First off, the left-wing media are really jumping hoops to make everything about Trump, and the latest set of accusations are just a byproduct of that. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has quickly fallen from grace with liberal voters. Going from ‘their beloved leader’ to a ‘nana-killing’ creeper who refuses to step down.
His refusal to step down has become an embarrassment for his party. Rather than hold the governor accountable for his own actions, the mainstream media blames Trump…
I’m not even joking. Just take a look at NBC:
Chuck Todd kicked off his panel of loons by saying, “Democrats calling for Andrew Cuomo’s resignation only grows in New York. John Heilemann, Schumer and Gillibrand the latest. Basically, the only prominent Democrats not calling for his resignation outside the state of New York, I guess, at this point is the president and the vice president. I don’t know how Cuomo hangs on other than that doesn’t mean he still won’t try to hang on. How does this end?”
John Heilemann first blamed conservative media for covering the many accusations against Cuomo. He then went on to add that it’s Trump’s fault, “I think, you know, that the other thing that’s true is Cuomo is totally dug in. I think the likelihood of Cuomo resigning is close to zero. And I think, you know, he is following right now – uncomfortably for a lot of Democrats – he’s following what is seen now as the Trump precedent. You know, if you are determined enough, you are shameless enough, you can hold on.”
Just to be clear, they are refusing to the two failed attempts to impeach Trump on false grounds of collusion and incitement.
Host Lenhee Chen approved of the new narrative, “there were things that were done by Trump and now, in this case, that are being done by Cuomo that look very, very similar.”
Todd continued the spin, “Shame hasn’t worked for Trump. Shame [is] not going to work for Cuomo.”
Co-host Maria Teresa Kumar added, “I think that what John was saying was absolutely on the nose, that Trump basically moved the goalpost of what is proper and what isn’t. And I think that unless there is a massive recall for impropriety by the New York voters, he won’t step down. I think he’s doubling down unless something worst comes down the pike.”
Heilemann concluded that Cuomo is hoping Democrats will come and save him, “I mean, again it’s another part – another page from the Trump playbook. And I think it’s also – But it’s cognizant I think in Andrew’s mind – the Governor’s mind that New York is a Democratic state, but there’s lots – big chunks of New York that’s not – that are not as liberal as people assume New York is.”
