Cuomo and Putin: two men treated as political geniuses until they became politically erratic.
The New York Don gave in to pressure to leave office (even though he could have held out like his counterpart in Virginia) and is now using his massive war chest to relaunch his political career by going after a politician who isn’t even running against him.
Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s team has released an ad campaign targeting New York State Attorney General Letitia James, calling her report on sexual harassment claims “bogus.” Cuomo’s team claims that James ignored evidence of perjury and witness tampering. The former governor has consistently stated that his resignation was politically fueled.
James is underwhelming and so is her report, but people mostly paid attention to the allegations by his accusers which were not nearly as damning as those of Franken, but plausible enough. Certainly enough to force Cuomo’s resignation.
Having then survived any effort to indict him for anything, Cuomo is back arguing that… he shouldn’t have resigned?
If he didn’t think that there was anything to it, why did he resign? Decency, shame, responsibility as a public servant? Come on. No one, not even the most devout Cuomosexuals, seriously believe that Cuomo possesses any of those qualities. His only possible reason for resigning was fear. Now he’s not afraid because he got away with it and wants the job that he abandoned when he jumped overboard.
Cuomo’s got millions on hand, but James, despite signaling that she was going to run, isn’t running. That means if he does run, he’ll be up against his own Lt. Gov and he’ll have to once again attack himself for picking Hochul.
Meanwhile, he’s poisoning the well with a core chunk of the Dem electorate, black women, by pointlessly running ads against James. That’s not political smarts, it’s payback.
Now can we discuss thousands of dead nursing home patients and an attempt to blame COVID on the Jews?
