There’s a frequently recurring narrative that plays out when a public figure is accused of sexual harassment: a chorus of defenders inevitably emerges to assert that the accused is actually a nice guy, historically respectful of women, and where applicable, has daughters who don’t appear to loathe him. Some of these defenders point out that the accused treated them well and never harassed them personally, as if that detracts from the credibility of the allegations.
When two former staffers accused New York’s governor, Andrew Cuomo, of sexual harassment in February, this ritual chorus of defenders was nowhere to be found.

Partially because toadies like the NY Slimes cover it up and make excuses for offenders. Tell me: Do you believe Tara Reade?

This article took chutzpah. This pathetic paper has covered up for this bully for years simply because he had a D after his name. What useless people must work at this rag.

I won't click the link I don't want to give the Slimes a click, but why should this surprise any one. democRATs play by different rules, if there is any doubt don't forget the old rapist-in-chief peyronies, bill clinton.

The beauty of the Cuomo saga is that he's pivoted the nursing home death scandal into a simple sex scandal, which leaves room for him to re-emerge later, excused as his being soooo hypermasculine and sexy (his PR folks used to trot out fake women proclaiming themselves to be Cuomosexuals). Former NJ governor Jim McGreevy did the same thing; he had his gay Israeli boytoy heading up NJ's homeland security department, despite no experience other than removing his trousers, among other scandals, and he got away with it after getting caught cruising highway rest stop toilets, after which he tearfully resigned office as a victimized hero because NJ was not ready for a "Gay American" governor. These DemocRATS know every trick in the book, and they get away with it every time.

This is simply the initial move to get him out of the way before installing the Mooch in Horizontal Harris' place. He got away for so long like any other Liberal Democrat does. Now it is time for him to join others under the bus.. Also, it is a warning to the Beast - we have enough stuff on you, so don't even THINK about looking in this direction.

I can't access the NY Times. (Excuse me for bragging.) But I really don't expect any revelations about Cuomo from writers who spent a year fictionalizing "The Women Who Have Accused Brett Kavanaugh".

Because Liberal journalists have been complicit in covering up for Cuomo.

I think that the left is going after Cuomo now because something else bigger and much worse is coming down the pike and they want him out of the way before it blows up. That way, they can say, “No big deal. We already got rid of him.”
My guess is some video filmed at Epstein’s Pedophile Island will come out during the Maxwell trial.

The NYT is one of the biggest reasons he got away with it for so long.

Cuomo is not becoming the gone boy because he harassed women of the free sex world; the dems have something better in mind; they've moved on from Cuomo. It's his turn to be destroyed by the beast, and I don't mean hitlery.

And he’s going to keep getting away with it. His mentor Bill Clinton is still getting away with it. Nothing is going to happen to him. Zero. He will pay some hush money and it will all go away. That’s how it works.

It certainly appears that the Democrat/Left/media powers that be are lined up against Cuomo, all of a sudden. He may want to consider his options, and choose wisely. Forget Fredo. He may end up like Santino on the causeway.
Which would indeed be a shame.

He’s a slime ball, but at least there were no reports of inappropriate behavior with kids. Where’s the outrage over the pedo in the WH?

He got away with it because far left minions like the New York Times looked the other way, and instead boosted him and presented him as a hero.

But how about Biden touching, smelling, and pinching young girls and women? If you believe Tara Reade's account of her having been molested by Biden inside the US Capitol building, you have a first degree sexual assault right there, and of course the leftist Democrats have been yelling that women must be believed in those sorts of sexual assaults. But Biden up to today has been protected by the Democrats and the media, so there has to be a reason for Cuomo being piled onto by the Democrats, as it looks like the Democrats want Cuomo out of their political future ASAP, maybe the NY AG Leticia James wants Cuomo’s job?
