7. Trump was a disgrace

Cuomo should be investigated. And if all this is proven true, he should be removed from office. Because if this is all true, then it's a disgrace.

I don't want an asshole to stay in office because the other side did it.

If we had a Trump like figure who was a democrat, I would be all over getting him out, too. I don't know that Cuomo is quite there, but this isn't GOOD stuff.

I agree. The timing is very suspicious. Rhiannon12866 Mar 2021 #1
