Andrew Cuomo Resignation Megathread

[NewYorkExpress]

Chris Cuomo apparently encouraged his brother to resign.

CNN’s Chris Cuomo said on Monday that he had urged his brother, Gov. Andrew Cuomo of New York, to resign — something he “never imagined ever having to do.”

Coming off a weeklong, regularly scheduled vacation, Cuomo addressed his brother’s resignation at the end of his Monday night show, repeating what he’d told viewers before — that it has never been easy being a journalist in a political family. He mentioned having his brother on his show early on in the coronavirus pandemic for “short-lived” appearances, and reminded viewers that CNN has a policy that doesn’t allow him to report on the New York governor because of a conflict of interest.


“And they were” short-lived, Cuomo said. “That was over a year ago, long before any scandal.”


Andrew Cuomo will officially step down next week, more than two weeks after a report from the New York attorney general’s office found that he had sexually harassed nearly a dozen women.

On Monday, Chris Cuomo went on to address media reports that called him an “adviser” to his brother.

“I can’t be objective when it comes to my family, so I never reported on the scandal,” he said at the end of the show. “And when it happened, I tried to be there for my brother. I’m not an adviser. I’m a brother. I wasn’t in control of anything. I was there to listen and offer my take. And my advice to my brother was simple and consistent. Own what you did. Tell people what you’ll do to be better. Be contrite. And finally, accept that it doesn’t matter what you intended. What matters is how your actions and words were perceived.”

If CNN doesn't fire Chris Cuomo, I might finally switch over to MSNBC, despite the fact the quality of their reporting on international news is atrocious.

Uh, how is what he did here wrong? His brother should resign and he encouraged him to do the right thing.

Chris Cuomo was meddling in this scandal from the moment it broke.

He's shown an astonishing lapse of journalistic ethics, and even doing what looks like the right thing here is still a lack of journalistic ethics, since as a journalist, he should not be advising his brother on anything political.

That's a pretty big ask that you want him to just not discuss at all with his brother one of the biggest things that's happened in his life. As he said, he can't be objective about it so he never reported on it, which is a pretty sane position I think.

That's exactly what I want from him, and from pretty much any other journalist who covers politics.

If say...Rachel Maddow had family members in elected office, I wouldn't want her advising them on things like this either.

Thankfully it's not what CNN wants from him.

The man doesn't deserve a taxpayer-funded pension, let alone $50K/year's worth, but at least this essentially serves as confirmation that he won't just oh-so-conveniently forget to submit his formal letter of resignation by midnight on Tues.

In that case he couldn't either be objective re:Cuomo's handling of the pandemic, but he did report on it. False [as the rest of the Democratic Media], cause he covered up the Nursing Home Scandal.

You can't have it both ways. Fredo should be fired, but he likely won't be.

I'm not having it both ways. Convince me he did something wrong on that and maybe I'll think he should be. Reporting on it isn't the same as covering it up.

I'm kind of surprised it's only 50k annually. Expected much more. That said, the dude likely continues to make tons of $ from shady book deals, paid speeches and much more. And he's got 18 million cash in his campaign war chest. Perhaps he'd better use it for upcoming legal fees etc.

What?

The fact, that so called Journalist choose to report a "good" stuff on his brother, but not bad one, because muh he can't be objective, doesn't ring a bell? Ok, all right.  Journalistic ethics, anyone?

Ok I think your confusing sentence was saying Andrew covered up the nursing home scandal not Chris.

Hands up, quick reminder: Today is Mr. Cuomo's last day in office.

[The Dowager Mod]

He left his dog at the mansion.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

He left his dog at the mansion.

I would be in HUGE trouble if I say what I thought about him in this instance.

[President Johnson]

Cuomo's final remarks (still denies any wrongdoing):

[MR DARK BRANDON]

He left his dog at the mansion.

I’d get banned if I said what i thought about him

[Progressive Pessimist]

Hopefully Kathy Hochul will adopt the dog and serve as a metaphor for what New York could be under her leadership instead, ideally.

[CookieDamage]

I'm ready

CUOMO IS GONE!!!
