(15,909 posts)...no matter where you are on the range of responses to Cuomo, from "no big deal" to "come down on him like a ton of bricks!", is that you ask yourself if your response would be exactly the same if Cuomo were a Republican.
I do think we Democrats are much, much better at being even-handed and non-hypocritical than Republicans. But we're hardly all perfect either.
I haven't settled fully on a opinion yet. After watching Chris Hayes last night, I was in the "resign already!" camp. I don't think I've heard enough to be certain Cuomo's behavior was criminal, but it was creepy, and he should know better. But my "resign already!" feeling isn't fueled by the sexually inappropriate conduct alone, but what Hayes had to say about Cuomo's reputation as a bully in general. I have no sympathy for bullying behavior, and if that reputation is true, it puts "sexually inappropriate conduct" in another light.
