Andrew Cuomo Would Resign Now If The Good Of The State And Country Meant Something To Him His Brother Not So Fast

THE 1970S ERA TALK-SHOW SHRINK encouragement for casual touching, feeling, kissing and the creation of the idiocy that having a sense of personal, bodily privacy was mentally unhygenic provides Andrew Cuomo with his indefensible defense  against his pattern of sexual harassment.  It should end.  The extent to which Covid-19 has led to a decrease in that kind of promiscuous touching, I hope it doesn't come back in if the virus is ever suppressed.  People should keep their mouths and hands off or other people unless they are in an ongoing intimate, mutually consenting and egalitarian relationship.  I can't think of anything that would be more hygenic than people again having a sense of personal dignity that is violated by that crap.

Cuomo should resign from the governorship and from politics.  His career was built on the reputation of his father,  Mario Cuomo and Mario Cuomo's influence in Democratic politics while he was alive.  The son burned through the good-will his father may have built up pretty fast through his arrogance and ruthlessness and Trumpian meanness.  From what I've read and seen of him, his attractions to the voters of New York mystify me almost as much as the patience with his father's perennial, non-committal teasing to run for president.   Though his son is not alone in having ridden into high office on the power of his family name and no other qualification.  There are relatives of politicians who prove to be good politicians but you can't count on that being a guarantee, we should all grow up and treat would-be dynasty builders with skepticism.  

Andrew Cuomo should resign and face the civil suits and, maybe, criminal trials that await him over that and his handling of Covid, his staying in office will cement his legacy as a selfish jerk.   

I am proud of Democratic politicians in New York and elsewhere, especially Joe Biden over their calls for him to resign.   It's rare for a president to call for the resignation of a politician who has been an ally and, maybe, kind of a friend, especially the governor of his own party in a major state whose electoral votes put him in office.  I can't recall a Republican president doing something like that though I'd like to have my memory refreshed if such happened within living memory.   

Cuomo's brother, having had a role in giving his brother political advice in this matter should not continue as a "journalist" at CNN.   But if what he did, involving himself as a political advisor while allegedly practicing journalism requires a resignation there'll be scores and hundreds of vacant jobs, I'd guess most of them such "journalist" collaborators with Republican-fascists, Rupert Murdoch's empire of right-wing "journalism" would be pretty much emptied.  The politician, being a public servant,  should resign as a matter of course, Chris Cuomo should do so only if the other political hack "journalists" are forced to do the same.  The media is a whore house where Republicans get to be totally corrupt so why shouldn't others?
