21 April 2021: A Mixed Message on Ethics from Leading NY Politicians

‘Thank you for being here’: Cuomo appears with state Senate leader for first time since she demanded his resignation

How seriously do politicians take their calls for other politicians to resign? This report raises that question on the part of the New York Senate Majority Leader:

Gov. Cuomo appeared in public with state Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins for the first time Wednesday since she called on him to resign over accusations that he sexually harassed several women.

Stewart-Cousins and Cuomo made the joint appearance in Yonkers, the Democratic Senate leader’s hometown, to announce that, starting Friday, New Yorkers over 60 will be able to receive the coronavirus vaccine at the state’s 16 mass immunization sites without an appointment....

Cuomo and Stewart-Cousins were even seen elbow-bumping before their remarks.

They say body language says more than words. Does Stewart-Cousins appreciate how badly she sabotaged her claim just a day earlier that she wants ethics reform?
