Yes, it’s all allegations; Cuomo has every right to give his side of the story. On the other hand, when Christine Blasey Ford accused then-Judge Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault, the governor insisted everyone believe her — and that Kavanaugh take a lie-detector test.
All right, governor: Take a lie-detector test.
More, the pattern here is unmistakable: Assemblyman Ron Kim, a fellow Democrat, says Cuomo called him at home and threatened to “destroy” him if he didn’t recant his charges against the governor for nursing-home misdeeds. Right on cue, the gov began to lodge accusations against Kim days later.
Others have come forward, too: In The Post this week, Morgan Pehme disclosed how Cuomo “terrorized” him in a bid to suppress a story set to appear in City & State, where Pehme was editor. Karen Hinton, another ex-Cuomo aide, blasts Cuomo’s “penis politics.” Mayor de Blasio calls Kim’s account “classic Cuomo,” adding he knows “a lot of people” who’ve suffered similar abuse.
