I won't include links becaust this sotry is all ovoer the place, pushing the CPAC confrenece off the lead news story place.
IMHO this should be investigated, and if guilty, Cuomo should be punished.
Sadly, too many Dems are making excuses for Cuomo, and playing the What About game by saying that Trump was worse.
That is true, but that does no excuse Cumomo if guilty. Between this and the Nursing Home
scandle I feel I have been sold a bill of goods on Cuomo as a great leader.
Same standards should apply across the board. TO have a double standard is the rankest hypocrisy.
 
I think there’s a circumstance when you should rationalize early pandemic decisions considering how chaotic things were at the time, but he should at least resign for covering up COVID deaths. That’s pretty ******.

If this is about the sexual harassment stuff I haven’t been following that.
 
Will he win a second Emmy award for his ability to lie about sexual harassment claims while on television?

Did Trump resign? If not then where is the 'double standard'?

Who was selling that?

LOL! Probably his brother on CNN.

This is one of the reasons why I can't watch CNN. I hate both of them, and it is really bad form for a news agency to allow a brother to interview the other and then do that fake ribbing about who mummy loved best.

Ridiculous.

You mean the guy that slashed public health spending leaving many communities completely unequipped to handle much of anything?

YEs, he gave better daily updates than Dolt 45 - and I'll even agree that he was giving what, as I recall, was the best known general info at the time, which is the actual bar, rather than the one set by Captain Bleachdrinker.

That's about all I'll give him. And yes, the harassment charges should be investigated - I haven't seen anyone go to bat for him, but I'll admit I know full well how his patronage schemes work, and not being in New York I don't know who in state/local politics is going to bat for him, so I'll take your word on it. But not many people are saints, and he was never one.

*shrugs*

Wow. Cherry-picked off a comedy show from over a year ago, before Cuomo showed FAR more presidenting skillz than T****.

Doesn't mean Cuomo is pure as the driven snow. Just that he is actually competent at being a governor in a crisis.

Big call. Nearly 50,000 NYC residents died (oh, not counting the dead of covid aged care residents deliberately not counted).

He deserves to go right now.
 
That right wing creeps are adored and worshipped by their flock doesn't give Democrats a pass, obviously.

This being said, I actually don't see Cuomo getting a pass.
The story was broken by the NYT, also reported by the WAPO. I've seen quite a number of New York State and New York City democrats in office calling for Cuomo's resignation or for a real investigation.

Remember when Fox broke a Trump scandal? When many Republicans called for Trump to resign or be investigated for it? Neither do I.

So yes, Cuomo should get no pass, but the Republicans and their apologists really should sit this one out.

Just for the record (again) I’m not a Republican nor a conservative. But I’m happy to call out bad behaviour on my side of the political spectrum.

At the time, nobody was doing it better. And he had an uphill battle with the T**** Team in DC as they deliberately failed to cooperate, and tried to undermine and sabotage any of Cuomo's efforts at every turn. Oh, they tried to pretend they were helping. But really they wanted him to fail, by hook or by crook.

He deserves to go right now.

If he has done something worth being sacked for, sure. And if it was criminal, prosecute away. But before that, perhaps we might like to find out IF and WHY he did the nefarious things he is accused of.

Which scandal are you talking about? The allegations that he's sexually predatory or that he was cooking the books on covid deaths in his state?

Or not, time will tell.

NY AG Letitia James:
We expect to receive a referral with subpoena power to investigate allegations of sexual harassment against the governor, in line with our demands and New York state law.

The referral would be made solely to the attorney general's office.

his is not a responsibility we take lightly.

We will hire a law firm, deputize them as attorneys of our office, and oversee a rigorous and independent investigation.

NY Senator Kirsten Gillibrand:
The allegations of sexual harassment by Gov. Cuomo are serious and deeply concerning. As requested by @NewYorkStateAG, the matter should be referred to her office so that she can conduct a transparent, independent and thorough investigation with subpoena power.

NY Rep. Nadler:
The recent allegations of sexual harassment against Governor Cuomo are deeply troubling and deserve a thorough investigation. It must be transparent, impartial, and above all else, independent. As has become standard pratice in the State of New York when allegations relate directly to the Executive, Governor Cuomo should refer the matter to the Attorney General, who should, in turn, appoint an independent investigator.

And, least surprising obviously, NYC Mayor De Blasio:
New Yorkers have seen detailed, documented accounts of sexual harassment, multiple instances of intimidation, and the admitted withholding of information on the deaths of over 15,000 people.
Questions of this magnitude cannot hang over the heads of New Yorkers as we fight off a pandemic and economic crisis. It’s clear what must now take place.

The State legislature must immediately revoke the Governor’s emergency powers that overrule local control.

Two fully independent investigations must be held immediately into the deaths at nursing homes and the disturbing personal misconduct allegations. Precedence shows that investigations of the Governor must be completely independent of his office.

The investigation into nursing home deaths must be free to examine campaign contributions from the nursing home industry. And the investigation into sexual misconduct must be led by someone fully independent of the governor, not the former business partner of the Governor’s top advisor.

Seems the accusations of sexual harassment have a lot more legs than the story of him deliberately concealing covid deaths in nursing facilities.

Honestly perplexed that Trump style covid-denialism isn't more of a scandal. Cuomo originally ordered that nursing homes accept covid positive patients during the earlier hospital capacity crisis, then seemed to be hiding the resulting boom of covid deaths in these facilities.

About two weeks ago, the state’s attorney general, Letitia James, accused the Cuomo administration of severely undercounting those deaths connected to nursing homes. Hours later, the state updated those numbers, adding thousands of deaths to the official tally. Since then, a court order has resulted in more updates, further increasing the number of deaths.

Ms. James’s assertion of an undercount of total deaths of nursing home residents fueled accusations that the Cuomo administration may have artificially depressed the number of those deaths to try to deflect blame for a policy set early in the pandemic: sending nursing home residents who had been hospitalized with the coronavirus back to the nursing homes.

The guy has been corrupt since day one. He has shut down investigations once they got to close to him.

Remember when Trump assaulted all those women while in office? Me neither.
