We decided to follow up our own take on Andrew M. Cuomo's claim to have been "vindicated" over multiple allegations of sexual harassment with these two pieces, which appeared Rolling Stone and in the New York Post, just to provide a full balance across the political spectrum. (If anyone asks, we would be considerered centrists.)
- A Very Delusional Andrew Cuomo Is Trying to Convince People He’s Been Exonerated of Sexual Misconduct
-
This analysis appeared in Rolling Stone. Here's a short excerpt:
Cuomo believes he’s been vindicated – or at least that’s the line he’s going with. “If you do an honest summary [of the scandal], which is what I get from people on the street, I have been vindicated.”
Cuomo is clearly referring to the decision by New York state prosecutors to not pursue criminal charges for any of his sex crime allegations. But not pursuing charges is very different from an exoneration, and prosecutors noted that they found Cuomo’s accusers to be “credible.”
It’s worth noting that Cuomo’s sexual harrassment case overshadowed several other alleged crimes he committed in office, like the massive coverup of nursing home deaths during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic.
In many ways, Andrew M. Cuomo's COVID nursing home deaths scandals is the other shoe that still needs to drop. Following that scandal is why we created the timeline and why we've continued updating it even after Cuomo resigned in disgrace to avoid being impeached over the allegations of sexual harassment by multiple women. From our perspective, it's nice to see the very-left-leaning Rolling Stone is both aware those scandals exist and conscious enough to realize something still needs to be done to address them.
Going now to a typically colorful opinion piece from the New York Post:
- Andrew Cuomo vindicated? Only in his delirious, dirty mind
-
This op-ed is by columnist Maureen Callahan:
Vindicated?!?
It’s the blink of an eye since Andrew Cuomo resigned — yet for Cuomo himself, the five months since his forced resignation is clearly a lifetime. Wouldn’t you know: He’s gone from #MeToo scourge to political martyr.
“I never resigned because I did something wrong,” Cuomo told Bloomberg News. “I said I’m resigning because I don’t want to be a distraction,” adding the dubious, data-free self-report that he’s been “vindicated.”
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: We are living in a horror movie where no monster is ever slain. They just keep popping back up like the soulless zombies they are, trying to terrorize us into submission.
Then she keeps hitting away, hard enough that if anyone thought Cuomo wasn't already brain-dead, they'd be calling a TKO. We've long been fans of the Post's sports coverage (is there anything better than their annual "Mets collapse" stories?), so we can't resist throwing in a boxing metaphor to close this timeline entry....
