Cuomo: ‘I’m not going to resign. I never harassed anyone’
Quote
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is under growing pressure to step down after allegations of inappropriate behavior. New York Sens. Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand have said he should resign.


Someone once accused me of sexual harassment in college and I hadn't said a single word to any of the other students the entire time I was there in the class the college counselor said the harassment occurred in. I was so offended by the experience that I never attended any college courses after that. Schumer, Gillibrand, AOC, and others, don't believe in "innocent until proven guilty" apparently?

Our enemies used to complain that the only reason why leftists did not believe the sexual harassment allegations against Emmett Till was because Till was "black". Now they are complaining that leftists are not believing the sexual harassment allegations against Cuomo either:

Quote
From PoliticsNY (emphasis ours):

“It’s really unfortunate that the death of thousands of New Yorkers [in the nursing home scandal] had to take a back seat of allegations from white women. That the history of white women allegations is still given number one preference over anything,” said the source.

On the other hand, we believe all sexual harassment allegations against Trump. After all, Trump himself admitted to them.

0:10 - “Ogle her body, remark on her looks, and make suggestive comments” could literally mean he looked at her and said “You look nice today.” The lack of detail in these allegations makes them sound very trivial.

It's ridiculous to demand he should resign until he is properly investigated. That is not how justice should work. Give him the opportunity to exonerate himself. That's justice!

What I don't understand is, why are these," allegations," being sent now? Why  not when it actually happened? I'm not saying Cuomo is not guilty, but it just seems a little suspicious that they wait until now to make the claims.

Kat Timpf: There are so many investigations into Cuomo, he has to go


In Western civilization "innocent until proven guilty" is something Westerners just pay lip-service to, they obviously do not believe in it themselves. In Western civilization all you need is a slew of accusations and an investigation against you to be proven guilty.

The only time I've ever called the Police for myself is when someone made a false accusation against me. I made sure the truth got put down in writing and put into record, for the very reason I stated above!

Did I mention all Westerners are repulsive people who should be stopped from reproducing!?

And, look who else just crawled out of the wood work to weigh in on the Cuomo situation:

Dems holding Gov. Cuomo accountable reestablishes culture of accountability: Emanuel


Interesting comments:
Quote
They’re not holding him accountable, they’re conveniently throwing him overboard because he’s no longer an asset to the Democrats.
Quote
We already have a "culture of accountability" it's called the legal system.
Quote
How have the Dems 're-established' a culture that could be taken back over by the unaccountable GOP at any time?

Quote
Bipartisanship… thats over, the left is so far gone. No thanks. Don’t care what you have to say.
Why would you want "bipartisanship" with insurrectionists?

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo announces his resignation
Quote
This comes one week after the state AG said the governor "engaged in conduct constituting sexual harassment."

Time's Up Leader CAUGHT Helping Andrew Cuomo
Quote
"The fallout from a damaging report that found Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo sexually harassed 11 women widened on Monday when Roberta A. Kaplan, a nationally prominent lawyer with ties to the governor, resigned from Time’s Up, the organization founded by Hollywood women to fight sexual abuse and promote gender equality."


Quote
Roberta Ann Kaplan (born 1966) is an American lawyer focusing on commercial litigation and public interest matters. She co-founded the Time's Up Legal Defense Fund and is an adjunct professor of law at Columbia University Law School.[1] She was a partner at Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison before starting her own firm in 2017.

Kaplan successfully argued before the Supreme Court of the United States on behalf of LGBT rights activist Edith Windsor, in United States v. Windsor, a landmark decision that invalidated a section of the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act and required the federal government to recognize same-sex marriages.
Quote
A native of Cleveland, Ohio, Roberta Kaplan grew up in a Jewish household.[2] She graduated from Hawken School in Gates Mills, Ohio, in 1984. LGBT scholar and activist Aaron Belkin was Kaplan's high school friend and prom date.[3] She earned an B.A. in Russian history and literature from Harvard University in 1988. While in college she spent a semester abroad in Moscow and "discovered a passion for political activism when she became active in the movement to free Soviet Jewry".[4] She received her J.D. from Columbia Law School in 1991.[5]
Quote
Time's Up

In 2018, Kaplan co-founded the Time's Up Legal Defense Fund with Tina Tchen.[9] The fund has raised more than $24 million to provide legal defense for sexual violence victims, especially those who experienced misconduct in the workplace and led 780 attorneys and 50 cases under way.[10][11] In 2019, the pair later co-founded HABIT, an anti-sexual harassment advisory.[10]

