Why do Democrats try to defend Governor Cuomo against charges of sexual harassment with cries of Trump did worse? A few points, one it makes no difference what Trump did or didn’t do that’s not a defense. When I was a teenager and my father caught me doing something wrong saying some of friends did the same thing or worse never mitigated my punishment, two the alleged Trump incidents took place before he was President he wasn’t working for us at the time while Cuomo was using the Governorship, three the most publicized was the Stormy Daniels case where she never claimed it wasn’t consensual only that he paid her off to keep quiet. While if true it’s not nice but it’s also not illegal. Remember the case was filed by lawyer Michal Avenatti who some Democrats, at the time, were saying should run for President. That was before he was caught stealing from clients, disbarred and sent to jail. Finally Cuomo’s accusers with the exception of the one reporter he tried to intimidate were Democrats who worked for him. Personally I think there should be an investigation where he gets the chance to dispute the charges. What I’m afraid of is that this might be a red herring to divert attention away from the Nursing Home scandal where elderly patients were put in danger and many died. It seems strange that the New York Post was reporting this story months ago and our Attorney General Letitia James only discovered it after the election, meanwhile Cuomo was receiving an Emmy and Joe Biden was calling the Gold Standard of Governors for his handling of the Coved pandemic. Finally do you remember during the Obama care debates one of the advisors Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel talking about rationing limited health care, like transplant organs and vaccines for younger patients. Now we have four Democratic Governors from New York, Michigan, New Jersey and Pennsylvania putting patients who test positive for Covid into Nursing homes because they needed hospital beds and respirators for younger patients. Not accusing just saying.
