Cuomo: ‘I’m not going to resign. I never harassed anyone’

Someone once accused me of sexual harassment in college and I
hadn't said a single word to any of the other students the
entire time I was there in the class the college counselor said
the harassment occurred in. I was so offended by the experience
that I never attended any college courses after that. Schumer,
Gillibrand, AOC, and others, don't believe in "innocent until
proven guilty" apparently?

Our enemies used to complain that the only reason why leftists
did not believe the sexual harassment allegations against Emmett
Till was because Till was "black". Now they are complaining that
leftists are not believing the sexual harassment allegations
against Cuomo either:

allegations from white women. That the history of white women
allegations is still given number one preference over anything,”

On the other hand, we believe all sexual harassment allegations
against Trump. After all, Trump himself admitted to them.

Kat Timpf: There are so many investigations into Cuomo, he has
to go
HTML https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKY9T2J2m6I
In Western civilization "innocent until proven guilty" is
something Westerners just pay lip-service to, they obviously do
not believe in it themselves. In Western civilization all you
need is a slew of accusations and an investigation against you
to be proven guilty.
The only time I've ever called the Police for myself is when
someone made a false accusation against me. I made sure the
truth got put down in writing and put into record, for the very
reason I stated above!
Did I mention all Westerners are repulsive people who should be
stopped from reproducing!?

Well, according to U.S. law Cuomo is still innocent. Sounds like

Cuomo has resigned, but Kavanaugh has not. Regardless of what
really happened in each case, Cuomo at least has the elementary
respect for his office to voluntarily prevent it from being
tainted by suspicion, whereas the same cannot be said of
Kavanaugh. Here is Cuomo on Kavanaugh from a while back:

If I were Cuomo, I would have offered to resign only if
Kavanaugh also resigns.

Consider also that the investigations into Cuomo appear to be
more substantial than the investigations into the Republican
politicians who (based on their own public statements(!) and
evidence uncovered by investigative journalism) have been
directly implicated in organizing a coup attempt.
However merited the allegations against Cuomo may be, the double
standards of who gets a (real) investigation and who gets
continuously 'pressured' until they actually end up resigning
are shocking.
