New York's GOP announce Cuomo impeachment resolution

"She was like so"

New York State Assembly Republicans finally announced an impeachment resolution against Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) on Monday. They believe he has lost all "credibility and trust" and now has an "inability to lead" the state in the midst of five sexual harassment allegations against him and even more damning was his mishandling of the coronavirus pandemic.

The impeachment plan was put forth by NY State Assembly Minority Leader Will Barclay along with others in the party.

"We’re going to introduce this resolution because we believe the time has come," Barclay said. "In order to lead this great state as governor, you need to have credibility and trust … and unfortunately, we feel the governor has lost that and now has an inability to lead."

He added that "there is been one bombshell after another."

"I don’t think I’ve used the term ‘bombshell’ especially this week, any time more in my life, it has been one bombshell after another," Barclay said, referring to the horrific week Cuomo had.

While Cuomo is facing [at last count] five allegations of sexual harassment and a federal probe into his administration’s tally on COVID-19 deaths tied to nursing homes, it's the latter that should not only be grounds for impeachment, but a ticket for an orange jumpsuit fitting.

"We had the AG report come out saying that the governor was underreporting nursing home deaths by as much as 50%," Barclay explained. "We had that secret political meeting where he had his top aides say they weren’t reporting the nursing home deaths because they were worried about a Department of Justice investigation—they were worried about the political fallout." 

So screw the elderly.

Barclay said that over the weekend, "Thirty members of the assembly majority" said the governor "ought to resign."

"As you heard the governor say yesterday, I’m not going to resign, if you want to get rid of me, start impeachment," Barclay recalled Cuomo saying. "But we think now is the time to act. We think it’s time to commence impeachment."

In fact, it's better that he doesn't resign because now we can expose his nursing home mandates during the COVID pandemic and show he was covering up what he did that led to the deaths of over 11,000 and possibly up to 15,000 elderly. 

And the stone cold audacity of Cuomo to have his staff belittle Fox News' Janice Dean who lost both of her husband's parents in a nursing home due to his stupid, authoritarian mandate forcing nursing homes to accept COVID patients whether their facility was prepared or not.

Barclay admitted that Republicans "won’t be able to force a vote," but said they would "keep pounding on this issue." 

Democrats and the media don't want to see Cuomo impeached over the nursing home scandal because it shows them to be "in bed" with the governor, even awarding him an Emmy for his 9 comedy routines with his brother, Fredo, on CNN and writing a self-congratulatory book while people were dying in his state. They look foolish now, but an impeachment would make it even more damning for them.

"We hope that the political pressure keeps getting greater and greater," Barclay said. "We’re hoping by doing this, we’re going to keep reminding the majorities that it’s time for them to act."

He added: "If they really believe in resignation, why not start the impeachment process?"

Cuomo is also facing calls to step down from Democrats, but again, it's mainly due to the sexual misconduct allegations which are nothing more than a distraction from the real issue.

Impeach him for the deaths he caused, then put him on trial for them so that justice can be served.