On August 9, 2021, Kaplan resigned from her role as chairwoman of Time's Up, after she was named in the report released on August 3, 2021 by New York Attorney General Letitia James that followed the investigation of sexual harassment allegations against New York Governor Andrew Cuomo,[12][13][14] and after an open letter from a group of former Time's Up staffers and clients to the board of Time's Up was published.[15][16]

E. Jean Carroll defamation lawsuit

Main article: Donald Trump sexual misconduct allegations § E. Jean Carroll (1995 or 1996)

Kaplan represents writer E. Jean Carroll, who filed a defamation lawsuit against Trump on November 4, 2019. According to the Washington Post, Kaplan "said she intends to prove that Trump acted with 'malice,' meaning that he knew his statements were false or showed reckless disregard for the truth."[23]

The lawsuit was moved from state to federal court when the US Department of Justice moved to take over Trump's defense (a motion that was denied in October 2020.)[24] Kaplan said she welcomed pursuing the lawsuit in federal court.[24] Although the Department of Justice appealed that decision, Kaplan told reporters, "we are confident that the Second Circuit will affirm the District Court’s comprehensive and well-reasoned opinion."[25]
Quote
Mary Trump v. Donald Trump et al.

On September 24, 2020, Kaplan and her firm filed a lawsuit with the New York Supreme Court in Manhattan, on behalf of plaintiff Mary L. Trump, accusing President Donald J. Trump and his siblings, Maryanne Trump Barry and Robert Trump, of decades of financial fraud and civil conspiracy.[26][9]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roberta_Kaplan

Well, according to U.S. law Cuomo is still innocent. Sounds like Kaplan must really believe Cuomo is innocent as well, no?

Cuomo has resigned, but Kavanaugh has not. Regardless of what really happened in each case, Cuomo at least has the elementary respect for his office to voluntarily prevent it from being tainted by suspicion, whereas the same cannot be said of Kavanaugh. Here is Cuomo on Kavanaugh from a while back:



If I were Cuomo, I would have offered to resign only if Kavanaugh also resigns.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/biden-cuomo-did-hell-job-204519224.html

Quote
President Biden said Tuesday that he respects New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s decision to resign but that “it’s so sad” because the governor did a “hell of a job” in office.
...
“He’s done a hell of a job — on everything from access to voting to infrastructure to a whole range of things. That’s why it’s so sad,” Biden said when asked for his assessment of Cuomo’s time as New York governor.

He should look at Thai politicians. Allegations against them are futile to make them resign.

Mehdi: Cuomo’s Resignation Highlights Lack Of GOP Accountability For Misconduct
Quote
“It is a sadder day for American democracy because it's a reminder that there are only consequences, only accountability, for Democrats in our system. Not for Republicans,” says Mehdi Hasan.


Taking into account the Trump quote in this thread especially, Hasan may also have a great point.

Cuomo has resigned, but Kavanaugh has not.

Consider also that the investigations into Cuomo appear to be more substantial than the investigations into the Republican politicians who (based on their own public statements(!) and evidence uncovered by investigative journalism) have been directly implicated in organizing a coup attempt.

However merited the allegations against Cuomo may be, the double standards of who gets a (real) investigation and who gets continuously 'pressured' until they actually end up resigning are shocking.

Chris Cuomo accused of sexually harassing former boss at 2005 party
Quote
A former ABC executive producer has accused Chris Cuomo of sexually harassing her at a 2005 work party after he grabbed her butt in front of her husband and co-workers — and he later called it a “hearty greeting.”

Shelley Ross, a veteran TV journalist, detailed the incident at an Upper West Side bar in a New York Times op-ed Friday.

She said Cuomo sent an email in the aftermath telling her he was “ashamed” — but quickly tried to show his actions were different from an actor accused of doing the same to a stranger on the street.

Now that the damage is already done and he's been removed from office mind you....

Groping Charge Dropped Against Ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo
Quote
Albany County District Attorney David Soares formally abandoned a forcible touching charge Friday filed against former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo after a former aide accused him of groping her at the executive mansion, the only criminal charge that he has faced tied to a wave of sexual misconduct allegations that drove him from office last year.


This is also how tabloids work and why they're so dangerous to society as a whole.

Boebert Could Face Sex Crime Charges For Violating Colorado Lewdness Laws
Quote
Lauren Boebert is having a hard time putting her Beetlejuice antics behind her, and a new report suggests that her actions with her now ex-boyfriend in that theater could result in charges against the pair under Colorado's lewdness laws. It is unclear if authorities actually want to charge her at this point, but the tools are at their disposal if they want to go that route - and the video evidence is clear as day. Farron Cousins explains what could happen if charges are brought.

Would suit her hypocrisy well.  Time to start calling out these "family values" Republicans.

So sad that a theater holds the people in their seats to higher standards than Congress…
