New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo was on a roll. In 2006 Cuomo was elected New York state attorney general without breaking a sweat.
In 2010, then President Barack Obama passed the word to New York state’s incumbent black governor David Paterson to step aside and let Cuomo run for governor.
In November 2010, when Democrats were getting shellacked from coast to coast, Cuomo won in a landslide. In 2014 and again in 2018, Cuomo was reelected comfortably.
In 2020, Cuomo was so manfully omnipresent during the COVID-19 crisis that his Hollywood groupies coined the term “Cuomosexual” to describe their outsized affection.
One such groupie, talk show host Ellen DeGeneres, tweeted in late April 2020: “Andrew Cuomo has emerged as a leader many people are looking to for strength. I’m so happy he’s on my show this Thursday.”
Alpha males were back in vogue. The sycophancy escalated. In November 2020, the International Academy of Television Arts and Sciences gave Cuomo the International Emmy Founders Award for his daily press briefings.
Then in December 2020, a month after the Democrats “elected” the mentally unstable Joe Biden president and the erratic and unlikeable Kamala Harris vice president, Big Media turned on its golden boy.
The fact that Cuomo more or less killed thousands of grannies and then lied about it did not disturb the Democratic base nearly as much as did the newly discovered toxicity of his masculinity.
The downfall started with a December 2020 tweet from Lindsay Boylan, a former Cuomo aide then running for Manhattan borough president. “I could never anticipate what to expect: would I be grilled on my work (which was very good) or harassed about my looks,” she tweeted. “Or would it be both in the same conversation?”
Boylan had tweeted unfavorably about Cuomo before, but on this occasion, the New York Times picked up the tweet and ran with it.
The paper found the story of Cuomo’s vaguely inappropriate comments more newsworthy than the story of Joe Biden’s sexual assault of intern Tara Reade, let alone the newest tale of Hunter Biden’s depravity.
The word was out. Cuomo was expendable. Coumosexuals turned Cuomophobes overnight. As new accusers came forward, Hillary Clinton responded in a March 1, 2021 statement, “These stories are difficult to read, and the allegations brought forth raise serious questions that the women who have come forward and all New Yorkers deserve answers to.”
Ah yes, Hillary. Top cop on the sexual harassment beat, the New Yorker’s Ronan Farrow smelled blood. In a lengthy profile of Boylan, Farrow wrote: “Since childhood, Boylan had idolized Hillary Clinton. She once waited in line for hours to have a photo taken with her, an experience that she said ‘changed my life.'”
In that same article, however, Boylan expressed dismay at Hillary’s tempered response to the accusations against Cuomo, who had served as HUD secretary in Bill Clinton’s second term.
“There’s no way you don’t know who this man is if you’ve worked with, or around, him for decades,” Boylan told Farrow.
The politically savvy Boylan was 14 when Clinton was impeached for his role in the Monica Lewinsky affair. As Trump made clear throughout the 2016 election, Hillary served as Bill’s enabler in chief for his sexual misadventures up to and including rape.
Boylan had to know this. And now she was publicly disowning Hillary for her entirely appropriate response to the Cuomo accusations?
As if to highlight the distance between Boylan and Clinton, Fox News followed up a day after the Farrow article with a story headlined “Cuomo accuser Boylan says Hillary Clinton is no longer her personal ‘hero’ after her response to allegations.” This was headline news?
In true-life murder mysteries, the killer often gives away the game by cleaning the crime scene much too vigorously. Just speculating here.
The Democrats and media insiders know that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are unlikely to last four years together. One or both may go.
Should Biden leave office, willingly or otherwise, Harris will become president. This is a given. Article II, Section 1, Clause 6 of the Constitution makes clear that in “case of the removal of the President from office, or of his death, resignation, or inability to discharge the powers and duties of the said office, the same shall devolve on the Vice President.”
The Constitution, as written, did not address what happens next. The 25th Amendment, adopted after the assassination of President Kennedy, answered that question, at least in principle.
It reads, “Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress.”
If either Biden or Harris steps down or is forced out before January 2023, a Democrat-controlled Congress will be able to dictate the replacement.
That replacement will, in turn, dictate terms to either the feeble Biden or the feckless Harris and prepare to run for 2024.
Before December 2020 there would have been no stopping rock star Andrew Cuomo. During four election cycles and 10 years in office, the media noticed nothing awry in the governor’s office. Even during the hysteria post-Weinstein, Cuomo’s star still shone brightly.
Now, he’s a monster. Now, that VP opening will be up for grabs. My suspicion is that Hillary and her feminist friends are already measuring the Oval Office for drapes.
