1. Cuomo is a much bigger fish than that little twit.

Of course he’ll get more coverage.

2. I watch multiple cable news shows and they have been heavily reporting on the Cuomo story.

Yesterday was the first time I had even heard Cawthorn mentioned (on Joy Reid and on Don Lemon).

Even when they cover Cawthorn, it's more like, "well, Republicans don't care, so whoop-de-do" rather than still insisting they hold their feet to the fire like they do Democrats and expect other Democrats to do.

3. I didn't realize there was a Cawthorn story until I saw this post
