CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY AUGUST 6, 2021
STANDARDS ARE FALLING EVERYWHERE AS EVIDENCED IN THE CASE OF NEW YORK DEMOCRAT
GOVERNOR ANDREW CUOMO. HIS FUTURE WILL BE DECIDED BY THE STATE LEGISLATURE, WHOSE SPEAKER
SAYS HE IS GOING TO MOVE FORWARD WITH IMPEACHMENT.
CUOMO MAY BE TAKING A PAGE FROM BILL CLINTON AND VIRGINIA GOVERNOR RALPH NORTHAM.
CLINTON SURVIVED A SEX SCANDAL AND NORTHAM SURVIVED DRESSING UP IN BLACKFACE FOR A
YEARBOOK PHOTO WHEN HE WAS IN COLLEGE.
LIKE CLINTON AND NORTHAM, CUOMO, REFUSES TO RESIGN AFTER DETAILS OF INAPPROPRIATE,
POSSIBLY CRIMINAL, BEHAVIOR WITH AT LEAST 11 WOMEN WAS REVEALED.
ARE THERE POLITICAL ANGLES TO WHAT USED TO BE CALLED A SCANDAL BEFORE THE WORD LOST IT
S POWER? YES, THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF NEW YORK IS KNOWN TO DESIRE THE GOVERNORSHIP. BUT
THERE’S A LARGER POINT. THE SEXUALIZATION OF OUR CULTURE, BEGINNING WITH YOUNG GIRLS, ALONG
WITH THE LOSS OF RESPONSIBILITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY HAS CREATED A COARSENESS THAT MAKES
SEXUAL HARRASSMENT, SHOOTINGS AND CORRUPTION MORE PREVELANT. PREACHERS USED TO DO
SERMONS ON THESE TOPICS. WHERE ARE THEY WHEN WE NEED THEM? I’M CAL THOMAS.
