Andrew Cuomo\u2019s resignation.<\/p>\n<p>Carlson prefaced his comments by saying that he was loathed to defend Cuomo but noted that there were a few key questions that people ought to be asking \u2014 specifically with regard to Democratic New York Attorney Gen. Letitia James\u2019 motives. <strong><a class=\"text-black\" href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/08\/10\/chuck-todd-andrew-cuomo-run-for-office\/\">(RELATED: \u2018Live To Fight Another Day\u2019: Chuck Todd Says He Expects Andrew Cuomo To Run For Office Again In His Lifetime)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>WATCH:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Carlson began by asking why no one had <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/08\/05\/new-york-cuomo-assembly-democrats-impeachment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">mentioned<\/a> that Cuomo was a \u201ccreep\u201d in his first decade as governor, saying, \u201cIf Andrew Cuomo was harassing so many women, and doing it at the state capital in New York, how come we just learned he\u2019s been doing it? Andrew Cuomo has been in office for almost 11 years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Carlson went on to point out the fact that Lindsey Boylan, one of the women who accused Cuomo of sexual harassment, had not made the accusation publicly until after President Joe Biden was declared the winner of the 2020 election.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy did Lindsay Boylan wait two years to tell us what happened? This guy\u2019s the governor of one of the most important states in the country, so why didn\u2019t she pipe up before, say before the Emmy Awards? We can\u2019t know the answer to that but it\u2019s clear she picked a significant moment to share her allegations on Twitter,\u201d Carlson said. \u201cCould it be that the second that call was made, Andrew Cuomo had outlived his usefulness and it might be time to crush him and move on to someone who\u2019s easier to control? If you think that\u2019s a conspiracy theory, you don\u2019t live in New York, where that kind of thinking is common.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Carlson pointed out that New York was accustomed to \u201cpalace coups\u201d \u2014 and that a number of them had begun in the attorney general\u2019s office. Cuomo himself, as attorney general, had been instrumental in the investigation that ultimately took down Democratic New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer.<\/p>\n<p>Carlson then turned his attention to the investigation report, which detailed incidents that James said amounted to sexual harassment of multiple women and violations of both state and federal law.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe closer you read that report the more you are likely to notice that large portions of it are absurd. They don\u2019t make sense,\u201d Carlson said, pointing to one incident that detailed senior staff members sitting on Cuomo\u2019s lap at official functions. \u201cThat sounds kind of creepy, as hell actually,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>But then Carlson noted that another part of the report indicated that no one had felt uncomfortable with that behavior.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo they liked sitting in Andrew Cuomo\u2019s lap. Weird, but who are we to judge? Weirder things are happening right now,\u201d he added. \u201cHow is this harassment? How was this a violation of the law? She\u2019s the attorney general. Her job is not to pass moral judgment on the occupants of high office in New York, but to enforce the laws passed by the legislature.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Carlson concluded by noting that the <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/08\/10\/de-blasio-andrew-cuomo-resignation-tweet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">list of people<\/a> queuing up to run for governor was getting crowded \u2014 and he argued that most of them were worse than <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/08\/08\/nbc-panel-andrew-cuomo-meet-the-press\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cuomo<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAndrew Cuomo was an awful governor. It pains us to raise any voice in his defense,\u201d Carlson concluded. \u201cHe was a vicious partisan, he was a thug, but if we are being honest, he was not completely insane \u2026 He wasn\u2019t, say, Letitia James. He wasn\u2019t Al Sharpton, he wasn\u2019t even, pause and catch a breath there because it\u2019s so horrifying, he wasn\u2019t even Bill de Blasio. The most reckless and incompetent human being ever to hold elected office, a man who single-handedly discredits the idea of self-government. These people, just being honest, are worse than Andrew Cuomo. But because someone sat in Andrew Cuomo\u2019s lap, they may soon run the state of New York.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fox News host and Daily Caller co-founder Tucker Carlson weighed in Tuesday on Democratic New York Gov.
