NEW YORK — Hours after leaving office, scandal-tainted former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo suffered another defeat Tuesday, losing the special Emmy Award he received last year for his daily, televised briefings on the coronavirus pandemic.

The International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences said in a statement that given Cuomo’s resignation amid a torrent of sexual harassment allegations it was taking away the prize and removing any reference to him in its official materials.

It is really wrong to do this. Stripping people of their awards isn't right. It has happened to both Conservatives and Leftists.

Poor innocent Laura Ingalls Wilder was stripped of her posthumous accolades because she mentioned "colored people" in one of her books. "Colored People" is not pejorative; there are colored people in our town who still refer to black folks as colored people.

There is an ugly word used to refer to blacks and it isn't "colored".

Nobel still comes with a million dollar check.

The only one that has become a joke is the Peace prize. Most of the others are won by very impressive intelligent people.

Yes, thanks for the clarification. Peace prize is a woke joke.

Good thing Samuel Clemmons is no longer alive. He used the “n” word a lot.

It is not revoked because of his role in increasing Wuhan Virus nursing home deaths. The Academy says it is revoked because of the sexual harassment allegations. I suspect that more specifically, the Academy learned that the Emmy statute itself complained that Cuomo engaged in unwanted touching of the Emmy statue’s breasts.

Note that they revoked the award for his sexual harassment problem, not because he killed thousands in the nursing homes.

Killing babies and old folks is no problem for liberals.

Actually the Nobel prize for Literature is pretty woke too.
Bob Dylan(2016) really?

The prizes for Chemistry, Physics and Medicine not so much.
That Einstein guy was overated(not).

Leftist always “erase” their mistakes—and then go out there and proclaim that they have always been virtuous and will always be virtuous.

Think of it as sociopaths in action.

Call me ignorant. I never read the book and I only watched about 40 minutes of the movie once and didn’t like how close to reality it was back then.

Now it came true thanks to the dirty Dems and BLM.

REVOKED IT? Why?

The man is the perfect actor, "do as I say, not as I do."

Governor 'Nursing Home Killer' Cuomo acted exactly according to script. He was on cue. He spoke his lines as if he really believed them. This is a man who killed thousands and blamed innocent victims for it without stumbling once.

He even targeted a demographic that Television producers don't want anymore.

The International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences needs to bestow another Emmy on him for his award-winning performance blaming his Italian heritage (and thereby all Italians) for his sexual harassment of state employees at the same time it is still illegal for others to do the same.

My dad told me to speak politely too and about colored people. Never use the “N” word and dont use ‘negro’ either cause it sounds too much like the “n” word. In the 60s I worked in a state hospital with a large contingent of black folk. If one of the black folk asked me if I knew so and so he would say something like. “…tall colored fella. Works over at so in so”. There was no animosity or tension. Just a conversation. We were all equal then.

I miss those days.
People just getting along. Everyone doing the best they could. Back when a man’s character counted more than anything else.
Then government got too deep into things and the Race Hustle became a pathway to power and wealth.

The folks responsible for the Emmys attempting to Unkiss the Pig.
Don’t worry, by your next awards show everyone will have forgotten you ever gave him one.
