There are still Democrats furious with Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand for saying that former Sen. Al Franken should have resigned over multiple sexual misconduct allegations — they thought he should have hung in there. But it looks like Democrats hold their leaders to higher standards; at least, that’s what The Atlantic’s Russell Berman has reported. Gov. Andrew Cuomo had no choice but to resign.
Democrats hold their leaders to higher standards than Republicans. When they abandoned the New York governor, he had no choice but to quit, @russellberman reports:https://t.co/mn5egAEW9E

Berman cites two Republicans — Donald Trump and Rep. Matt Gaetz — as proof that Republicans are much more lenient with their leaders. It’s sad that Cuomo and so many of his Democratic colleagues have been crucified.

Cuomo didn’t even go down for his worst scandal…just the one they had the appetite for. https://t.co/ouqrmzP4Zt

So we are ignoring the governors of Virginia and Michigan? Cuomo should have been arrested for the way he dealt with COVID.

Ralph Northam, Ted Kennedy, Bill Clinton, Andrew Cuomo (the part where his policies led to thousands of preventable deaths), Al Sharpton, you guys still pal around with folks like Louis Farrakhan and Jeremy Corbyn.

Democrats punished her for blaming Benghazi on a YouTube video by nominating her for president.

The first sentence of this tweet is on the same level as folks who claim that Obama's only scandal as a president was that he wore a tan suit. https://t.co/khoikURQjP

He did this for years, while the head of a sexual harassment activist group smeared victims, the AG said he broke federal and state laws, and he was allowed to give two weeks notice.
But "higher standards" https://t.co/h1MZvhVYdT

"Democrats hold their leaders to higher standards than Republicans."
Bill Clinton
Ted Kennedy
John Conyers
Joe Biden
Let's try again:
"Democrats hold their leaders to higher standards than Republicans only if there's another Democrat to take over."
— John Stephen Walsh. Yes, John Stephen Walsh. (@jswriter65) August 12, 2021
Democrats abandon their leaders when they are no longer useful and their replacement will reliably be another Democrat. That's it.
