Scandals reveal Cuomo known by New Yorkers to wider nation

Read full article: Scandals reveal Cuomo known by New Yorkers to wider nation

Kisco, N.Y. New Yorks attorney general has promised a thorough investigation of allegations that Cuomo sexually harassed at least two women. (AP Photo/Richard Drew, File)It was Andrew Cuomo’s Emmy-winning performance: daily televised coronavirus briefings in which the New York governor projected competence and compassion, helping to calm a nervous nation. To New Yorkers who have watched the Democrat for years, however, the allegations are consistent with how Cuomo maintains his tight grip on power. Assembly member Ron Kim, a Democrat who blasted Cuomo over those deaths, said Cuomo called and threatened to “destroy” him if he didn’t retract his criticism. AdWhile he started as a centrist, he’s since moved to the left — though many progressive lawmakers still view Cuomo with distrust.

Double standard? Gillibrand in spotlight after Cuomo scandal

Read full article: Double standard? Gillibrand in spotlight after Cuomo scandal

Gillibrand became the first Democratic senator to call for her colleague Al Frankens resignation amid multiple allegations of sexual misconduct in 2017. But Gillibrand and other top Democrats have stopped short of calling on New York's governor, Democrat Andrew Cuomo, to resign amid accusations of offensive behavior. Gillibrand paid a political price for her role in the Franken resignation and her tone toward Cuomo may reflect that. "They elected me.”A spokesman for Gillibrand declined to comment on whether the senator considered calling on Cuomo to resign. But Gillibrand has promoted herself as a feminist leader and champion of women's rights, and the Cuomo scandal concerns her state.

The Democratic governor is struggling through a sexual harassment scandal thats testing the limits of his partys support as Democrats grapple with their first political crisis of the post-Trump era. (AP Photo/Evan Vucci)NEW YORK – Democrats across the country celebrated New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo as the face of governing competence as President Donald Trump fumbled his administration's response to the exploding pandemic last year. Both of New York's Democratic U.S. senators have publicly embraced the state attorney general's nascent investigation into Cuomo's behavior. While Democrats across the country are not rallying behind Cuomo, few are calling for him to step down.

Rush Limbaugh, voice of American conservatism, has died

Read full article: Rush Limbaugh, voice of American conservatism, has died

Limbaugh, the talk radio host who became the voice of American conservatism, has died. Unflinchingly conservative, wildly partisan, bombastically self-promoting and larger than life, Limbaugh galvanized listeners for more than 30 years with his talent for sarcastic, insult-laced commentary. “We’re supposed to be horrified by the protesters,” Limbaugh told his listeners the next day after the Jan. 6 attack. AdRush Hudson Limbaugh III was born Jan. 12, 1951, in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, to the former Mildred Armstrong, and Rush Limbaugh Jr., who flew fighter planes in World War II and practiced law at home. He attracts more listeners with just his voice than the rest of us could ever imagine,” Beck wrote in Time magazine in 2009.

Al Franken gets show on SiriusXM

Read full article: Al Franken gets show on SiriusXM

Former Sen. Al Franken looks at his wife Franni Bryson, before walking to the Senate chamber to announce his resignation, Capitol Hill, on December 7, 2017 on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC. (CNN) - Al Franken, who left the U.S. Senate in 2018 following accusations of sexual misconduct, is launching his own weekly radio show on SiriusXM. The new show, which premieres Saturday, will feature conversations between Franken and figures in the political, entertainment, media and technology industries. The former Minnesota senator will also join the SiriusXM Progress team for special coverage of the 2020 elections, including presidential debates, primaries, and Election Night. Franken "will probably be very successful within the structure of SiriusXM because they're free of a lot of restraints and obstacles facing terrestrial radio," Harrison said.
