Cuomo just needs to keep his mouth shut for a couple of months, and he will be fine.
Well, that could be - but it's also likely that he won't run for re-election, which is a face-saving gesture.

This author seems to think its a combination of cover for his mistakes and the belief of the Democrats that sexual harrassment is a worse crime than murdering old people.


"...Democrats generally appeared willing to ride out the storm of the nursing home scandal. It was not until the issue of sexual harassment emerged that the message of resignation began to amplify. Now, there is talk of impeachment. Cuomo insists there is “no way” he steps down. Thus, there are two possibilities. Either Democrats and the left find sexual harassment a greater sin than the slaughter of senior citizens, or they waited until those allegations arose to oust Cuomo, using them to save institutional face for nursing home deaths.


The reality is probably a mixture of the two. Still, the answer, in any case, is nevertheless the same: American elites, in politics and media, are beholden to a morally bankrupt, deranged worldview incapable of prioritizing human life. Cuomo’s critics who held back until the sexual misconduct allegations to attack him for the nursing home scandal are just as bound to it as the ideologues. In a very real, now fatal sense, it prevents them from governing and compels them to live by lies.

Of course, it’s not presented as such, but rather it is draped in slogans of equality, inclusivity, and virtue. But these are all “external ornaments,” as Rousseau put it, designed to conceal the hideous face of a ruling class that seldom lives up to the maxims it professes."

Because bird's of a feather flock together and the rat's are abandoning ship because they don't want to drown with him.

The left knows Cuomo's policies led to thousands of deaths. They would rather him go down for sexual harassment then be held accountable for his nursing homes fiasco, since the government has found a way to control the population via shutdowns of businesses.

I’m glad Cuomo is hanging on. Every day he remains he does the country a great service by exposing liberals for the pathological liars and hypocrites they are.

This was known for quite some time. Why do you think Andy was not offered anything in the Biden administration? I am no fan of Andy but this does scream of something foul. I am as conservative as they come. All of a sudden one afetr another come out of the wood work. It's the Democrats sacrificing one of their own. There is a reason. We just don't know why. It would not shock me if Obama and Kamala have their fingerprints all over this!

I'm no fan of Cuomo and they are welcome to go after him in whatever way they choose...

Speaking of horizontal Harris, she’s a good example to sleeping your way to the top, when it suits one’s purposes.
