Melissa DeRosa, Top Aide to Gov. Andrew Cuomo, Resigns
WSJ ^

Posted on 08/09/2021 4:23:10 AM PDT by bryan999

ALBANY, N.Y.—Melissa DeRosa, the top aide to New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, said Sunday night she was resigning, as the Democratic governor faces a possible impeachment over sexual-harassment charges as well as a criminal investigation.

Ms. DeRosa was mentioned multiple times in a report issued Tuesday by state Attorney General Letitia James that found Mr. Cuomo violated state and federal sexual-harassment laws when he inappropriately hugged, kissed, touched and commented about 11 women—most of whom are current or former state employees.

Yet no one cares about the 10s of thousands of senior citizens he murdered in nursing homes. Death panels to the enth degree.

We don’t know how many died of CoupFlu.

FWIW, I think it’s far more likely Cuomo and Albany were cooking the numbers up, not down, just like the case counts.

This thing with Cuomo isn’t about sexual harassment.

Cuomo’s predacious predilections have been an open secret for years.

Something else is going on.

The rats are leaving the ship. It must be sinking.

Andrew Cuomo is no longer held in favor by other Democrats, who are now giving him the “Al Franken” treatment. And for similar reasons, making unwanted sexual advances and inappropriate remarks.

The necessary sacrifice, to make the world imagine that Democrats are able to do their own “housecleaning”.

Except that this is purely for the optics, and no “reform” will result. Only the way things get reported will change.

Yep. I get the impression Democraps now see him as a liability so they are using the sexual harassment as an excuse to get rid of him rather than the nursing home mass murder because I believe Cuomo was ordered to commit that mass murder. It doesn’t make sense, yes the guy is stupid, but is he THAT stupid? What kind of moron doesn’t know that if you put people in contact with infected people they too will become infected? It’s just way way too low down on the IQ scale. I think Cuomo was ordered as were other governors to increase the death rate so Trump could be blamed and made to look even worse and I think they were ordered by the mega-bitch herself Pelosi

They said that this lady was the only person in Albany with more enemies than Cuomo and no friends at all.

I agree. They want him out for some reason, and sexual harassments is just the excuse.

Telling a woman she looks attractive is ‘harassment’? Hey girls, feel free to harass me that way every day. I love compliments.

It used to brighten people’s day, and increase their desire to aspire to do it more.

It’s like taking down Al Capone on his tax evasion. It was probably the least of his crimes, but the end result was prison.

“Telling a woman she looks attractive is ‘harassment’? “

How about putting his hand up their blouse? Or running his finger across their chest? Or running his hand over their stomach? Or putting his hand up their skirt?

Don’t be pedantic. I am SPECIFICALLY talking about that one item.

And yes, sticking his hand up a woman’s skirt WOULD be harassment. Did you think I was saying it was not? Seriously? That’s your level of understanding of my original commentcomment?

Let me review that...

Me: “Telling someone they are attractive is not harassment”

You: “OH SO YOU THINK IT’S OK TO STICK HIS HAND UP HER SKIRT?”

Nice leap of logic there...

Why bother bringing up the least of his offences?

The rats are leaving the sinking ship. When your TOP AID jumps ship, well, a blind person can see he’s in big heap trouble.

The Luv Guv...

Funny, a few months back Leslie Stahl did a kiss up interview of the love guv, asking him if he's available for luv. Tuned in last night, not a word from Leslie about that corrupt news story she did portraying Cumo as a saint...more fake news from the corrupt media.

Remember Al Capone. The FBI got him for income tax evasion because they lacked evidence to convict for other crimes

Cuomo can’t be convicted for killing with Covid but is likely going down for sex acts
