I don't understand why our media is exclusively micro-focused on Cuomo, while not seeking out a single victim of Cawthorn and Jackson to speak out. WAPO spoke to 150 former Cuomo staffers - how many did you reach out to for the GOP Congressmen? Zero?

I mean if you live in NY, you know all about Cuomo and his temperament. But now you're delving into his temper, but not doing a single piece of reporting on GOP sexual assault? Yes we want to hear from victims. We want to hear from ALL victims, & ALL should he investigated!

I didn't vote for him because of his temperament-I voted for Nixon. But for crying out loud-we're in the middle of a pandemic-let the man do his job! Let victims be heard and let AG James run an investigation. The level of media bias in not covering Cawthorn & Jackson is insane!

We are never going to make real progress on this issue until ALL are held to account. Otherwise it's just a political blood sport and not about the issue, the victims and making change.

Do the right thing on vaccines folks. Wait your turn. People in underserved communities, those in a position to be exposed at work, and those who have pre-existing conditions need to go first.

Of course folks who are older and meet their state criteria should also have priority too.

But so many privileged white people are gaming the system. Stop.

And of course when you are eligible, please get vaccinated as soon as you can.

Cuomo speaking out for the first time, saying he encourages women to come forward, and apologized for what he did, saying he felt "awful" and "embarrassed."

Cuomo adds "I never touched anyone inappropriately," and "I never knew at the time I was making anyone feel uncomfortable."

Now we'll wait for Republican members of Congress, Madison Cawthorn and Ronny Jackson to acknowledge and apologize.

This is so disappointing. I have so much to say beyond the confines of 280 characters or less. Start with Cuomo should use his remaining days to lead a conversation on power dynamics and appropriate workplace behavior. He knows better.

Cuomo has done good work on campus sexual assault - and taken much credit for it. But he knows it is an important issue.

What now also needs a national discussion is why repeatedly we are hearing about predatory behavior by men in power against young women and men.

It is also sickening when politicians and others appropriate stories of victims for their own political vengeance. So transparent on those who could care less about the well being of the victims, or bringing about change.

The narrative should not be the lesser of 2 evils!

Oy, Trump's impeachment lawyer. They're not sending their best.

I will admit I had low expectations for Trump's legal team. Yet they are coming in below that.

I can't remember her name or what she said 🙄

The Chiefs should just say they won anyway. Maybe Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley can help.

Frankly, we did win this game. So our goal now is to ensure the integrity for the good of this nation. This is a very big moment. This is a major fraud in our nation. So we’ll be going to Canton. We were up 3-0, and they just kept playing, and we wanted it to stop.

We don’t want them to keep scoring in the fourth quarter and add the points to the scoreboard. Okay? It’s a very sad moment. To me this is a very sad moment and we will win this. And as far as I’m concerned, we already have won it.
