A hat tip to Simon & Garfunkel for today's headline. What silence am I talking about? Why, the silence of supposed feminists who often speak out against sexual harassment yet have chosen to remain mute regarding the despicable sexual predator Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
Former Cuomo aide Lindsey Boylan is the latest woman to come forward and accuse the Guv with sexually harassing her. His alleged offenses include inappropriate touching, innuendos, suggesting they play strip poker, and kissing her on the lips without her consent. She claims he showed her a box of cigars and made references to Bill & Monica. Disgusting. Many other women who work or have worked for Cuomo have complained about the toxic atmosphere.
But the supposed champions of women have shown cowardice and partisanship in refraining from denouncing Cuomo. You know who they are -- the usual suspects including Hillary Clinton, AOC, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, Vice President Kamala Harris, and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Selective indignation and double standards are to be expected from the Democrats, so this comes as no surprise. Remember during the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation hearings when Christine Blasey Ford made flimsy accusations against Kavanaugh and "believe all women" was the left's favorite meme?
Propaganda purveyor CNN is also part of the double standard, as their silence toward Cuomo is deafening. CNN's joke of a reporter Chris Cuomo is simply an Andy fanboy whose shameless reporting on his brother is beyond parody. Utterly lacking in self-awareness, he cannot be taken seriously when it come to his reporting on Gov. Cuomo and what goes on in New York State. Don't expect CNN to show an ounce of integrity; they don't have it in them.
The left can get away with a LOT of stupidity, hypocrisy and destructive policies, in part because so many of their supporters have been relentlessly dumbed down by K-12 schools, academia and left-wing media. But eventually, even the leftist indoctrination, reinforced by Big Tech, isn't enough to cover up the ugly truth. The millions of parents who are fed up with obstinate teachers' unions and the idiocy of long-term virtual "learning" for their kids is just one example.
So is the disgust and betrayal so many small business owners feel toward the governors, mayors, lawmakers, city and county officials and health officials who are relishing COVID-19 as a green light to endless totalitarian policies that are destroying livelihoods, lives and finances.
So is the shaming and ostracizing of conventional liberals such as Bari Weiss, who resigned from the New York Times because she adamantly disagreed with the intolerant, hard-left editorial staff on several issues. Let's be clear: Weiss is a lesbian and hates Trump. She's a died-in-the-wool liberal, but not a Nazi like so many on the left. She has harshly blasted the left's brazen censorship and intolerance toward alternative viewpoints. There are many others like her.
And mark my words: Huge numbers of people who thought they were liberals and gladly voted for Biden to get rid of Trump are going to be disillusioned, disheartened and disgusted about the Biden administration's kowtow to the loony notion of transgendered males "identifying" as females, then competing with females in sports, plus using the same restrooms and locker rooms. This is a warped, sickening development that will have dire consequences.
The insanity can only go so far before it is the floodwaters overspilling the leftist propaganda dam. That heinous dam cannot be breached soon enough.
