    I have a hard time keeping up with all the names in American politics so I went ahead and looked this guy up

    Cuomo served as the 56th governor of New York from 2011 until his resignation in 2021 following numerous reports of sexual harassment.

    This is like the third sentence on his Wikipedia page.

        Not just covering up but iirc he had a direct role in them via a policy that forced nursing homes to accept covid patients to free up hospital beds, leading to a high number of nursing home outbreaks.

        Then this was followed by ignoring or avoiding questions about it during his daily covid press release updates.

          Yeah, I thought there was more to it, but I couldn’t remember what and didn’t want to spend the time looking it up, lol.

      Yeah, a lot of people here seem to have proverbial goldfish memories. A candidate can do something really bad a couple years ago, run again, and people are like “oh they seem cool”. I don’t know what it is.
