Rudy Giuliani misreads room and defends Andrew Cuomo, comparing harassment allegations to those against Trump

Rudy Giuliani has weighed in on New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s sexual harassment scandal — and unlike most politicians who have called on Cuomo to resign, has actually decided to come to the Democrat’s defence, even comparing the allegations to those against Donald Trump.

On Tuesday, New York Attorney General Letitia James announced that an independent investigation “concluded that Governor Cuomo sexually harassed multiple women, and in doing so, violated federal and state law,” and that the ensuing report demonstrates “a deeply disturbing, yet clear picture” and “conduct that corrodes the very fabric and character of our state government and shine lights on injustice that can be present at the highest levels of government.”

Giuliani, however, who is a former New York City Mayor and Donald Trump’s former attorney, is concerned that the “media” will find Cuomo guilty before having a proper trial, quite like what he believes also happened to Trump. “Now we will find out who really believes in the rule of law. It is very disappointing that some of the right wing protectors of due process for President Donald have convicted Cuomo on a report from 3 prosecutors who up until now were trying to frame Trump. I PRAY FOR WISDOM,” he tweeted.

“Cuomo may be guilty, but we used to have trials before convictions,” he continued. “That’s what Cuomo’s Democrat allies denied President Trump. There would be poetic justice if they did that to Cuomo, but it would be unjust, dangerous and entirely un-American.”

“The truth of the charges against Cuomo should be determined by a trial of an impeachment and/or an indictment, not by the media,” he concluded. “Also, the covered up allegations of sending the elderly to death in nursing homes, rather than to available safe beds, should be tried by a jury.”

Giuliani also wrote that James’ “trial by conference” marked the “end of Due Process and Constitutional Law.”
