Progressive intellectuals explain how they could not see monsters in their own ranks because they were blinded by Donald Trump. The dazzle of Trump made them mistake Cuomo for a feminist hero.
He self-appointed himself as a feminist and even founded a bogus Women’s Equality Party to effectively endorse himself and beat his female challenger at the time. His scam worked. Organizations that champion women’s rights like Planned Parenthood backed him, even endorsing him over his female rival in the gubernatorial race, Cynthia Nixon. Cuomo is the con artist of feminist activism. He personally profited off feminism for political gain, in an effort to accumulate power and control over unsuspecting women.
