AP Photo/Richard Drew Why should any Democratic politician take responsibility for their behavior, when they can just blame the consequences of such conduct on cancel culture ? This seems to be former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s line of thinking, now that he has had time to reflect on how his political downfall is not his fault.
While giving remarks at a Brooklyn church, the former governor, who resigned last year after being credibly accused by multiple women of sexual misconduct in the workplace, insisted his ouster was the result of “the cancel culture mentality,” and reiterated that he never meant to be inappropriate with various women. After saying he went through “a difficult period the past few months,” he recounted how after he stepped down, “the press roasted me, my colleagues were ridiculed, my brother was fired, it was ugly” and said, “it was the first time that I was glad that my father wasn’t here so he didn’t have to see it.” The former governor also directly addressed the allegations that were made against him by multiple female staffers and said the problem was that his behavior had not changed over 40 years despite a “new sensitivity” among younger generations. Cuomo repeated comments he made as the accusations surfaced against him last year. “No one ever told me I made them feel uncomfortable and I never sensed that I caused any discomfort to anyone, I was trying to do the opposite. But I understand that was my error,” he explained.
“But the political sharks in Albany smelled blood and exploited the situation for their own political purpose,” he continued.
The former governor also said “prosecutorial misconduct” played a part in his eventual ouster.
“With cancel culture, we now live in a frightening new world where any accusation can trigger condemnation without […]
Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
