>Cuomo's ally Whitmer is now asking whether there's a double standard Cuomo versus Trump.

>She's right, though not with the meaning she intends. An honest media would point out that no female staffers have accused Trump of impropriety in his time in office, whereas all of Cuomo's involve staffers in his time in office. As do most of Biden's, fwiw. Had Trump been accused of abusing female staffers in his time in office, there would have been a 3rd impeachment and wall-to-wall media coverage.

>Various other Dems have since come out calling on Cuomo to resign, but applying this back in time to the situation when you first posted, is the same as pretending that historic accusations of misbehavior are equivalent to current improprieties in office with all of the power imbalances and other career impacts that are so dismaying to feminists like us.

2018 - “I believe Dr. Ford’s testimony is very compelling. Only a political skeptic could find a reason to disbelieve her. What is her possible motive to lie?” - Cuomo

2021 - “I won’t speculate about people’s possible motives, but I can tell you, as a former attorney general who has gone through this situation many times, there are often many motivations for making an allegation,” - Cuomo

The irony writes itself.
