You forgot his "Best Selling" braggadocios book about how great he handled COVID-19, including his decision to send thousands of elderly to their deaths. It's one thing to make a policy blunder and deal with the consequences... It's another thing entirely to cover it up, lie, and suppress just to cling to power. Just reflect for a second... the media cooed at how great this man was and how he was going to be the next President. 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. What a world...

  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...
