Elites Think The Rules Don’t Apply To Them, And Andrew Cuomo Is Just The Result
Slimeballs like Cuomo are merely the backwash of a system that has given up on accountability.
Not sexually harassing people should be a very, very low bar. In a country of hundreds of millions, it shouldn’t be hard to fill 50 governorships, 100 U.S. Senate seats, 435 U.S. House seats, and one Oval Office with individuals who possess some sense of common sense and decency.
