by Alex Berenson, Unreported Truths:
Five years ago, Cuomo rode Covid to power, media acclaim, and a $5 million book deal. But the truth, and his own brutishness, caught up to him last night. Goodbye, Andrew.
It couldn’t have happened to a nicer psychopath.
In spring 2020, as Covid panic peaked, Andrew Cuomo — then the governor of New York — was inescapable. His press conferences were required viewing for blue-state Covidians who feared they were one breath from a ventilator. Vaccine-loving fool Stephen Colbert and bad person Ellen DeGeneres called themselves “Cuomosexuals.”
Along with his fellow Italian-American Nooo Yawker, Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, Cuomo followed the science. He gave Americans the truth. They could trust Cuomo and Fauci.
Sure they could.

Last night, Cuomo faced humiliation.
Despite massive spending on his behalf, he lost the New York City’s mayoral Democratic primary to Zohran Mamdani, a 33-year-old socialist whose campaign consisted mostly of fantasyland promises.
Cuomo’s loss reflects poorly on New York’s Democratic voters, who apparently hate that the city has held on to enough rich residents to fund its crazily expensive government and thus avoid the crime and dysfunction that’s wracked Chicago and Los Angeles.
It reflects even more poorly on him. Cuomo was supposed to be the grown-up candidate. Instead he’s become the lecherous uncle who stayed too long at the party.

(Those were the days. Cuomo, spring 2020. Just a man in a windbreaker, talking about ventilators as he negotiated a $5 million book deal.)

The lechery is real. To steal an old joke, Cuomo is definitely old enough to remember when harass was two words. (Her-ass! Geddit? GEDDIT?)
He resigned in disgrace in August 2021, just a week after New York’s attorney general posted a 165-page report on his many, many misdeeds. It’s filled with tidbits like this:
[Cuomo] asked her to look up car parts on eBay on his computer, which she had to bend over to do, while wearing a skirt and heels, as [he] sat directly behind her in his office, which made her uncomfortable.
Gee, I can’t imagine why that would make her uncomfortable.
Ayy, babe? My GTO needs a new stick shift, see what I’m saying?

(Maybe you can help me rub it too, see what I’m saying? My GTO, I mean. Cause there are places I can’t reach, I’m a little stiff. See what I’m saying? I bet you do!)

Ironically — or not — despite his hands-on approach with his female staff, Cuomo was not known as a people person.
Politico called him “a governor who finds it distasteful to interact with the unpredictable masses and his fellow politicians.” His dislike of face-to-face campaign was widely viewed as the reason he didn’t enter the Democratic presidential primaries in 2020.
Then came Covid.
Suddenly Cuomo was a hero for our time.
