Back in March,. "I ask the people of this state to wait for the facts from the attorney general's report before forming an opinion," Cuomo said back then.
But on Tuesday, Cuomo was running down the investigation as a "biased review" of the facts of the case. Later he offered this: "Politics and bias are interwoven throughout every aspect of this situation."
Kissing people and touch their faces, "I do it with everyone, Black and White, young and old, straight and LGBTQ, powerful people, friends, strangers, people who I meet on the street," Cuomo said as the video rolled.
It's impossible to overstate what a bad idea this was. As The Washington Post's Ashley Parker noted on Twitter: "'I do it with everyone,' is an interesting defense of sexually inappropriate behavior."
Cuomo was so convinced that showing pictures of himself hugging and kissing people was a good idea.
"Cuomo included photos of Obama and Bush hugging *hurricane victims* in his 85-page defense, most of which is pictures." He also included numerous pictures of other politicians embracing people (without context), including President Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton.
