4 May 2021: The Gaslighting Governor

How Cuomo Mirrors Trump

According to Psychology Today, "gaslighting is an insidious form of manipulation and psychological control." Writing in the New York Daily News, political commentator S.E. Cupp calls out Governor Cuomo for gaslighting the public.

... Cuomo is telling New Yorkers not to believe the results of an independent investigation into his alleged sexual misconduct.

“I’m not telling anyone to have faith in anything,” he said in a briefing on Monday. “Everybody makes their own decisions.”

You read that right: Cuomo is intentionally sowing seeds of doubt in the integrity of Attorney General Letitia James’ investigation. And to hammer the point home, he offered up as possible “proof” the totally unfounded rumors that she is considering a run for governor in the next Democratic primary.

This, after just last month calling James a “very competent” AG who should be allowed to “do her job.”

It was, needless to say, a one-two sucker punch to his alleged victims, the women who came out to tell their stories and are looking for some sort of justice to be done.

It was also an insult to New Yorkers, who deserve better than a governor who tells them not to trust the very person he endorsed for the job.

We're pretty sure Governor Cuomo is boxed in by the previous lies his administration has been telling the public. At this point, he can only repeat the lies he and they have told. Only now they have to do it more loudly.
