> And now, he won't go down for killing thousands of elderly and the ensuing cover-up, no - he's going to go down (big maybe!) for being a sexual creep.
A politician killing a few (hundred) thousand people is rarely that big a black mark on their legacy, especially among their supporters.
People dying as a result of bad policy is one thing - people can hold the politician accountable at the ballot box (either next election or recall if bad enough). You can't always know a policy is bad before enacting it... that's just life.
Covering it up though, makes that process impossible.
Even when Cuomo realized this was a bad policy and was resulting in thousands of unnecessary deaths - he didn't reverse course... instead he doubled down, wrote a book, and won an Emmy - all while literally knowingly sending people to their deaths.
The very fact that the conversation surrounding Cuomo nearly always is focused on sexual harassment means the cover-up worked, and he got away with it.
Even now, as his own party (and the President himself) have turned their back to Cuomo, the conversation leaves out the cover-up.
Cuomo got away with it, sold a ton of books, won an Emmy, and will have learned nothing other than to not get caught groping women again. Wow...
