The city attorney’s office, after conducting a six-month investigation, has come to a clear conclusion – New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has repeatedly broken the law by harassing his female employees. The total number of girls who complained about his harassment reached a dozen
Sexual harassment scandals flared up around Cuomo earlier this year. They overlapped with another, far more serious story – about deaths in nursing homes caused by Cuomo’s fatal decision to house coronavirus patients there, turning them into veritable “plague barracks”.
It is ironic that all last year the progressive public built around Cuomo the image of a successful governor and ideal leader in the face of a pandemic. The level of liberal sycophancy reached such a level that Cuomo’s press conferences were even awarded an Emmy Award.
At the time, any talk of deaths in nursing homes was simply glossed over – or called “conspiracy theories”. Cuomo himself quietly granted nursing home owners legal immunity – in exchange for generous donations to his campaign fund.
The media agenda around Cuomo only began to change at the moment when the number of scandals involving him became so large that they could no longer be ignored. In addition to the coronavirus deaths, the number of girls accusing Cuomo of harassment grew like a snowball. The journalistic cabal had to hastily delete past posts praising him.
Cuomo’s aides began to turn in their semi-criminal “boss” by reporting that they had deliberately withheld data on deaths in nursing homes for fear of a federal investigation. Here, however, he was helped in time by Biden, who obligingly shut down the investigation launched by Trump and spared a fellow single-party member from any legal trouble.
But now, when all the trouble seemed to be over, Cuomo has received a stab in the back – from his own attorney general, who, however, has long been vying for his gubernatorial seat. Now he faces the choice between resigning voluntarily or trying to quell the impeachment which is about to begin. Knowing Cuomo and his acute craving for power, you can bet he will choose the latter option.
