The two inbred political clans even briefly intermarried when Andrew Cuomo wed one of RFK’s daughters as part of his presidential ambitions.

Cuomo’s predecessor as attorney general, Eric Schneiderman, resigned after being accused of choking women, but a Cuomo appointee refused to prosecute him.

Lt. Governor Kathy Hochul is apparently the only woman in Albany whom Cuomo didn’t get around to groping. New York’s female Democrats are as crooked as their male counterparts, but they are less likely to shove their sweaty hands where they don’t belong. That glass ceiling remains.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EReplacing men with women doesn’t clean up New York politics. It just swaps out monsters with poor self-control for monsters with better self-control. And that’s not what New York needs.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EWhat New York Democrats need is a real reckoning. And that’s what Cuomo’s quitting avoids.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ECuomo was a monster, but, like Bill Clinton, his treatment of women was a symptom of a much worse sickness. As civil rights vanished in blue states with rising coronavirus case numbers, he got to play out his worst megalomaniacal fantasies. People died and communities were terrorized. There was no accountability and there still isn’t. And there never will be.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EInstead of a real investigation of his crimes, Cuomo goes down as just another in a legion of Democrats, in the state and across the nation, who couldn’t keep their pants on. The parade of young female staffers sitting down for teary interviews may be real victims or they may not be, but the studios are haunted by the \u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/www.frontpagemag.com\/fpm\/2020\/04\/1-5-coronavirus-deaths-could-have-been-prevented-daniel-greenfield\/\"\u003Ethousands of ghosts\u003C\/a\u003E who truly belong in those chairs.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe nursing home patients who choked out their last breaths courtesy of the Luv Guv couldn’t make it.

Sheikh Rashid Ghannouchi of the local Ennahda Muslim Brotherhood movement was feted by the Obama administration. The Washington Post called him \"visionary\". It still does.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EOn September 11, 2012, a wave of Islamist attacks against American diplomatic facilities began in Arab Spring countries. While the Obama administration and the media lied and blamed a YouTube video, these were organized campaigns by Jihadists with the sanction of the new regimes that Barack Obama and future Biden administration officials had helped bring to power.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EWhen the Islamist attackers linked to Al Qaeda breached the outer walls of our embassy in Tunis, scaling them and waving their black Jihadist flag bearing the supremacist message, the Islamist regime shrugged. With the embassy on the verge of falling to the terrorists, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had to call President Moncef Marzouki, a political rival of Ennahda, and plead with him to send out his presidential guard and save the embassy staff.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe presidential guard stopped the assault while receiving little thanks from Hillary or the media which went on falsely claiming that the assault by the Okba Ibn Nafaa Brigade, an affiliate of Al Qaeda, was a political protest in response to a YouTube video about Mohammed.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EDoes Rep.

The killings were linked to a key figure in the Benghazi attack on the American diplomatic mission in Libya. (All the evidence that the September 11, 2012 attacks were a coordinated terrorist assault by some of the same players has not stopped the media from repeating the YouTube video lie.)\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EAfter being ousted, Ennahda bided its time. Meanwhile the violence continued. Last summer, while Americans were understandably distracted, Islamic terrorists blew themselves up near the American embassy in Tunis. It was a continuation of the Jihadist plots to seize the country and kill non-Muslims and secular figures. The Tunisian security forces tasked with fighting the Jihadists were steadily being infiltrated by a Muslim Brotherhood deep state.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EWhile its deep state was growing, Ennahda had adopted the Hezbollah model of operating through political front men to avoid triggering the same response that had previously forced it out of power. Tunisia was being hollowed out by the Muslim Brotherhood with its politics and its security forces having become puppets in the hands of an Islamist secret society of killers.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EBut once again Ennahda overplayed its hand and a new wave of popular protests exploded.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe massive rallies this year targeted Ennahda offices and called for the government led by its latest front man to be dismissed. With the mask of secret Ennahda rule stripped away and its puppet out of power, Washington D.C. and the media rushed to defend “democracy”.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EAnd by democracy, as usual, they meant Islamist rule, open or covert.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EMost local coverage in the region has been outsourced to Qatar’s Al Jazeera and the media has followed its Islamist line of accusing Tunisia’s president of undermining democracy. That. not at all coincidentally, is the same rhetoric coming from the Squad’s Islamist mouthpieces on the Hill.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EBut Ennahda was forced out of power, once again, by popular protests.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EWhether in Tunisia or Egypt, the Muslim Brotherhood was only forced out of power in the wake of massive popular protests. Islamists claim that popular protests sanction a change of government when it brings them to power, but not when it topples them from power.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe media upholds this same cynical line of reasoning without ever challenging it.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\"Democracy is like a streetcar. When you come to your stop, you get off,\" Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Turkey's brutal Islamist tyrant, once reportedly said.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ETo Islamists, popular protests are also like a streetcar. They board them once they begin and then suppress them once they take over. The message of the Tunisian street to Ennahda, not to mention Omar, Graham, and Tlaib, is that it will never be allowed to work that way.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe Biden administration, to its credit, has avoided Obama’s eagerness to aid the Brotherhood.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThat’s why the Washington Post’s Rogin op-ed was titled, “Biden must try harder to stop the coup in Tunisia”. The Biden administration remains sympathetic to Iran, but it’s too busy wrecking America to spare much attention for the rest of the world. The recent international trips by Biden and Kamala Harris demonstrated that both are weak leaders in no shape to either lay out a foreign policy or project strength abroad. The Biden administration continues to enable Jihadists from Israel to Afghanistan to Iran, but its appetite for confrontation remains limited.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EAnd that’s a good thing.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EBy Syria, even Obama had lost his appetite for military intervention on behalf of the Muslim Brotherhood.
