HE WAS STILL USEFUL THEN: When Cuomo Was Accused of Sex Harassment 20 Years Ago, Dems Defended Him: And the Clinton administration enabled him.

At a Senate hearing in which Gaffney made her case, warning of Cuomo’s campaign of dirty tricks, Senator Susan Collins and Senator Fred Thompson, both Republicans, were supportive. Meanwhile [Rep.] Tom Lantos appeared to be cooperating with the Cuomo smear campaign.

Rep. Henry Waxman, aggressively defended Cuomo, accusing Gaffney of “nit-picking,” and “petty” complaints that “defy logic and reason”.

Rep. Elijah Cummings demanded an investigation of Gaffney.

Shocking.

UPDATE: Just for the record, though, Tom Lantos was a Representative. Reference above corrected.
