I also wonder how it is that Democrats can be so stupid. When republicans are GUILTY of the worst atrocities they stick together. I listen to these weak charges and Democrats join the republicans against him. Why now with these women? Why not during the whole “me too” movement? Why such petty claims and such responsive reactions? Seriously people! WAKE UP! They need Cuomo gone. He can hurt Trumps planned comeback.

example (Lindsey Boylan).

Or Anna Ruch -- "Mr. Cuomo put his hand on Ms. Ruch’s bare lower back, she said in an interview on Monday. When she removed his hand with her own, Ms. Ruch recalled, the governor remarked that she seemed “aggressive” and placed his hands on her cheeks"

Or Karen Hinton -- "She says Cuomo hugged her - and she says she could physically feel he was sexually aroused." ... "He started asking me personal questions. I was uncomfortable with that conversation. So I stood up to leave and he walked across from his couch and embraced me intimately. It was not just a hug. It was an intimate embrace. I pulled away. He brought me back. I pulled away again and I said 'look I need some sleep, I am going,'" Hinton told News 4 in her first TV interview about the incident."

When I had female employees, I followed different standards of behavior. But I'm just a dork I guess.

Edited to add -- these are all allegations, not proven facts.
