Cuomo’s Resign Clock is Ticking Away

If you thought the Chinese Virus was tough to get rid of, it can’t come even close to the survival techniques of NY Governor Andrew Cuomo. He could give that deadly disease some lessons in endurance and resurgence. At that, he’s a master, learning how to scratch and scrape and keep breathing under stress, from his Dad, former Governor, Mario Cuomo. Political Royalty does not bend to pressure. Their crowns are handed down from heaven above. “But,” you say, “Andy Boy is responsible for the deaths of what we think is 15,000 elderly during this crisis and has been accused of sexual misconduct by, at last count, 8 women who served under him. And their charges appear to be authentic, backed up by photos and witnesses. He’s got to go!” And you’d be right. All bets were that he would be gone by this date. No way. He’s still strutting around like a king. n arrogant one, at that.

Just last week he appeared at a mass vaccination site at Mount Neboh Baptist Church in Harlem getting his virus shot with former Rep. Charlie Rangel and the NAACP Prez. Hazel Duke, standing guard, praising him to the black community. “Thank you governor for all you have done, we stand with you.” She also referred to him as her son. Grass roots support he has. He was on TV daily, blustering, brandishing his self serving accounts, now seen as lies, of how he was battling and beating the virus. He’s a good actor. He actually received an Emmy award for his performances. But he was only acting, not serving the public who was owed more than mere words.

So who’s going after him? Strange as is seems, not the Right but the Left. Not the old, but the young Progressives who no longer need Andy to attack the Devil Trump. His usefulness as a sword is gone. He must now go. He’s in their way to a more liberal Albany. The Progressive Left wants higher taxes on income, capital gains and estates. All against the wisdom of Cuomo, who sees the flight of the wealthy out of his state to others, taking their assets, businesses, families and stability with them. He knows their loss leaves a huge vacuum to fill. We agree with him. But he has no one else to blame for his problems.

This nation is now obsessed with punishing white guys in power no matter their political views. The rights of women are in the ascent, their charges against men abusing their bodies must now go unchallenged. And Andy is one of the convenient political victims. But he’s a street fighter not a wimp. He will be the last to apologize in order to win favor with anyone. But we see no chance for him to escape these charges. In a sense, he’s fighting against time. Actually, in our eyes, he’s dead meat.
