63. You know what...I heard the same BS with Governor Northam...and I will say the same thing.

Mar 2021

The GOP and others who dislike Cuomo are using this to get rid of him...and we can't allow it. I am the victim of violent sexual assault. I have also experience sexual harassment... and I don't see that here.

This is political. And I bitterly resent using 'Me Too' politically. Already, you see women not being believe when they should be. This is a merely an attempt to destroy powerful Democrats. And I won't be part of it...purity costs us elections. Had we rushed in and forced Northam and Fairfax out when the GOP plotted to get rid of them...Virginia would be run by Republicans today.

So you don't suspect any republican skullduggery? brush Feb 2021 #20

Cuomo doesn't need any Republican help to self-destruct. He's got a Trump-sized ego. n/t PoliticAverse Feb 2021 #23

Possibly, but you seem to be forgetting, maybe ignoring, that Cuomo made trump's... brush Feb 2021 #27

No, as I live in New York I can tell you that Cuomo is his own worst enemy. PoliticAverse Feb 2021 #28
