They're trying to impeach Andrew Cuomo for the wrong thing

The governor abandoned the state’s most vulnerable citizens, those least able to advocate for themselves and most vulnerable to the virus. While schools and public buildings were closed in order to keep infections at bay, Cuomo was introducing the virus into the group homes of the most susceptible populations: the elderly and developmentally disabled. He oversaw a massacre of the old and the disabled, sending them back to group homes and nursing homes that were incubators for the deadly virus. Meanwhile, the taxpayer-funded U.S.N.S. Comfort, a massive, hugely expensively and much-lauded ship meant to relieve pressure from New York City’s hospitals, sat empty in New York Harbor due to bureaucratic wrangling between the Navy and the City. Similarly, the Javits Center, prepared by FEMA to treat non-COVID patients, sat mostly empty due to logistical hurdles.

We must not forget that this happened on Cuomo’s watch.

I, too, am horrified by the allegations of sexual harassment, especially the two allegations that involve forcible touching. The governor has created a toxic workplace that deserves to be investigated. But it’s critical we keep in mind that while his alleged sexual offenses are dastardly, Cuomo’s most wicked crimes are more than alleged forced sexual misconduct. His administration played Russian roulette with the most vulnerable lives placed in the state’s care. And they lost.
