| Stick a Fork in Andrew Cuomo... He's Done |
| 2021-03-01 |
| [PJ] Between killing thousands of elderly folks with his deadly nursing home COVID-19 policy, and the now two allegations of sexual harassment, the Emmy Award-winning Governor Andrew Cuomo has found himself lacking in political capital recently... and it just got worse. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has finally spoken out about the allegations against the governor, and called both of the charges made against him "credible." "The women who have come forward with serious and credible charges against Governor Cuomo deserve to be heard and to be treated with dignity," Pelosi said in an exclusive statement provided to Fox News. "The independent investigation must have due process and respect for everyone involved." On Friday, the New York Times published the accusations of a second former Cuomo aide, Charlotte Bennett, 25, who said that when she was alone with Cuomo in his office, the governor asked her about her sex life. She claimed he asked if she "had ever been with an older man," and made other suggestive comments that made her believe she was being propositioned for sex. Bennett’s accusations came on the heels of another former aide, Lindsey Boylan, detailing the sexual harassment she allegedly experienced from the disgraced governor. Boylan originally came forward in December, in a blog post on Medium, which we reported here at PJ Media, but the mainstream media wasn’t particularly interested in the story at the time. Prior to these recent allegations gaining traction in the media, a growing number of Democrats in the New York state senate had already tried to strip Cuomo of his emergency COVID powers, and he faced calls for him to be impeached and prosecuted for his cover-up of nursing home COVID deaths. The sexual harassment allegations on top of that are likely too much for him to overcome and restore his legacy. |

| #9 All kinds of "credible" things on Joey, but the end justifies the means, and the end was to beat Trump. |

| #8 So, two "credible" cases of sexual harrasment may be enough to 'cancel' him, but 10k dead bodies are evidently irrelevant? You gotta wonder about their priorities... |

| #7 House Speaker Nancy Pelosi ... called both of the charges made against him "credible." But the more numerous charges against your POTUS were not credible? |

| #6 Cuomo's too white even though his name ends in a vowel. Democrats are taking the diversity thing to it's extreme. |

| #5 So is Biden. "What am I doing here?" Biden asks after walking up to a podium to speak in Houston. |

| #3 Remember the 'Boss' knows all the dirt on the players in Albany. Cuomo didn't kill himself? |

| #2 With a (D) behind his name, he'll be out about the same time as the blackface governor of Virginia. Remember the 'Boss' knows all the dirt on the players in Albany. |

| #1 ...The best part is that he ain't going easy. I'm guessing at least 2-3 more revelations before the NY state political machine has a come-to-Jesus meeting with him, and by that point he'll be so damaged that in 2024 he'll be no more than a trivia question. Which might be the point here - I still think the timing on this is a little odd, but one takes the little victories where one can find them. And do you think that they'll make him give his Emmy(TM) back? Mike |
