada. His record toward women in the workplace is by all accounts exemplary.

The left can make its hard turn against Mr. Cuomo now because he is expendable. He was important as a spokesman against President Trump. But now that Democrats run all of Washington, and progressives are in power, Mr. Cuomo is no longer as useful. The harassment accusations are embarrassing to Democrats, who want him gone without a fuss so this unpleasantness doesn’t extend into 2022.

Mr. Cuomo shouldn’t let these opportunists off easy. If Democrats want him gone, then impeach and convict him based on specific charges and evidence. Make the case for why the verdict of voters should be short-circuited. Make them vote in Albany, and make them watch in Washington.

Sure, while the solo cup holding in a hallway high school kid that haunted the chambers of a delusional mental case woman's mind that NOBODY could ever remember being around the classes, the parties or hanging out with them...sure...lets drop that comparison. It's convenient and holds up the mirror of Hypocrisy the DNC want gone now. Believe all women until they're whores is their mantra. #Metoo, #whoreshavefeelingstoo

So, if that bandaid is too painful to pull off then lets compare the guy to our favorite mass murderer...Hitler! He lumped people together in small spaces. Had an awesome media blitzkrieg and gave such awesome speeches! Crap, he even wrote a book that the masses lapped up like biscuits and sausage gravy. Oh, Hitler too cliche? What about Dexter? Too fictional? It's so hard to know where the body count lands with Cuomo though. Might be safe to say he doesn't reach the 6 million mark...but he's definitely got Dexter beat with his over 15,000 dead rotting corpses.

Remember when the media was all a flutter with how evil Trump was? Seems more and more like Mr. Rogers with each passing day and the constant attention the media is paying to their own now.

Biden, no stranger to inappropriate touching accusations, gives Cuomo pass


Biden and Cuomo have both claimed that they have used physical contact as customary way of interacting with people

More than 160 federal and state lawmakers from both parties call for New York Governor Andrew Cuomo's resignation. Reaction from Assemblyman Angelo Santabarbara and New York State Senator Thomas O'Mara.

President Biden refused to join the chorus of fellow Democrats calling for New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo to resign, as Cuomo faces multiple scandals, including allegations of improper touching.

Cuomo has denied any wrongdoing and claimed any unwanted contact or kissing was not meant to be offensive but simply his "customary" greeting. Biden has similarly defended himself from accusations that he has inappropriately touched women.

"Social norms are changing. I understand that, and I've heard what these women are saying," Biden said in a message posted to Twitter in April 2019. "Politics to me has always been about making connections, but I will be more mindful about respecting personal space in the future. That's my responsibility and I will meet it."

Biden's statement followed accusations from multiple women who said he made them uncomfortable. Writer D.J. Hill told the New York Times that in 2012 while she and her husband posed for pictures with Biden he placed his hand on her shoulder and moved it down her back, making her "very uncomfortable."

Former college student Caitlyn Caruso told the Times that she met Biden when she was 19 at an event about sexual assault that took place at University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Caruso claimed Biden placed his hand on her thigh and hugged her "just a little bit too long" – after Caruso had spoken about her own experience with sexual assault.

Vail Kohnert-Yount told the Washington Post that when she was a White House intern in 2013 she had an awkward encounter with the then-vice president when Biden came over to introduce himself.

"He then put his hand on the back of my head and pressed his forehead to my forehead while he talked to me," Kohnert-Yount said. "I was so shocked that it was hard to focus on what he was saying. I remember he told me I was a 'pretty girl.'"

Kohnert-Yount said she did not consider the behavior to be sexual harassment, but "it was the kind of inappropriate behavior that makes many women feel uncomfortable and unequal in the workplace."

Amy Lappos, who was an aide for Rep. Jim Himes, D-Conn., told the Hartford Courant that in 2009 Biden put his hand around her neck, pulled her in, and rubbed his nose against hers.

"When he was pulling me in, I thought he was going to kiss me on the mouth," Lappos said.

Former Nevada politician Lucy Flores wrote in The Cut that in 2014 Biden put his hands on her shoulders, smelled her hair, and kissed the back of her head when the two were at a campaign event. She was running for Nevada lieutenant governor at the time.

"In my career, I've always tried to make a human connection," Biden said in his statement addressing the claims. "That's my responsibility, I think. I shake hands, I hug people, I grab men and women by the shoulders and say 'you can do this.' And whether they're women, men, young, old, it's the way I've always been. It's the way I've tried to show I care about them and I'm listening."

Cuomo similarly defended himself against a claim from Anna Ruch that he placed his hands on her face and asked to kiss her when they met at a wedding in 2019. Ruch also said Cuomo put his hand on her bare lower back. A picture from the even showed Cuomo with his hands on Ruch's cheeks.

"You can find hundreds of pictures of me making the same gesture with hundreds of people, women, men, children, etc.," Cuomo told reporters. "You can go find hundreds of pictures of me kissing people. Men, women, it is my usual and customary way of greeting."

Ruch's allegations came out after former Cuomo staffers Lindsey Boylan and Charlotte Bennett alleged that Cuomo acted inappropriately. Boylan said the governor kissed her on the lips without permission and once suggested they play strip poker while aboard a flight. Bennett told the New York Times Cuomo had asked her about her sex life and gave the impression that he "wanted to sleep with me."

Cuomo denied Boylan's allegations but apologized after Bennett and Ruch came forward.

"I now understand that I acted in a way that made people feel uncomfortable. It was unintentional and I truly and deeply apologize for it," Cuomo said. "I feel awful about it and frankly I am embarrassed by it."

Since then, several other women have come forward with allegations against Cuomo, the most serious of which coming from an unidentified current member of his administration who reportedly claimed he invited her to the governor’s mansion to help with a cellphone problem then reached under her blouse and groped her. Cuomo’s office has denied this allegation.

Biden has also been accused of more serious misconduct, as Tara Reade claims he sexually assaulted her in 1993 when he was a senator and she was a member of his staff. Biden has denied that this ever happened.

Cuomo now faces pressure to step down from office, as state lawmakers, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, and Sens. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., have called on him to resign.

Biden would not join them, instead telling reporters Sunday that people should wait for the findings from the New York attorney general's investigation.

"I think the investigation is underway and we should see what it brings us," the president said.

When you have the President wanting to play .25 Peep Show and "see what it brings us"...just ewwww. YUCK!

The good news is that VP Kneepads and Creepy Joe aren't backing away from Cuomo. He's got to love that! Even while his office is a ghost town with nobody showing up to do any work and the rest of the NY political machine is grinding him and Fredo into sausage.
