Oh, yeah, I forgot his brother was on CNN. That's going to be awkward.

CNN anchor Chris Cuomo told his brother Andrew to resign as governor of New York this week during the fallout over the elder brother’s sex harassment scandal, a report said Tuesday.

The host of “Cuomo Prime Time” spoke to his sibling over the phone and explained that the governor could not survive the fallout from a report released last week by state Attorney General Letitia James, according to The New York Times.

Wow. I didn't see that coming.
Usually, they stonewall until people get tired of trying to get a sensible answer.

The difference between this case, and other prominent people associated with similar incidents, is that this is the result of a formal investigation by the state's Attorney General, and not merely the word of people making accusations (either on their own, or others, behalf), so it is much harder to shrug it off as a "political hit job".

Had it merely been the females involved having their claims published in the media, he would likely have been able to attempt the usual "stonewalling", but the nature of the investigation lends considerably greater weight to the accusations than a simple "he said-she said" situation has.

The derivation is irrelevant when it's thrown at others as an insult, an attack.

Kinzinger and 9 other republicans appear to be the only members of their party who have balls to maintain some level of integrity

He also is not afraid to call out the hypocrites in the GOP who sniff the backsides of racists



I'd certainly prefer Kinzinger to a unloyal traitor like Tulsi Gabbard if she ever got nominated by the democrats.

How exactly is Gabbard a traitor?

Gabbard attacked Obama to score points with the Fox crowd, hoping to grab their vote.

She attacked Obama because he deserved to be attacked. He was worse than his predecessor Bush.

As Nathan Robinson and I argued a little more than two years ago, a post-presidency offers us the ideal heuristic for doing exactly that. In office, or so it has often been suggested, Obama’s fiery progressive spirit was endlessly stifled by a combination of events, GOP obstruction, and the inherent conservatism of the American legislative process. Having left such constraints behind, many believed, post-2016 Obama would now be free to do just about anything he wanted — meaning that the former president’s real self could finally surface from beneath the depths of institutional necessity under which it had hitherto been submerged.

This prediction turned out to be true enough, just not in the way many Obama partisans assumed.

Equipped with fame, wealth, and a vast reservoir of residual goodwill Obama now has more power to do good in an hour than most of us do in a lifetime. The demands of etiquette and propriety notwithstanding, he no longer has intransigent Blue Dog senators to appease, donors to placate, or personal electoral considerations to keep him up at night. When he speaks or acts, we can be reasonably certain he does so out of sincere choice and that the substance of his words and actions reflect the real Barack Obama and how he honestly sees the world.

It therefore tells us a great deal that, given the latitude, resources, and moral authority with which to influence events, Obama has spent his post-presidency cozying up to the global elite and delivering vapid speeches to corporate interests in exchange for unthinkable sums of money.
