Basically, Cuomo sexually harassed multiple women, engaged in retribution against at least one person, and created a hostile, fear-based environment.
https://www.cnbc.com/2021/08/03/ny-gov-andrew-cuomo-sexual-harassment-report.html
Let's see how quickly this goes away.
-
Depends on how many news outlets actually cover the story.
-
Only a bombshell to some people.
-
Haven't we known this for months?
-
Right now it's basically a huge banner headline on CNN.com, same with https://www.foxnews.com/
It's prominent on the top line at MSNBC.com.
Something of a miracle, I think, that CNN and MSNBC are covering it so prominently.
I wonder how much fuel this is going to give to the NY legislature's impeachment committee.
-
Yeah, we've known about the allegations for months.
But now it's codified by the state attorney general, who is also a Democrat.
Given how many Democrats in the legislature turned on him when these allegations started coming out I think it's going to get even tougher for him to pull a Northam.

I wonder what cuomo did to piss off the liberal elite . . . .

He's been at war with a pretty big chunk of his party for some months now. A lot of it stemmed from Cuomo's willful under reporting of the number of people he murdered with his COVID nursing home policies, which went into a multi-pronged dispute with Ron Kim.

Someone please hack NY AGs personal emails. Chance of this being coordinated like a destroyer laying smoke in front of a battleship to cover for the big guy is greater than zero.

Good thinking. May be true, maybe not, but either way, good thinking You related to that Patton guy?
I may be deluding myself, but I think I'm beginning to see some cracks in the clay feet of the Dem party. Just kind of here and there, not enough to assemble into a theory.
It's as if enough of the Rationals are beginning to resent the excesses and abuses of the hyperliberal elements of the party. They are perhaps ready to challenge the eisenfaust of the party core... whoever that is.
Nah. I've been wrong before.

ETA Not being a gamer, I didn't realize that "eisenfaust" was a gamer term. I just used it in its German sense of "iron fist," without reference to the game. Perhaps geltenfaust would have been more apt.

It'll be gone in a week or two... Or they will announce that he's really a Republican, and a friend of Trump, and charge him with murder.

I thought there were at least 5 Dem controlled states that deliberately put COVID patients in with elderly people. Michigan was one other.

He must of worn out his usefulness to the Dem machine. Wonder what he has on Hillary?

I reckon there's a little usefulness left. If the dems hang him, they'll be able to use him as a, "See - we go after people even if they're dems" example for a long while. He'll be brought up every time an R gets Kavanaughed.

It does clear the deck to attack Desantis as it is awkward to do so while defending the gov of the state Desantis got all his population from. The left is terrified of him. Trump without being Trump which is what I think is needed.

Isn't Cuomo doing nearly the same thing that we have all watched Biden do, even to underage females? So why are they going after him and not Biden?
OH - that's right. "Double standards" again. My bad - I forget. :facepalm:

Nothing.

"HOW THE CUOMO BROTHERS BETRAYED AMERICA"
https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/biden-calls-andrew-cuomo-resign-he-s-not-only-cuomo-n1275856
Jesus, when you've lost MSNBC, you're cooked. Absolutely cooked.
Yes, it's an opinion piece, but as I said, it's top left on MSNBC's web page this morning. HUGE visibility.
-
Might as well go ahead and get this started
Cuomo did not kill himself

I wish that article had comments. I would love to read how MSNBC's liberal viewers reacted to that.

I'm picturing someone looking down at their Cuomo/Fauci socks then back up and the screen with a single tear running down their cheek.

Most are rudder less sail boats and go in whatever direction the Dem machine and MSM winds blow them.

The Manhattan and Westchester County district attorneys have formally requested evidence from the state attorney general's investigation so they can open their own criminal probes.
Oops.

It's hard to imagine that a lifelong politician and a lifelong journalist would turn out to be horrible people.
What is this world coming to?
-
Why now? Yes, it's wrong and there should be consequences, when it happened. I just heard a recorded clip on the news of him propositioning an employee on the phone, so it's not like there wasn't evidence back then. Is our political system so inherently corrupt that it only goes after people when it becomes national news? I guess the answer is yes since sometimes the system still ignores violations after it becomes national news. I guess Orwell was right, some people are more equal than others. I'm feeling particularly cynical today, and that's saying something.

Chris Cuomo Reports Slow News Day
https://babylonbee.com/news/chris-cuomo-reports-slow-news-day
(https://media.babylonbee.com/articles/article-9184-1.jpg)
According to reports, the news-free prime time hour received the highest ratings in the history of the show. CNN has said they will now experiment just filling the screen with white noise next week to see if it does even better.
-
And one of Cuomo's victims... er... ALLEGED victims... but a victim... has just filed a criminal complaint against him.
-
All women must be believed

Yep, as soon as he forgets the dirt he's got on the clintons . . . .
Hasn't he already passed that point? :facepalm:

https://twitchy.com/gregp-3534/2021/08/06/dem-az-state-sen-tony-navarrete-arrested-on-suspicion-of-sexual-conduct-with-a-minor/
All 48 Democrats in the Legislature called for Navarrete to resign his seat, which covers a broad swath of west-central Phoenix and parts of Glendale.
[Dons conspiracy theory hat]Is it just a coincidence that the Dems can use a small fry state political hack to throw under the bus as a way of showing how righteous they are with respect to pervs in the ranks, while ignoring the big man in the casa blanca?[doffs conspiracy theory hat]
-
Once again I remind the class that this sexual harassment bullshit is a distraction to keep people from going after him for killing all the elderly in nursing homes via plague bearers. But do please keep talking about him getting gropey while saying nothing about the deaths. (HINT: YOU'RE DOING WHAT THEY WANT, BEING DISTRACTED!)

Cuomo just announced that he will resign in 2 weeks.
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/former-fed-prosecutor-recalls-cuomo-efforts-thwart-corruption-probe
That article also recounts how he attempted to get a Federal prosecutor to back off on a corruption probe...
Wait... are we talking about Cuomo or Trump?
Must be talking about Trump, because we know only Trump is evil incarnate... :rofl:
-
And his attorney is crying withering crocodile tears about Cuomo being "convicted by the media."
Shoe's on the other foot, I guess, and it's size MAGA....

But not actually out yet
Cuomo's departure from office, which will take effect in 14 days,
Gives time for the spin team to try and come up with something

Actually it's Trump's fault as Cuomo was just following in his footsteps.

Way to come in slightly behind the times... :rofl:
-
I give it another 14 days after his resignation before the MSM starts talking about what an ethical guy he was for resigning, and why didn't Trump resign?
-
14 days?
I give it no more than 24 hours before CNMSNBC start his political rehabilitation.
-
Will he end up as an on-air expert for one of the news media?
-
No. Democratic nominee for President in 2024.

Good job Brownie, 2021 edition. Gaffomatic president says gov did hell of a good job.
-
It will be the Coumo and Coumo clown show on CNN to give him free press going into 2024.

I want to know who promised him what in exchange for his resignation.

Wouldn't put it pass him
Could Andrew Cuomo pardon himself before leaving office?
There have been a handful of instances in which governors have pardoned themselves

Can't do that, might accidentally kill the distraction and then people might go back to talking about his homicides.

That's exactly what this is.
I'd like to see him get 6 months in jail for manslaughter or negligent homicide or whatever they call in it NY for *each* of the thousands of oldsters he killed. Consecutively. And a $10000 fine for falsifying the records.

Add to that anyone complicit with his actions gets the same treatment.
