(11,987 posts)The treatment of women? Bye bye.
Sympthsical
(10,402 posts)His policy killed people unnecessarily. Then they lied about it. Then he threatened to destroy an Asian American representative for not lying about it.
He should done for that alone.
The harassment is just the icing on this shit cake for me.

(91,998 posts)... clean on the investigations he's whooping some kGQP azz.
All kGQP feel women are more beatable than men, I'd rather not take that chance

(96,882 posts)Replacing Cuomo with Hochel NOW would give her the opportunity to raise her profile.

(757 posts)even the nursing home incident. If Trump had acted early there would be a lot of people still alive.

(11,987 posts)What a low standard we have for ourselves now.
Raine
(30,634 posts)not some low bar that they're not as bad, that's disgusting!
mvd
(65,531 posts)But how do we know they are credible until the investigation? Something seems weird here. Yes, Cuomos behavior may have been worse than Frankens, but Repukes would surely not be calling for resignation before investigation.

(91,998 posts)... benefit of process than is given Cuomo and Trump admitted to be a sexual predator on a recording!!
DBoon
(23,171 posts)I would think about it.
This is clearly a hit job against blue state governors who exercised their authority in a pandemic to save lives.

(23,171 posts)otherwise this is a pure partisan attack meant to destroy strong competent democratic leaders
What of the people who needlessly died of Covid in states run by republicans who refused to follow basic medical advice? We have over 500,000 corpses due to the deliberate negligence of republican governance. Nobody has been held to account for this.

(29,233 posts)Or - women only matter when they have been harassed and assaulted by Republicans.
uponit7771
(91,998 posts)... folk know there's some bullshit going on and tryna get Cuomo out of office before the gig is up.
We've been here before with Biden and Franken, the right thing to do is wait for the investigations to be complete
DBoon
(23,171 posts)Democratic politicians who try to save lives deserve to be destroyed to prevent them from having any influence on the national stage and to discredit the democratic response to the worst pandemic in 100 years.
Maru Kitteh
(29,233 posts)Got it. Women only deserve to be heard, support, dignity when they are assaulted by Republicans.

(91,998 posts)Maru Kitteh
(29,233 posts)His chosen course of action, dragging this out to the bitter end will do nothing good for anyone at all. Democrats, Cuomo, the public, his family, the women, . . . all lose.
uponit7771
(91,998 posts)... from investigations historically.
Do you have anything else that has proven to work? thx in advance
George II
(67,782 posts)To use your frame of reference in this, "so Andrew Cuomo doesn't matter".
tritsofme
(18,709 posts)The accusers have been largely Democratic women.
Cuomo has made his own bed, and his actions suggest he is much less strong and competent than you claim.
uponit7771
(91,998 posts)... and the rest of the outlets seem to be chasing ratings for some damn reason.
HR1 is getting less cycles than Cuomo, that's disappointing
Elessar Zappa
(16,082 posts)I would probably resign if I were him. However I believe hes entitled to a full investigation if thats what he wants.
Beringia
(4,655 posts)He might be throwing the dice if he knows they are true but wants to see how it plays out.
Maru Kitteh
(29,233 posts)MustLoveBeagles
(12,694 posts)If the investigation corroborates the what the accusers said then he should resign. If not he should stay. This smells of a political hit job to me but I'm willing to see how this plays out.
a kennedy
(32,324 posts)thats right.......the most damaging photo or evidence was A FAKE PHOTO OF AL FAKE touching a womans boobs. and he resigned. This is so different with Coumo..... just sick about it.
Polybius
(18,368 posts)If not, impeach and remove.
hamsterjill
(15,525 posts)I want a full investigation which, as an American citizen, is his right. Im sick to death of this whole issue.
Im sick that women feel they have to wait years to come forward because they fear retaliation, and Im sick that some have cried wolf and thus made real victims subject to suspicion.
But something about all of this just smells bad to me. Some of what these women have complained of was not considered bad behavior at the time it happened. Does that make it right? No...but social rules change and need to be part of the discussion.
Let the investigation proceed and give Andrew his basic rights.
Hortensis
(58,785 posts)But of COURSE there should be investigation into the claims even if he were to resign before. One accuses him of "grooming" her for victimization as sexual predators do children.
