Whilst he's probably a piece of shit it's still far less than Trump. I hope we all act consistently with our opinions here. 🙂

Innocent until proven guilty.

I've always been consistent.

The majority of House Democrats from New York on Friday called on Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo to resign from office in the wake of sexual harassment allegations and his handling of Covid-19 deaths at state nursing homes. [cnn]

🙂

He shouldn't have to resign unless he's found guilty of these accusations or he admits to them.

nah. wrong as always. no2

Why should innocent people have to resign?

Do you know what "Innocent until proven guilty" is?

he's obviously not innocent of the nursing home scandal. also his accusers are numerous and close enough to warrant enough suspicion to call for an elected officials' resignation. "you have to be wait for a conviction and pretend that the scandal doesn't exist" is willful enablement of nefarious slime bags. like that president who had 25+ rape accusations.

Kind of surprised he isn't trying to flee the country at this point.

I mean, he'd probably get caught, but he's pretty much just waiting for the authorities to haul him away now.

The sexual harassment claims are bad enough, but the much bigger crime is what he allowed to happen to nursing home residents.

Funny how no one is really focusing on that anymore.

The nursing home thing is bad, he should be investigated and prosecuted if appropriate.

And if we don't wait for convictions, then we just pressure people to resign based on accusations.

How does that make sense?

Anyone can be accused by anyone of anything.

Asking people resign is just about criminal endeavors.

Well this also assumes all people in office should only leave early if they are criminally convicted of something.

I'm not sure what you mean?

Oh.

Of course that's true.

I'm just saying he shouldn't resign unless he admits it and/or is found guilty.

lulz now cuomo is refusing to resign, and raging against "cancel culture". oh ffs just switch parties, so we can all be done with this. republicans don't care that your killed their grandparents with negligence over covid. Just look how they still bend the knee to trump.

That was China's fault.

Only half joking, the Right could put a little more blame on the leader of the US, and the left could stop sucking China's cock with all the Tiktok publicity and actually call them out as the monsters they are.

A sixth woman has now come forward.

Jessica Bakeman, now a reporter at WLRN in Miami, wrote that she was 25 years old when she was covering Cuomo, and alleged that he often touched her without her consent -- "on my arms, my shoulders, the small of my back, my waist" -- and described one incident in 2014 at a holiday party at the Executive Mansion where he took her hand, put his arm around her, his hand on her waist and held her "firmly in place."

so...how about that cuomo?

naughty, naughty!
