DailyKenn.com — Joe Biden has tacitly sided with New York's governor Andrew Cuomo by refusing to call for his resignation. Cuomo has been accused of inappropriate behavior by as many as eight women.
House Speaker and Democratic Party demagogue Nancy Pelosi has also declined to ask the governor to quit.
The action is in stark contrast to the posture taken by Biden during confirmation hearings of Clarence Thomas after Thomas was nominated for a seat on the Supreme Court of the United States. In 1991 Biden took a lead role in vilifying Thomas for allegedly misconduct with a former coworker.
Biden's 'wait and see' posture, pending an investigation, also contrasts with the far-left's approach to allegations brought against Brett Kavanaugh after he was nominated to serve on the high court.
In Western law, suspects are considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law, not until after an investigation is completed. Defending Cuomo's right to a fair trail is essential to all Americans who may face similar allegations.
At issue, however, is not so much due process as far-left hypocrisy.
When asked whether he agreed with other Democrats calling for Cuomo's immediate resignation, Biden said plainly, "I think the investigation is underway and we should see what it brings us."
With the exception of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., Biden's wait-and-see approach is not a common sentiment within his own party. New York Democratic Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand and Chuck Schumer joined New York Democratic Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Jerry Nadler on Friday in calling for their state's governor to leave his position as allegations of inappropriate conduct continue to emerge.
Pelosi on Sunday reaffirmed that she has "zero tolerance" for sexual harassment – but refused to echo their calls for his resignation until an investigation is completed.
