Joel Wertheimer took a job in Andrew Cuomo’s administration in February 2017, straight from his position in Barack Obama’s White House. He came on alongside almost 30 other new hires, many of whom had also worked for the outgoing president or on Hillary Clinton’s campaign and were seeking a progressive professional path through the Trump years. Some saw New York State government as a bulwark against what they feared Trumpism would bring. Others hoped it could be a laboratory for ideas that might become a model for federal policy.

Cuomo’s brand of so-called leadership has been well known for years. He rode in on his Daddy’s shoulders and has easily assumed the reputation for running the State like it was an outreach group for the Mafia. New York voters know this and have continued to vote for him. De Blasio, arguably the most incompetent Mayor New York City has ever experienced have continued to vote for him. Chris Cuomo, his talentless obnoxious brother continues to claim a prime time spot on CNN. New York: Either get your heads out of your collective behinds and vote them out or suck it up and Shut Up.

#1. AMEN!! The Democrats who newly targeting Governor Cuomo are behaving as if they just the past few weeks discovered that he is not the man who was recently touted as a great Governor and maybe an excellent candidate for higher public office. Therefore this attempted "Canceling of Cuomo" is not based on his past or his behavior during the past year or so.

Why? Because demonrats and their shills in the drive-by propaganda media made it so.

It's called PROPAGANDA.
Pretty much ALL the media is leftist, Demonrat propaganda - also known as LIES.
The "media" lies for Demonrats. THATS why Cuomo was such a "hero" when he was totally screwing up everything he did. They LIED.

Seems very strange Dems have all hopped on the hate Cuomo train and no criticism about Wilhelm.

As I have said before, there are no coincidences in politics. By suddenly making Coma the dim's poster child and eventually getting his resignation, that clears the way for NY's de Blasio and AOC to move up in the political world. And it helps keeps Newsom and his recall prospects and biden's mental health issues out of sight. Obie plays a clever game.

Let's not forget how he murdered the poor defenseless elderly by his guidance on COVID. You could say he fits in the category of serial killer.

Why was that celebrated for so long? Easy. That is a resume enhancement for a Democrat running for office or occupying one.

Given what's been revealed in the 2020 election, are you sure New York voters are dumb enough to vote for Cuomo and DeBlasio?

Why? Because leftists have no ability to judge character since they have none themselves. Remember that, 6 months ago, they were touting this thug pervert as presidential material and giving him awards.

#7 reminded me - isn’t it interesting how California is suddenly opening up after the news came out that the Recall Newsom petition had enough signatures to hold a recall election? The left is nothing if not predictable.

The world is upside down. Killing 15,000 Seniors is not an impeachable offense, but flirting is.

I found this article amusing. Written by a liberal, whiny feminist about liberal, whiny feminists being abused at work by a big bad mean white guy. They all want to change the world to what they think it should be and the world is indifferent and mean to them. Well, wow. Just wow.
I just hope and pray the world continues to ignore these little idiot goody two-shoes and their superior attitudes. We’ll all be better off for it.

Six months ago this Cuomo was a movie star ready to receive an Academy Award now he's loser trash, what happened? This rubber faced chump along with his brother, Fredo, were the toast of the party now the New Yorker can't find a friend don't tell my there are not powers out there that run the democrat show. Someone on the left have noticed that Cuomo is too toxic to continue to follow.

Really, Rebecca .... you can't figure it out? Really?
Randy Andy was the Uber-Leftist poster boy. New York now has a STATE law (which Randy Andy the good Catholic happily signed) that overrules any Supreme Court decision concerning Roe v. Wade if it gets repealed or changed in any way. The State of NY allows abortion right up until the child is basically born ... except for it's head! Picture that!! A 9 month old baby, killed. And no reason other than the mother doesn't want the baby.
Then, RA went after guns. He got so excited passing a law ... that he signed ... making it ILLEGAL for anyone to own a gun (under any circumstances) that held more than 6 bullets. Only one problem ... the police carry 9-shot Glocks and those guns instantly became illegal too. They quickly amended the law. Also include in this stupid "law" is that NO ONE can shoot a gun in NYS without a valid license. That destroyed a bunch of pistol ranges and gun schools that taught safety. You can only practice now with an unloaded gun or a toy. But he wasn't done ... then came fracking! NY banned it entirely and then about 3,000 jobs moved to Ohio and Pennsylvania.
Lastly, Randy Andy was a "cat's paw" against Trump. He investigated him, made private documents available to the media, etc. Trump gone = Cuomo gone.
Fredo's brother has outlived his usefulness.

All of these attacks on Governor Cuomo for doing what the Obama deep state told him to do? Think of his accomplishments; he has reduced Social Security, pension fund, Medicare and Medicaid payments with a higher than any state elderly death toll, he increased social distancing not by lockdowns but by approximately 1 million residents moving out of the state and; he was ahead of his time in complying with the Paris climate accords by shutting down jobs and reducing transportation needs including air travel in the state. A win-win for everyone except those people that live there---and continually vote Democrat. Good for them!

Remember if they get Cuomo gone on abusing women and not the nursing home deaths, it gets the pressure off other Democrat Governors who had the same policies toward nursing homes that caused unneeded deaths.

The New York Democrats would love to get rid of Cuomo on the sexually related incidents so they don’t have to dig into the nursing home situation where people with COVID were put into nursing homes with many tens of thousands of elderly weak residents who were then infected with the very contagious COVID virus with many thousands of those elderly residents dying. Remember all that was done under liberal Democrat State and local liberal Democrat governance and you can bet there were a lot more liberal Democrat politicians and operatives involved and they certainly now want to cover those Democrat politicians and operatives butts. Also remember when all that was going on the Democrats and their media propagandists were praising Cuomo for his “handling” of the COVID situation, were fraudulently putting down Trump as Trump was trying to get a handle on the unprecedented COVID situation facing America, and were touting Cuomo to be the Democrat nominee for President. If the New York Democrats can limit that incompetent political history to Cuomo it is in their political interest to do so.
Right now we are seeing what amounts to a covert political civil war in New York between the old line liberal Democrats as is Cuomo, and the raising progressive (socialist) Democrats who want to get rid of Cuomo and replace him with a progressive Democrat, probably a minority female.

OMG...if New Yorkers knew what Cuomo was all about... why... oh why... did they vote him and deblasio into office...at some point they have to wonder... what am I doing... no sympathy from me... the political patronage system has more people on the payroll than ordinary citizens voting... so what can one expect...WE here in Illinois have a similar system going in Springfield...political corruption on overload and very few free elections... that's how Chicago's mayor slow foot go the job... not because she's a qualified leader,,, but she was a black gay woman and the democrats needed a racial component to win...the chicago tax base has moved out and now Obama/biden is giving slow foot tax money to cover her inefficient tenure...

Being from that neck of the woods, I can assure you that Cuomo has always been a nasty bully (who talks to us like we are idiots) but am also positive that, horrendous as it is re: the women, this focus by fellow Democrats is also about diversion so that we don't look at the Democratic governors of N.J., Pa. and Michigan

Where is the outrage from the Hollywood hags and the girlies on the left? I thought their phony #METOO movement meant that all women MUST be believed. So what is it girls, never believe accusations of sexual misconduct as long as the perpetrator is a Democrat? And has anyone heard any outcry from the dishonorable Senator from Hawaii Minge Hirono, or our future President Heels Up Harris?

Him and several other Dimocrat Gov's are responsible for killing old and handicapped people with their hideous policies. They are trying to sink Don Corleone Cuomo by focusing on the sex scandals and pushing the deaths out of the spotlight.
