Cuomo’s downfall sends the country a needed message

Cuomo tried this defense — “I now understand that I acted in a way that made people uncomfortable” — months ago, when the allegations against him first surfaced. It was unconvincing then and even more feeble — indeed, even more enraging — now. Cuomo is 63, not 83. He didn’t just slip up once or twice, calling a subordinate “darling” or hugging when a handshake would have been more professional. He made woman after woman, state employee after state employee, feel uncomfortable, demeaned and invaded.
