Breathtaking hypocrisy: Trump sycophants have no standing to demand that Cuomo resign

U.S. Rep. Elise Stefanik wants New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo to “resign and be arrested immediately.” The New York Republican is incensed on behalf of the 11 women who, according to evidence in a report from the state attorney general, he sexually harassed. “These brave women deserve swift and definitive justice,” Stefanik says.

How rich is that?

Cuomo absolutely should resign, and if authorities deem it appropriate, he should be charged. This is a mainstream position: A Quinnipiac Poll released Friday found that 70% of New York state voters think he should resign and 55% said he should be charged with a crime.

What’s rich is Stefanik passing judgment on Cuomo when she has sold her political soul to former President Donald Trump and the ethically, morally, legally, constitutionally and sexually compromised mess of a party he leads. She got her leadership job – No. 3 in the GOP House hierarchy – after Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming was ousted for insufficient fealty to Trump. Cheney had voted to impeach him over his role in the deadly Jan. 6 Capitol attack by violent Trump supporters.

TFG has had no repercussions that amount to a hill of beans (yet),so shut the fuck up about Cuomo. To me, it has all of the hallmarks that he was set up. If he is guilty, then yes, he should pay the price, but so should all of these other idiots who only impose the rule of law on others, never on themselves.

An eye for an eye.

(What Will We Tell the Children, Incorporated?) Guess who was also having extra marital affairs? Ken Starr, Newt Gingrich, Diaper David Vitter, Bob Livingston, and Denny Hastert (Hastert was raping boys), the guys prosecuting Clinton, from appearances it looks like being consensual was the crime.

Remember when Anthony Wiener was sexting an underage girl, did not touch the girl, still a crime, went to prison. Stefanik should remember that one, we just have to be grateful she isn't doing the woke tour with Gaetz.

We wanted a thorough investigation this time, and we got it, and it does not look good. Criminal referrals are more than likely in the works and the chips will fall. Which was far more due process than Al Franken got for being on a USO tour where raunchy jokes are the whole gag, where his accuser was on film dry humping Robin Williams, before she went to work for Sean Hannity and was advised by Roger Stone.

Remember when a woman was paid to make allegations against Robert Mueller? Dr. Anthony Fauci? Yeah, this is why it smells like a set up.

Due process folks, let us give these ladies the benefit of the doubt more than Trump's victims, more than Gaetz victims, more than Epstein's victims (the little Baptist from Baylor, Ken Starr was in on that outrage too), and more than Christine Blasey Ford, 4500 tips, not one investigated. Oh, and Bret Kavanaugh was Ken Starr's leaker in Chief on Clinton. It's almost like there is a pattern here.
