I thought this all happened months ago. Democrats were calling for Cuomo's resignation. Multiple women were accusing him of sexual harassment, misconduct. He denied he'd done anything wrong. He said he was not going to resign. It was clear to me he wasn't going to resign. I stopped hearing news about it. I presume he's going to struggle in a primary, mightily.
Has the orange rapist opened his fat trap yet?
People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. I wouldn't expect orange turd bone spurs to get into this one.

There were still holdouts who supported him or said nothing. Most of those people have turned away from him now, a man with few remaining allies has essentially none. There are only bad options left 1) resign (not likely), 2) get impeached and booted (increasingly likely) or 3) go up against women in the primary who will beat the crap out of him with this (super likely)

NY District Atty., Albany Co. just said in interview that there is enough criminal conduct to warrant an investigation. Not looking good.

I bet you one dollar he's allowed to resign with no criminal charges.
Cuz frankly America as a whole is fairly corrupt and New York is more corrupt than average.

It may be he has to face civil charges but criminal charges in his own state does seem like a tall order. Then again you never know AOC could run for governor and really make an example out of him..

Stranger things have happened.

Lenny Bruce said he'd known his whole life that "the world is corrupt. Chicago's so corrupt it's thrilling." His exact words IIRC.

I hope the Democrats do what the GOP won't--kick him the hell out for his behavior. Of course, doing the right thing (which they certainly don't always do) loses them elections, but otherwise you are no different than the shitbags on the right that put up with Gohmert, Green and scum like Roy Moore (almost winning an election after being proved a pedo, what can be more GOP than that...)

I tend to think that if he believes the votes are there in the NY legislature to throw him out, he'll pull a Nixon and resign to avoid the humiliation. Right now he's in defensive mode, still trying to convince people that he did nothing wrong which is why he's not resigning.

His response to the investigation result was pathetic.


Which only hastens his demise.

I think in NY if he's impeached he has to step down and the Lt Gov takes over until the trial is done. That alone would be pretty humiliating for him. Looks like most of the unions have abandoned him now too which were kind of his last bulwark of political support. Hard to see how this doesn't end badly for him one way or another.

Lol to be honest the guy is 100% exactly what you would imagine in a movie or TV show about Italian mob bosses.

Hugs, kissing, and touches everyone - which in our generation has ventured out more and more into the "OMG he just sexually assaulted me!" - which it's really just people that are more prone to... being more touchy than others. Obviously thats what he is using as his defense.


I don't have the details of all 11 cases - but what exactly are the specifics here? Did he pull an Anthony Weiner here? Did he talk about how hard he wants to fuck them? Or did he just make sexually suggestive/flirtatious statements?

Quick google is telling me that this was the "most abhorrent" which ultimately amounts to him touching her stomach?

“[T]he Governor placed his finger on the top of her neck and ran his finger down the center of her spine midway down her back,” the report alleges, “and said to Trooper #1, ‘Hey, you.’ ”

At another point, Cuomo allegedly asked the trooper if he could kiss her, catching her off-guard. She acquiesced. After discussing the incident with a colleague, the colleague recommended that she next time say she was sick. When Cuomo again asked, the trooper told investigators, she did exactly that — prompting Cuomo to look at her “almost in disgust.”


In September 2019, Cuomo allegedly touched the trooper in a way that made her feel “completely violated,” according to testimony she gave investigators.

“[H]e ran the palm of his left hand across her stomach in the direction opposite the direction that he was walking,” the report alleges. “The center of the Governor’s hand was on Trooper #1′s belly button, and he pushed his hand back to her right hip where she kept her gun.”

Thanks.That helps paint the picture better.


With all this by the way - it exposes a lot of shit about how much Chris Cuomo had with covering stuff up and writing letters. Both should be ousted.

The skinny of it is... not everyone wants someone touching or kissing them as a greeting. I don't care if it's traditional in your family and/or heritage; if I don't want you to smooch my cheek, then don't do it. It seems telling that he went to a defense of "this is just what I do!", and completely misses the point that not everyone wants it. Ultimately, when in doubt, err on the side of caution.

Besides the cultural/generational defense, he also categorically denies the specific allegations of sexual harassment. I'm not aware of any carve-out or exception that says old, skeevy men can touch women's ass and boobs.

I get it, but it IS different than sending dick pics or whipping it out. I mean, if it doesn't involve sexual parts, do you label that sexual assault? Whats the condition for calling it sexual assault?

Based on my readings, 98% of the actions mentioned fall in line with what he is saying.

It's a 2% of ones where it says he felt a stomach, and one where it says he grabbed a butt when hugging.

So you are implying the governor was just trying to be welcoming in one of the incidents captured below?

Pathetic celebrities were singing his praises a few months ago. Claiming that they are Cuomosexuals and how they think how hot he is. Basically, he is a darling of Hollywood. Not surprising given Hollywood's track record.
