Wait- so a Democrat in high elected office is found responsible for sexual harassment, and members of his own party are calling for his immediate resignation.

See, Republican leaders? See how easy that is to do?

 

(totally accepting the fact that the GOP will agree with me and also call for Cuomo's resignation, completely missing the point, as per usual)

Both parties are the same!

Except that Dems do it without any nuance whatsoever (Al Franken) and Rs don’t care about nuance either, except the other direction.

This is a joke, right? He's paid off a porn star, bragged about sexually assaulting women, been accused of rape by his ex wife and was still elected POTUS.

He'll never learn, and sure as fuck won't pay on a personal level.

Yes he will.

Republicans don’t suffer for sexual assault/harassment/misconduct because they don’t care about the rights of women. The only time they suffer is when they scream and shout about the dangers of homosexuality and then turn out to be gay.

I am guessing Cuomo resigns in the next few days because of this.  How long until Fox News spins the story to Joe Biden smelled someone’s hair once and needs to resign immediately.  Like others have said in this thread the R’s play by a different set of rules and get away with it. I am still pissed that baggage handler #1 from Trading Places had to resign his Senate seat over a photo from years before when he was one of the senators that actually tried to help his constituents and people of this country.

The evidence and accusations have been out for a long time, far longer than any other Democrat politician.  It's been almost a year.  What makes this week so goddamned special?  The guy is gonna double down and cling to office until New Year's Day.  I don't know what his endgame is, what he's trying to preserve. But he's a stubborn asshole who thinks he knows it all and is guilty of nothing.  He's gonna fuck this up.  I am encouraged by Biden singling him out today, maybe that's the tipping point.  But I wouldn't count on it.  This is the beloved Cuomo family of New York after all.  There is literally nothing they can't fuck up and not stay beloved.  You'd think one of 'em killed a Red Sox player or something.  I never got the fascination with this family.

At this point, are any prominent Dems standing by him? If so, can we please call them out as well?

None that I’m aware of. When the President and leader of the party says you should resign, I think that’s all you need to know.

Remember that Joe Biden also called for Northam to resign, but this was before he was the de facto head of the party.  He's consistent. 

Unlike Virginia 2019,  the NY LG is not scandal-ridden herself and would be a fine replacement.  The VA LG in 2019 had his own scandals.

This is essentially what I posted in the OP.  Just an amazing shift in public perception and political position in a very short time.  All about stuff that has been common knowledge for a long time.

Cuomo's response video and the, "I kiss everybody" explanation really brings the cringe.

Yeah, that photo spread did not help him.  I think he and Trump have the same publicist.

"What?  I finger everybody when they first come to work for me.  We're a family for godsakes."

Just the asshole in me, but who the F are these clowns? And why should anyone in NY give a hoot? If you're not a citizen of NY or someone with a national rep, STFU with your official position.
They are the governors of neighboring states. It's a little different here because governor of NY is relatively powerful since he has control of NYC, which impacts people in those other states.

On why it has taken so long, they let the AG do her investigation. Now that it is out, he needs to resign.

I think a lot of people aren't Cuomo fans. But back in March and April, TFG was so bad, that he made Cuomo look amazing. Most people knew Cuomo had a lot of skeletons in his closet. He was his dad's fixer back in the day.

Yeah I was 100% okay with letting James finish her investigation first.  She's done and now he gotta go.

Also the neighboring states' governors, who are also part of the DGA and NGA with Cuomo, should speak out and tell him to resign.  If Newsom and Polis and Kate Brown and Tony Evers want to say it as well, let them.  More voices, more pressure.  

The party isn't backing him on this.

Even though I live in New York I am alright with the statement put out by the governors because, as Penelope stated, there is an inter-connectedness to these states because of NYC. You have people that take the Metro North from New Haven all the way to mid-town 5 days a week. Commuters come from all over Jersey, parts of Pennsylvania and other stops north in Connecticut besides New Haven. Texas differs in that you’d have to fly to go visit or work in cities in neighboring states. Cuomo being the governor of what is a very large part of the economy in the northeast warrants the statement to resign. I think the statement should have been made a long time ago just based on how he has mistreated human beings most of his adult life, but the findings from AG James have finally backed him into a corner with any allies he may have had left that mattered.

For the Republicans?  Some little bug that's going around Florida and Texas and a few other states.

The arc of the universe  is long and it bends toward justice. Be patient. They’ll get theirs.

I hope you’re right. I wish I could share your optimism. We know that he committed felony campaign finance violations. It resulted in his lawyer Michael Cohen getting sentenced to jail. We’ve seen the checks Trump wrote in the Oval Office to reimburse Cohen for paying off a porn star and a Playboy playmate to buy their silence during the campaign. He should’ve been indicted by now.

If you find yourself embroiled in a massive sexual assault controversy with multiple accusers/victims.  And you're not leaning on calling into question the integrity of the accusers, if you're not saying they are politically/financially motivated, if you're not going to refute even knowing them/being alone with them, and if there are no procedural or legal mechanisms on which to lean...but if your sole and strongest defense in a SEXUAL ASSAULT case is, "I kiss everybody like that"...you're fucked.  And not like proper fucked, but like royally fucked for the rest of your life.  

Who opens...AND CLOSES...with, "I kiss everybody like that, I do that with everyone."  Holy shit.  You sound like a deranged pledge captain at some Staten Island frat house, "Hey fellas, it don't count none as long as you touch all the girls the same way, so get ready..."

AP: Aide who accused Cuomo files criminal complaint

Quote

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — A woman who accused Gov. Andrew Cuomo of groping her breast at the governor’s state residence filed a criminal complaint against him, the Albany County Sheriff’s office said Friday.

The complaint, filed Thursday with the sheriff’s office, is the first known instance where a woman has made an official report with a law enforcement agency over alleged misconduct by Cuomo.

“We take every complaint seriously,” Albany County Undersheriff William Rice said Friday.

It’s possible the Democratic governor could be arrested if investigators or the county district attorney determine he committed a crime, Albany County Sheriff Craig Apple told the New York Post.

“The end result could either be it sounds substantiated and an arrest is made and it would be up to the DA to prosecute the arrest,” he told the newspaper, which was the first to report on the complaint. “Just because of who it is we are not going to rush it or delay it,” Apple said.

Apple didn’t immediately return a phone message from The Associated Press. His office confirmed to The AP that the report had been filed.

The Cuomo aide who filed the report has accused him of reaching under her shirt and fondling her when they were alone together at the Executive Mansion last year. The woman also told investigators with the attorney general’s office that Cuomo once rubbed her rear end while they were posing together for a photo.

The sheriff’s office didn’t immediately provide a copy of the complaint. A request for comment was sent to Cuomo’s lawyer, Rita Glavin.

The Albany County district attorney would not confirm that they received a complaint, saying they had no plans to release any information because “this is an ongoing matter that is under review,” spokesperson Cecilia Walsh said in an email.

Also not a good look for Cuomo, that all this talk of breast groping and his nipples are still the biggest story here.  

Seriously, are they those little piercing bars younger people get in theirs?  They look little tiny barbells.  Like he wakes up and looks down at 'em and says in that New York Italian accent, "Yeah, how much ya' bench?"  

What the fuck were we talking about again?

What a stupid fucking dipshit. Y'all impeached a President over a consensual blowjob and currently have a member of Congress who chased down school shooting survivors to accuse them of being actors.
