I know there’s stiff competition, but the dumbest thing happening right now is that people are pretending Tanden’s nomination was sunk because of racism/sexism and not the fact that she’s spent years calling the people voting on said nomination evil racist dirtbags.
Valuable life lesson here: If you call people soulless vultures, in public, for years, they may not be inclined to help you down the road!
Yes, very fascinating that the woman who said “The Republican Party is - amazingly- both morally and ideologically bankrupt” is not getting more support from Republicans! What could explain it?!
Must be racism!
Also don’t forget she was one of the original Russia hoaxers, too.
Yes really stunner that the author of this tweet didn’t get more up-votes from the GOP.

@NYGovCuomo put on a clinic in hypocrisy today during his press conference.
Here’s a side-by-side of his previous comments around sexual harassment, particularly in the workplace, vs. what he had to say today about himself.
Spot the difference?⤵️
First and foremost, let’s talk about zero tolerance.
Back in January 2018, Governor Cuomo was a believer in zero tolerance for sexual harassment in the workplace.
Well, apparently that only extends to people who aren’t “elected by the people of the state of New York” huh?
A few months later, about three years ago, Cuomo said that New York was “leading the way forward” and that “this behavior must stop” about sexual harassment.
Yet somehow it took 3 more years for Cuomo to figure it out I guess.
I was never holding my breath for Siskind to be a good faith actor but the sheer depravity of her content (this is only a sampling) makes it impossible to keep her off the thread.
Listen, my expectations for Vogue weren’t high, but just look at these headlines and ask yourself “is it any wonder @NYGovCuomo got away with what he did?”
