Since the Attorney General's report on the Cuomo investigation came out, there has been a lot of discussion on social media about whether the governor of New York should resign or not. Most say he should resign (and I concur).
But there are some Democrats who would rather make excuses for the governor rather than face the facts detailed in the report. Some say he should stay in office because Trump was not held responsible for his illegal actions. That makes no sense to me. Would you let a murderer go free because another one got away with his crime? Besides, it would be hypocritical of Democrats to try to hold Trump responsible by impeaching him, but let a Democrat get away with violating the sanctity of his office. That would put Democrats down in the gutter with the Republicans.
Others are saying that Cuomo should be forgiven because he's Italian, and Italians are just a demonstrative and touch-feely group of people. That makes no sense either. That infers that Italians are too dumb to understand there's a difference between appropriate and inappropriate touching. I don't believe that's true. I've known many Italian-Americans, and they all understood that difference.
Governor Cuomo is a sexual harasser. He should resign.
The voters in New York understand that. As the chart above shows, about 70% of them say he should resign, while only 25% say he should not -- and that includes a significant majority of Democrats (57%). In addition, 65% say Cuomo sexually harassed multiple women. And 55% believe he should be charged with a crime.
The charts on this page reflect the results of a new Quinnipiac University Poll -- done on August 4th and 5th of a sample of 615 registered voters in New York, with a 4 point margin of error.
I'm not excusing anything he did..but they let the president get away with worse shit..
