The Andrew Cuomo Standard: If Democrats take sexual harassment seriously, they’ll move to impeach.
Wall Street Journal ^ | 8/3/2021 | The Editorial Board

We’re about to find out if Democrats believe what they say about having no tolerance for sexual harassment. If they do, then they have little choice other than to move to impeach Andrew Cuomo as Governor of New York.

No corporate CEO, or even a junior executive, would survive in the job amid the trail of bullying, groping, leering, unwanted kissing, and suggestive come-ons recorded in the report by six lawyers at two law firms. In one instance, the report says, Mr. Cuomo noticed a female state trooper he fancied at a public event, had her transferred to his personal protective detail though she lacked the necessary minimum tenure, then “sexually harassed her on a number of occasions.”

Bottom Line, America is about to see if DEMOCRATS take sexual harassment seriously. This case is national news and will have national voter implications in the 2022 midterm elections, especially if The New York Democrats in the Assembly and Senate cannot act swiftly to impeach Cuomo.

Here's how swiftly the Dems in Congress impeached Trump the 2nd time: The House began debating impeachment on the morning of Wednesday, January 13 and voted to impeach Trump on a single article of “incitement to insurrection” after a brisk two-hour debate.

The Senate only needed 2 weeks.

All eyes are on The NYS Legislature, the Dems control both houses, we will see if the Dems are serious about the women's vote and sexual harassment.

What an odd defense he presented, to a national audience. I was only mentoring her like she wanted when she came on to me. And besides, I do this with everyone (as he shows slides of every PC representative in the human race). People know creepy when they experience it and he treated people like a creep.

Of course they don’t take it seriously. They only take it seriously when it is a republican who is accused.

It’s all about the party. Sexual harassment is taken seriously by the Dems only insofar as it can be used as a political weapon. If it doesn’t serve party interests, it isn’t important.

If they don't impeach, they just handed a powerful political weapon TO THE GOP.

I read this, and all I see are Bolsheviks and Mensheviks jockeying for power. History suggests that the Bolsheviks win, and then start feeding on each other.

The safe thing for everyone else to do is to get as far away from the blast radius as possible. Few within it survive unscathed.

We are about to witness just how corrupt the Democrat Party is. Anyone can "call" for Cuomo to resign. Impeaching is an actual effort, Dems don't like to work.

Last I heard, the Dems had only 40 votes to impeach, but need 76(?). They also have enough Republican votes to make up the difference, but refuse to impeach with Republican help. They want to do it with Dem votes only. The numbers I cited might be off, but the gist is the same.

“ Of course they don’t take it seriously”

What is with the news media in this country

Have they seen any iota of a report on any of these people? Clinton x 2, the Bidens? Hunter?

What?

Cuomo sent 15000 old people and Med staff into covid hell
Shortly after signing a no suing allowed legislation to protect nursing homes

This is about the Dems getting rid of cuomo
To move a more left person in there.

How does the wsj take itself at all seriously???

With Epstein out of business the Democrats had to stay close to home. Soros needs to fill that void PDQ.
