Benjamin has set a new state record of being on the job for only 8 months before having to resign to, in his own words, \"focus his energies on explaining in court why his actions were laudable-- not criminal.\"\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EAlso, like Cuomo, Spitzer and Weiner, Benjamin \"looks forward to when this case is finished so he can rededicate himself to public service.\"\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EAt the rate New York Dems are going, his replacement will have also been indicted by then freeing up a spot for Benjamin to just go right back to his old job of helping criminals.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EAsked by reporters now about Benjamin's arrest, Hochul piously scolded, “Let’s focus on the fact that there are people in a hospital right now fighting for their lives.”\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EAnd some of those people were even shot because of her opposition to bringing back bail.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EYou can understand why Hochul and the Dem Albany establishment oppose bringing back bail for criminals or enforcing the law. The only people who support criminals… are criminals.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe New York Dem campaign slogan might as well be, \"Vote for Us, Until We're Indicted.\"\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ECuomo began his career as Attorney General of New York.

Hochul told reporters on Thursday.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EOn Tuesday, her confidence may have waned after Benjamin turned himself in to face justice.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EWhy did Hochul pick Benjamin? Let’s look at his credentials. In his failed bid for State Comptroller, the Harlem politician ran on a platform of defunding the police.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\"I support the movement to defund the police,\" he had \u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/brianbenjaminny\/status\/1351313996071235587?lang=en\"\u003Edeclared\u003C\/a\u003E. After a wave of shootings, the indicted pol falsely claimed that, “more police don’t lead to more community safety”.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EBenjamin's anti-police crusade was backed by former Women's March leader Tamika Mallory who claimed \u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/amsterdamnews.com\/news\/2021\/03\/04\/brian-benjamin-unveils-plans-fight-crime-reform-po\/\"\u003Ethat\u003C\/a\u003E, “Brian has already been an important leader in the Black Lives Matter movement.\"\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe politician in turn presented an \u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BrianBenjaminNY\/status\/943656078214094848\"\u003Eofficial state proclamation\u003C\/a\u003E honoring the Farrakhan supporter while hailing Mallory as a “freedom fighter like the ones we read about in the history books”.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EWhen Benjamin helped to bring a Black Lives Matter mural to Harlem, Al Sharpton was there. He was endorsed by Calvin Butts and the rest of the race-baiting royalty at the heart of city politics. By embracing him, Hochul hoped to get the support of Sharpton and the gang.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EBut it’s not as if the charges could have possibly come as a surprise to anyone with a pulse.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThere have been lawsuits, ethics charges, and allegations around him ever since Benjamin won a 4% turnout election that took him to the State Senate and then an appointment as Lt. Gov, a position he was as qualified to hold as Hochul, his former boss, or a small ball of earwax.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EMany of those scandals involved Benjamin's relationship with Harlem real estate developers and finance people whom he berated in press releases, but cozied up to and profited from.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E“I want to thank the entire village of Harlem who helped create this young man who’s going to help us lead the state into better days and prosperity,” Hochul said when picking Benjamin.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EHarlem hasn’t been a village since the 17th century.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EAnd the last Harlem politician to become Lt. Governor was David Paterson who had boasted, \"The only way I'm not going to be governor next year is at the ballot box and the only way I'll be leaving office before is in a box\" before he had to leave office anyway. Unboxed.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ENow Benjamin has made everyone proud by, among other things, accepting a $250 campaign donation from a 2-year-old. It may take a village to raise a child, but it takes a child to write a $250 check to the progressive enabler of criminals who is now allegedly a criminal.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EAnd the pro-crime movement once again loses one of its own to crime on the perpetrating end.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThat’s nothing new for New York politicians who couldn’t be left alone in a room with a locked safe or a baby with a lollipop without making off with the safe’s contents and the lollipop.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EBut as New Yorkers wrestle with an unprecedented crime wave brought on by the dismantling of the criminal justice system by police defunders like Benjamin who worked to eliminate bail, shut down prisons, and set criminals loose, this case is a reminder of why they love criminals.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe Black Lives Matter movement and the Left are thick as thieves because they are thieves.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EFighting for the rights of criminals was never really about race, it was about the entitlement of the sorts of people who lie, steal, and kill their way to the top and then want to help their own.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EIn the wake of escalating violent attacks due to Democrat pro-crime policies, like eliminating bail, Hochul and Benjamin co-wrote an op-ed titled, \"Don’t Blame Bail Reform; Do Improve It\".\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ESince Benjamin’s arrest, there has been no word on bail for the police defunder.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EWhen Governor Hochul’s turn comes, maybe she’ll be luckier.\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003E\u003Ci\u003E\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/sultanknish.blogspot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003EDaniel Greenfield\u003C\/a\u003E\u0026nbsp;is a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center.

Bill Clinton had described Cuomo’s father as a mafioso in a conversation with Gennifer Flowers. Clintonites in the media attempted to claim that the conversations were fake, with George Stephanopoulos eventually admitting that they were real, but arguing that “they were selectively edited in a way — to create some — some impression.”\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EWhat better qualification could there be for a position as a top journalist at ABC News?\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EWhether it was Clinton’s abuses or Cuomo’s abuses, the media has a history of denying the obvious for as long as possible until it becomes politically opportune to finally tell the truth.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe truth won't mean reporting honestly on Cuomo’s nursing home death toll or his role in the subprime mortgage crisis.

There’s a pattern here.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EAnd this kind of thing is practically a requirement for Democrat politicians in Albany.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EIn some cases, such as Jeffrey Epstein, the #MeToo issue is the issue. But with politicians, whether it’s Bill Clinton or Andrew Cuomo, it’s the topper on a layer cake of much worse crimes. Bad people abuse power in proportion to how much of it they have and top elected officials have a lot more scope for abusing power than movie producers or hedge fund tycoons.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe media is determined to help Democrats cover up for Cuomo, even as they’re trying to bury him by concentrating on the set of #MeToo allegations that are the least damaging to the Dems. That way the Sandernistas who are trying to take down Cuomo can smoothly step into his place. The party gets a shakeup, but the same old dirty business can continue on in Albany.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E#MeToo is only a symptom of the sociopathic abuses of power by Cuomo. The bigger issues, the bodies and the dollars, would do too much damage to the same corrupt Democrat system that had enabled Cuomo all these decades. And the system is protecting itself even now.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ENo one knew anything for decades, but now everyone always knew everything. Like old Stalinists after Khruschev’s speech, the former Cuomosexuals line up to denounce him.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe truth is that they all knew. And what they still know is a lot worse than what they’re telling.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EAfter all this time, the media still won’t touch Cuomo. Not where it could hurt the Democrats.\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ci\u003E\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/sultanknish.blogspot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003EDaniel Greenfield\u003C\/a\u003E\u0026nbsp;is a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center.
