A lot of things happened. Here are some of the things.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) was evidently prepared for New York Attorney General Letitia James’ (D) bombshell report detailing his repeated pattern of sexual harassment of staffers and government employees.
Andy, releasing a video showing you being weird and handsy with all kinds of people wasn’t likely to help. It’s like saying you didn’t mean anything when you robbed the liquor store, because you do a robbery at every store you go into, it’s just who you are. Figure it this way: It’s 2021. If you don’t see that what you did was wrong, then resign just for being an amazingly slow learner.
The list of politicians, business people, celebrities etc ruined by idiotic commissions of sexual crimes is very long. Why in the hell a person can’t control their impulses and behave accordingly is an unsolved puzzle going back millennia.
I have to admit, going full pervy-uncle was not what I expected. I’m not sure why, but I didn’t think anyone would try that in 2021. (He should have just tried the “you knew I was a snake when you picked me up” line. Fox news types seem to be unbothered by that confession.)
That’s how I saw it. It’s this barrage of clips where he’s doing the thing he’s accused of doing. You don’t think, “Well, if he does it to an old man, then surely it’s OK if he also does it to an attractive woman.” Your impression is he’s just grabbing everybody, just throwing himself on them like Harpo Marx.
