Oh boy....AOC and Kamala Harris are now joining the ‘me too’ chorus that is calling on NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo to resign over sexual harassment allegations.
And isn’t it interesting how New York democrats had all of these allegations ‘locked and loaded’ ...to be used at the exact moment that they wanted Cuomo out of office.
Isn’t it interesting that- after his terrible, and maybe even criminal- covid-19 response was exposed and put him in political trouble?
Isn’t it interesting that some NY democrats rushed to deliver the ‘death blow’ to his political career. And it came in the form of sexual harassment claims that -clearly- had been held for this exact moment?
As in: if his covid-19 screw ups aren’t enough to force him out of office and out of today’s democrat party- the pious preening of the ‘me too’ movement will.
Folks-this is all way too convenient.
I’ve talked about how Andrew Cuomo was more of a traditional liberal and traditional democrat.
Cuomo has supported some very ‘progressive’ things, like his idiotic ‘no bail’ policy, but for the most part, he has been a more traditional democrat and has had to play more of a ‘restraining role’ on the NY democrat party.
He has blocked or dismissed any number of things that the more rabid socialists in NY, like AOC, have wanted to see done.
And so here’s their chance to take him out: scrub the party of another old-school traditional liberal whom they see as only an obstructionist.
This is what this controversy over Cuomo hiding the official covid-19 death rates has turned into: an effort by the socialists to purge him from the party.
And they are reverting back to a familiar and powerful tool: claims of sexual harassment.
And I’m not saying they didn’t occur, or that his accusers are making it up.
I’m not saying that. I’m just noting how convenient it is that all of these charges seemed ‘locked and loaded’ and ready to go-the minute Cuomo’s approval numbers showed weakness and the NY democrats who hate him could use it against him.
Over the last several days, two women have accused Cuomo of sexual harassment in the work place, and now the pile on has begun: even Kammy and AOC say-Cuomo must be held accountable.
Folks-our president- Joe Biden- had very credible claims of unwanted touching and sniffing leveled against him, and even a very credible and serious charge of unwanted insertion...
Essentially rape...lodged against him, and these same women excused or ignored the story, including Kamala Harris and AOC.
Joe Biden-their president-has been accused of more serious behavior than Cuomo is being accused of.
And so you see how selective hypocritical democrats are.
Cuomo quickly had a second former staffer make similar claims.
Well Biden did. Rubbing, touching, sniffing-and in the case of alleged sexual assault: physically pinning a woman up against a wall and forcing his fingers into her.
Biden’s actions were worse than Cuomo’s here.
Again-no forced insertion. No claim of digital rape. These are allegations that should be taken seriously, of course, but the very same women and women’s groups ignored worse allegations lodged against Joe Biden.
Why?
This 25 year old accuser says Cuomo, at 63, made her feel really uncomfortable, as you can imagine, with that huge age difference.
And as you can imagine, NY republicans are insisting democrats live up to their own rhetoric.
Elise Stefanik, a republican congresswoman from New York, said...Cuomo has to resign...quote...Gov. Cuomo is a criminal sexual predator and must resign immediately’...she said.
I disagree with that. I don’t see anything criminal in his actions, even if they were totally inappropriate for the workplace and sexually harassing in any situation.
The ‘criminal sexual predator’ is actually the grandfatherly old guy sitting in the white house...who democrats refuse to hold accountable for his decades of creepy behavior.
And the only reason they are going after Cuomo now is that they smell political blood in the water. He’s a more traditional democrat who today’s socialists want to force out of the party.
After all...Cuomo’s name has been mentioned as presidential material, and the last thing the young socialist crowd needs is more fifty and sixty something democrats clogging the path to the white house and denying their candidates the presidency-and the real power to force socialism onto this country.
And of course the NY Times is complicit.
This seemed to be a ‘shocker’ this weekend: the NY Times is detailing the harassment claims against Cuomo and ...see? See? They’re fair. They go after both sides.
Wrong.
The activist democrat accomplices at the times seemed fine with Cuomo...for years. They only seem to have a problem with him now that the larger effort to force him out of the party in favor of a more socialist progressive leader is in full swing.
This is the NY Times aiding in the political cleansing going on their own side of the aisle.
This isn’t the times ‘providing fair and unbiased’ coverage.
They covered for Cuomo for years. Including over the last year as he was lying about those nursing home death totals.
Then, their activist masters decided Cuomo needed to be ‘canceled’. And everything about their coverage of Cuomo changed.
Oh-and speaking of cancel culture, did you see that the host of the bachelor TV show is being canceled?
And he is-simply for trying to clarify some sentiments expressed by a contestant.
