Personally I smell a fish: [1]
According to The New York Times, 33-year-old Anna Ruch has claimed that Cuomo asked to kiss her at a wedding in 2019. In an interview Monday, she specified that Cuomo put his hand on her bare lower back.
Ruch said she pulled away and was “so confused and shocked and embarrassed” by the incident. “I turned my head away and didn’t have words in that moment,” she reportedly said.
A spokesperson for Cuomo reportedly referred the Times to a more general statement in which Cuomo apologized for things that “have been misinterpreted as an unwanted flirtation.”
The involvement of the New York Times here, fits with something that’s been building in the back of my head for a while now.
Remember first of all, that these are all Democrats raising charges against Cuomo. And the New York Times of course is the liberal paper of record, and would normally be the one defending Cuomo or for that matter any other Democrat. When’s the last time you saw the knives out against a fellow Democrat? When’s the last time you saw the New York Times going wall to wall on something like this involving a Democrat?
Ignoring who’s covering the story for the moment, let’s consider that this many people coming forward against a Democrat, all at once, doesn’t happen all that often, which of itself leads me to the belief that this is a coordinated attack on Cuomo. Several low-level Democrats and the press .. Including the liberal paper of record, the New York Times…all playing along with this? There has got to be some coordination going on.
Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy, but who’s responsible for the coordination? Who is pulling the strings?
My first instinct was the Clinton crime family. For the last 30 some odd years they’ve been the only ones who were powerful enough to pull this kind of thing off.
I mean, in that direction lies Jim Trafficant and Gary Hart to name but two… or if you like, Vince Foster and the remainder of the body count behind the Clintons. Not that they have a whole bunch of politically gained by eliminating Cuomo at this point, but there is always the motivation of revenge, vindictiveness. I can’t help but remember how vindictive the clintonista has been.
As with Hart and Trafficant, somebody has decided that Cuomo is too much of an embarrassment or at the least can be gotten out of the way fairly easily, to aid in someone else’s rising in power.
Certainly the Clintonistas still have a few teeth left to deploy.
And who else might it be? Obama, perhaps? Or perhaps whoever was pulling his string. and here’s where things start getting a little deeper.
And look, I fully admit I’m hip shooting here based on information currently available…
It’s been suggested that the AOC function of the party is going against everyone who is considered a moderate Democrat. (My stomach rebels at calling Cuomo moderate, but I see the point.)
Thing is, I don’t read the AOC faction as being quite that powerful. If they were, we would have heard about Pelosi being found in Golden Gate Park with one behind the ear.
But with that said, it would be interesting to do an investigation into the history of the people bringing charges against Cuomo. Their previous associations I think, would be very interesting indeed.
For me, that AOC scenario becomes problematic though, when we consider that the majority of them have the kind of intelligence that makes door knobs look like bloody geniuses.
I just don’t see them as having enough gray matter between them, collectively or individually, to pull off something like this without being told precisely what to do and when to do it, by somebody who is not upfront and in the limelight. As far as I can see AOC and her crowd are and always have been a circle of ineptitude and arrogance. As such they would certainly leave their fingerprints all over the knives stuck in Cuomo’s back. That we haven’t seen that kind of evidence yet suggests somebody directing this operation who is able to operate a little more subtly.
Understand, it’s not my intention to defend Cuomo. Not by any stretch of the imagination. Do I doubt these reported events happened? No. I’m convinced they did in fact happen.
But since when do we see Democrats prosecuting fellow Democrats for such offenses? Since when do we see these events covered in the New York Times of all places? And who is coordinating these efforts?
