There are now SIX women who have come forward and stated that Gov Cuomo (D-NY)
has sexu@ly harassed them.

1) Should he resign?


2) Has anyone heard of ANY feminist organization state that we need to believe
the women - you know - like they said about Trump and other conservatives.

Posted by Wingman from another thread:

So, women who never mentioned these problems at the time, get more blowback on Cuomo than exterminating the elderly. People want him to resign over this issue, so it takes the heat off of the other dim governors who drove the covid #’s through killing off the nursing home residents. Look here, not there. Take one for the team, & go on your happy way. I want prosecutions, not shell games.

My answer:

Cuomo is also under investigation by the Feds for hundreds of deaths in nursing homes - so combined with the reports of women - Cuomo is in some read deep hot water!

!

Why the women did not report sooner.
The first lady stated she was afraid of loosing her job.
and I believe she stated others felt the same

Others may not want to have been the first - as if they were the only on
to come forward - they might have thought they would not be believed.

Yes.

I haven't heard anyone, anywhere, say that we should NOT take the allegations extremely seriously.

But many complained about conservative nominees
Why have they remained silent about Cuomo?

Just to clarify - when I said "they" I am talking about feminist groups -

The reason - they dont want to upset the Democrat big wheels.

Again, who is supporting Cuomo?

For instance, I have never felt the need to publicly state that Tim McVeigh (the Oklahoma City bomber) or that John Wayne Gacy (the serial killer of teen boys in Illinois) were bad people and should have been punished. This is literally the first time I have ever made that assertion for either one of them. It is obvious on its face that there was a problem with both of them (to put it mildly).

AGAIN, the difference is that many people were supporting "conservative" leaders and nominees and attacking those who made credible allegations. If there was a significant chorus of people defending Cuomo, you would probably hear some of these groups make a statement.

Why is this so hard to grasp?

The only thing I can think of is a desire to attack groups you don't like by suggesting they have to make a public statement about every unsavory thing in the news, otherwise they agree with it.

That is a form of passive support. Ignore it. Don’t report it.
Your silence on the issue of racist attacks on Asian Americans reveals your passive support of it. You ignore it. You don't make public statements about it.

Of course, what I wrote above is nonsense. But that's the argument you are making against groups you don't like. It is patently unfair and diminishes your credibility to speak on any issue.

First I do not use hypheanted-Americian terms.

Let me be very clear on this

ANY violence on ANY person - is wrong - other than self-defense.

Now back to Cuomo
When feminist groups come out and say that we should always belive the woman in a sexual assult
(usually stated with a conservative)
But say nothing when a liberal does so - then it does make you wonder.

Should we believe a woman always
I will give the benefit of the doubt
but if a females does make a false accusation - knowingly
then she should pay the price
since that false report may cause a real victim to not report.

Since I have made myself very clear - I am done with this conversation.

I don't think that is an apples to apples comparison -- that is, someone not involved versus a group that supported Andrew Cuomo. For example, National Organization of Women - New York (and others) visibly and specifically endorsed and supported Andrew Cuomo when he ran for governor in 2018. It is more relevant that they clear the air, so to speak, than whether you or I do, or even just some random feminist organization.
1) Should he resign?
No, he should be chased from the office.

If you want to make a valid comparison, you need to find a group that attacked another particular group mercilessly for “anti-Asian” racism, but when one of their own engaged in the same alleged conduct, they were silent.

That would be more a accurate comparison.

And you assume my comments are because I “don’t like” certain groups, but fail to define who these people are. That seems unfair on its face.

peace to you

Okay, okay, I do find this whole Cuomo thing amusing in a way, but not the nursing home covid death part, just the guvnah's creepy ways with these women. I'd like to know what Salty thinks should happen, him being a long-term resident of that state and all.

Looks like Cuomo is standing pat, for now - every politician in the state is screaming for his head, except for Chuckie Schumer and, more inexplicably, Gillibrand. Unlike Texas, the governor of New York has a lot of power and power is addictive.

I think he should be made to resign, but not for this, as should Witless, Newsom, Wolf, and maybe a few other covid jackboot governors for what they all did to the seniors in nursing homes. Newsom will probably get a recall, nobody has mentioned that with Cuomo though, so I think he's going to try to ride this out and he just may succeed in doing do.

The only reason I would not want him to be removed from office (resign or impeached) is because it would be eaiser for the Republicans to win the Governors Race next year.

The thing about NY is that the State is pretty much controlled by NY City - and with the Dem leaning cities of Bufallo, Rochester, Syracuse and Albany - the Dems are pretty much in control

I don't care whether he does or not. People like him are what New Yorkers deserve.
