On Monday, Andy officially threw his giant Q-Tip in the ring and ran a TV ad, “Politics vs. The Law” claiming that he was the victim, not the women he allegedly victimized with his groping and clumsy come-ons and it was all a political hit-job on him. So why did he resign in disgrace?
The ad consists of snippets from TV reports that highlight recent decisions by five district attorneys to not bring criminal charges against Cuomo for sexual harassment. It does not mention why these district attorneys did not want to go forward, but let's not forget, Fredo lifts weights and likes to think of himself as a tough guy who loves his big brother. People going after Andy might have an accident or some other catastrophic misfortune.
“Political attacks won. And New Yorkers lost a proven leader,” the narrator lies, as a picture of the Democrat who was responsible for sending elderly Covid patients into nursing homes which killed over 5,000 residents, appears signing papers.
Not surprisingly, the ad forgets to mention that the prosecutors said they believed the women’s claims were credible, while concluding that they could not prove charges beyond a reasonable doubt based on current law.
And Fredo knew where the attorneys general lived.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s “Politics vs. The Law” ad takes aim at state Attorney General Letitia James’ investigation.Andrew Cuomo for New York. It's understandable that he would take aim at her because she clearly had hopes to get the chance to run for Andy's old job and getting rid of him would clear the deck.
Despite him getting out of criminal prosecution, the ad does not dispute that he violated the civil sexual harassment policy he championed and put in place. Nor does it claim that he is not a scumbag who used his position of power over the 11 women to attempt having sex with them, one of whom is a state trooper.
“Accusations fly around the world at the speed of light, but the truth crawls at a snail’s pace,” said Cuomo spokesman Rich Azzopardi, who apparently paraphrased a quote from London preacher Charles Haddon Spurgeon in 1855 who said:
"If you want truth to go round the world you must hire an express train to pull it; but if you want a lie to go round the world, it will fly; it is as light as a feather, and a breath will carry it. It is well said in the old Proverb, ‘A lie will go round the world while truth is pulling its boots on.’"
“We will continue to communicate the facts to New Yorkers: The AG knowingly and willfully ignored evidence of perjury, witness tampering and extortion, and hid exculpatory evidence when she misled the public in her sham report last August,” Azzopari said.
So Cuomo, who never admitted any responsibility for the thousands of covid death in nursing homes, also didn't admit culpability in the sexual harassment allegations.

The Cuomo campaign account is paying for the “significant” ad buy appearing on broadcast and cable TV and digital platforms.
If he wins whatever position he might run for, his constituents will get what they deserve, good and hard.
