I'll note again how stunning is the lack of outcry from the left (both overall and from NY dems, especially). Had a Republican been accused of even a fraction of this, they'd have been mired in a media scandal this entire time. But, the Dems have mostly just seemingly been ignoring it and hoping it'd go away.
It'll be interesting (at least to me) to see what happens over the next 24 to 48 hours and who on the left finally comes out of hiding in their political closet to publicly condemn Cuomo.

Well, it's not a full-throated condemnation, and it took a journalist asking him rather than him proactively releasing a clearly-worded statement, but Biden at least said Cuomo should resign.

I could see this strategy backfiring with certain websites: "BREAKING NEWS: Gov. Andrew Cuomo announces he's bisexual using Powerpoint slide show"

Got to give him credit for that. It's worlds better then what we've seen from a ton of other pols across the last five or six years.

Hilarious:
They interviewed like 175 people, all sorts of people, and apparently who Cuomo is just isn't in any doubt. He's a lecher.

Ew. Just....ew.
The more I read about these incidents, the more I see how consistent the descriptions of his behaviour are, which leaves me with little doubt that he's a serial dirtbag. I'm talking first year ballot, Hall of Fame creeper. I'm squicked out just reading what he did. I can't imagine how revolted these women felt.

Love the opening paragraph: Only a serious sociopath writes a bullshit book about how awesome they at handling an emergency during the emergency. Most politicians will, of course, brag and take credit about how they are handling an emergency, but it takes some brass cubas to cash in on that by writing a book.

Gotta say that I'm actually kind of surprised that he resigned. Given his obvious almost Trumpian levels of narcissism, I figured he'd remain steadfast and defiant in the face of everything, forcing the state Senate to try to remove him from office.
I'm also wondering how the lefty celebs who publicly fawned all over Cuomo as some amazing "sexy" leader are gonna react now. Seriously doubt any of them will retract or even own up to how rigorously they fellated him on TV and social media.

Can't let Biden off the hook either, given that he even called Cuomo the "gold standard" of governors.
