brush (41,533 posts)

I know I'm beating this to death but I find it hard to believe that Cuomo...

would reach into a woman's blouse and fondle her breast as the most recent accuser claimed. With the me_too movement so recent and the forcing out of Al Franken, I just don't think he'd be that dumb.

I could be wrong, but I still say investigate, investigate, investigate and let the chips fall where they may. If the allegations are proven, he must go. If not proven he survives like Joe Biden did against Tara Reade's lies.

Due process, no resignation. Complete the investigation. Have we learned nothing from the Al Franken force out?
