The Witch Hunt Party in the Looking Glass
Democrats should take a good look in the mirror.

There was more reluctance than indignation in President Joe Biden’s voice when he told reporters Tuesday that New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo should resign. His remarks occurred hours after the Empire State’s attorney general, Letitia James, announced that investigators found Cuomo had sexually harassed a number of state employees and his behavior created a “hostile work environment.”
Biden didn’t have much of a choice. In March, he told ABC News he’d push for Cuomo’s resignation if an investigation established guilt. If that happened, Biden added that he thought Cuomo “probably” would be prosecuted as well.
James is leaving the decision with Albany police to press a criminal charge (or not) against the governor for allegedly grabbing an aide’s breast. (Victims are free to sue for damages.)
Biden would not say that he supported impeachment. He hadn’t read the 168-page report — so he wasn’t sure what to make of it.
I did read the report, and it makes a compelling, well-documented case that Cuomo manhandled female staffers despite his party’s and his ostensible zero tolerance for sexual harassment.
