When the allegations against Andrew Cuomo first started coming in

[no_hypocrisy]

a while ago, I figured Trump set this up. Trump would want another governor who could work behind-the-scenes and either get rid of the charges or pardon him outright if convicted. Another Al Franken hatchet job.

But more and more women came forward.

And Letitia James, the NYAG, who was selected by Cuomo, campaigned with him, elected with his help, found evidence of widespread sexual harassment yesterday. She was beyond impartial; she arose above politics and chauvinism.

This is larger than Trump. Even if it did start out that way, it's so pervasive that it doesn't matter as much, if at all.

And Cuomo's defense of being affectionately Italian doesn't come off as convincing. Maybe he is/was, but he also has another side. He is not Leo Buscaglia. ("Love is always bestowed as a gift - freely, willingly and without expectation. We don't love to be loved; we love to love." )

There is something to wisdom of knowing when it's time to leave.

1. I am tired of Democrats handing ammunition to our political enemies

[samplegirl]

2. I feel the same

Let’s worry about the GOP sexual predators first!

[ariadne0614]

4. And I'm tired of misogynist authoritarians regardless of party.

IMHO, this situation is not at all the same as the Al Franken debacle. If Democrats fail to hold Cuomo accountable, then we would be handing our political enemies two of their favorite weapons--"Democrats are hypocrites," and "both sides do it."

10. ☝️Tired of all these powerful creeps

17. Power is exactly it

This isn’t about sex, it’s about power an establishing dominance by groping at will.

7. Cuomo is the one handing out ammunition, and it's not an issue if Democrats hold him accountable.

[Walleye]

9. Yes, Cuomo, handing out ammunition that's what I meant

He didn’t have to act like a creep. I think he should resign. They will still use it against us and use it to excuse Trump

[WhiskeyGrinder]

12. Just clarifying for the audience, as I've seen some people STILL annoyed that Democrats feel he

should be held accountable.

[Walleye]

13. Yes, when I was young almost every woman who worked with powerful men had to put up with this kind o

Kind of thing. I experienced it, most everybody I know did. we just didn’t talk about it. You didn’t have to be pretty you only had to be young. They had to try it on every damn time. Not every man, of course, most were very civilized. But they didn’t believe the other men are capable of it, so they were complicit.I don’t know how it is now, I hope it’s better

15. Thanks for clarifying--

I misunderstood your OP.

5. I really hope you just forgot the sarcasm thingie.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

6. I encourage you to read the report. There wasn't even a good working relationship in the office.

[Treefrog]

8. Thank you.

It was toxic as hell.

Amazing to learn someone here thinks touching women without their consent is part of “ a good working relationship.”

[femmedem]

11. Seriously? You think most managers reach under their assistant's blouse to grab their breasts?

I hope you wrote that because you aren't fully aware of the report's findings.

[Ligyron]

14. I do not think all these women are lying and he needs to go but...

Isn’t it interesting how the MSM will roast a Democrat as a distraction from GOP malfeasance every chance they get?

Knowing the Democrats will gladly throw their own to the wolves without due process of any kind whatsoever.

The republican party is so far ahead of us in strategy and tactics, not to mention money, that it’s no wonder we’re ruled by a minority. Irony of ironies, They turn our good nature and desire for fairness into a weapon to destroy us and do so pretty effectively.

20. +1. Some people are so ready to equate him with sex traffickers and child rapists

[dalton99a]

18. Cuomo seems to be a stupid boss and an arrogant asshole.

But let the people decide.

[Walleye]

19. He should at least try to fake a little humility

[PJMcK]

21. It's time for Governor Cuomo to negotiate his departure

"Go while the going is good.
Knowing when to leave may be the smartest thing that anyone can learn.
Go."

Bachrach & David: "Knowing When To Leave" from the musical, "Promises, Promises"

It's really a sort of anti-love song but the sentiment of these opening lyrics applies to the NY governor.

22. As soon as Cuomo is run out of office is the State of Ohio going after Gym Jordan?

Those allegations have been around longer than the Cuomo allegations and have people that would testify.

Nah....he's a Republican like that POS Trump and therefore NO investigations will be coming.
