Few things are more repulsive in liberal discourse right now than the Andrew Cuomo saga.
They're all now lamenting that he's everything they claimed Trump was: as if they just found out. They always knew it, yet they all supported & championed this dynastic heir *for decades*.
Like his brother @ChrisCuomo, Andrew Cuomo has a career for only one reason: his dad was Mario Cuomo.
He's always been an authoritarian bully and sleazy scumbag -- the kind that comes from life-long entitlement. Yet Clinton put him in his Cabinet and Dems cheered him for years.
Democrats did not discover a single thing about Andrew Cuomo they haven't always knows about him -- not one thing.
All that changed is too much proof finally seeped out to the public and made ongoing support for him unsustainable, so they're now all pretending to be horrified.
As many pointed out in reply, the Andrew Cuomo dynamic is extremely similar to Harvey Weinstein: powerful Dems knew for years, like everyone in Hollywood, what Weinstein was. It was only once *the public* found out did it become necessary to feign horror and distance:
How did the liberal sector of the corporate media talk about Andrew Cuomo over the last year -- even while everyone knew exactly what he is and always was?
