Now That Cuomo Is the Accused, Liberal Outlet Calls for Due Process in MeToo Era
Western Journal ^ | March 7, 2021 | C. Douglas Golden

Due process, you’re now officially uncanceled.

Sure, you had your temporary reinstatement last spring when a woman named Tara Reade (remember her?) accused then-candidate Joe Biden of sexual assault. All woman couldn’t be believed, it seemed, as journalists began uncovering damning evidence about Reade’s history, like the fact that she, um, had issues with landlords and former acquaintances called her “deceitful” and “manipulative.”

Plus, it was just one woman and nobody really paid much attention. Giving men accused of sexual impropriety a chance to clear their name could still be problematic, it seemed. After all, if we had to apply those standards to every situation, we might have to critically examine those Title IX show trials at colleges and universities and, let’s face it, who wants that?

But no. Sometimes you’ve just got to plant your flag in the sand and say enough is enough. For Slate, that moment came when yet another Andrew Cuomo accuser came forth.

Was it the third? Fourth? Fifth? Are we even keeping track now? We were actually on number three when Slate’s Dahlia Lithwick came forward to say that it’s high time we realize, in the case of New York’s Democratic governor, that nobody’s saying “drawn-out sexual harassment investigations are perfect, but that doesn’t make the press-and-rush-to-resignation version a perfect substitute.”

So Liberals DO recall and comprehend due process in American law?

What about some due process for US citizens who get censored?

I support due process, too.
Even for Cuomo and Biden.
But it is not like their accusers will ever have their da in court.

If it wasn't for double-standards, Liberals would have no standards at all.

Where have I heard that before?

Due process is sexist!

Don’t forget, under NYS hostile workplace and sexual harassment law, King Coomo is PERSONALLY liable for it ALL, including lawyer fees, and the costs the State incurs.

This is how The Left wrote these laws in NY.

Can you say “Ironic” ?

The media is obsessed with this. It’s going full 24/7 with it. The media is always ready to carry out the orders of the democrat party.

I noticed the media completely dropped the fact that one finger joe was accused of something much worse than cuoomo’s macho coming on to women thinking that he’s God’s gift to womanhood.

This bimbo-groping diversion is to take attention away from the fact that Cuomo is a murderer of the elderly, who imprisoned them in their nursing homes knowing that covid would decimate them.

Calling for due process in MeToo Era? How about investigating and prosecuting Cuomo for the nursing home deaths and the deaths of five hundred fifty-two residents at homes for people with developmental disabilities? It is time to get to the center of the maze and prosecute Cuomo for the deaths of all those people. The prosecution for sexual harassment can come later.

Isn’t it nice that sexual harassment trumps murder in a democrat world
