the kind of guy who thinks it can’t be sexual harassment if he didn’t use the word ‘toots.’ (Guess we have a type!)

March 2021

“The US still has a long way to go toward making a real recovery from the pandemic, but we’re entering a new phase. The fog is clearing and we can finally start scrutinizing the behavior of our leaders, including the ones we used to like but allegations of sexual harassment, bullying and unwanted advances have imperiled the career of the New York governor, Andrew Cuomo, in recent weeks. Looks like Andrew Cuomo is the biggest dirtbag New Yorkers have elected since … pretty much every previous dirtbag we’ve elected. Guess we have a type!” —Samantha Bee

“Allegations, in which female former staffers say Cuomo used his power to proposition them are disturbing but not surprising. Cuomo seems like the kind of guy who thinks it can’t be sexual harassment if he didn’t use the word ‘toots.’” —Samantha Bee

“Back in 2020 we were so desperate for a leader who wouldn’t tell us to go bleach ourselves, we turned our governor into a hero. The media was fawning over the governor’s competent coronavirus briefings, for which figures such as Ellen DeGeneres called themselves ‘Cuomosexuals’. We know Cuomo is not a hero. If we want to demand the best from our leaders, regardless of whether they’re Democrats or Republicans, we can’t treat them like we treat our food journals. We have to be honest about them, like we do in our dream journals. Just because Governor Cuomo stepped into a leadership void during the pandemic, doesn’t mean he gets a pass on his consistently shitty behavior.” —Samantha Bee
