New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, head of the New York Women's Equality Party, because he thinks men can do that job better.
.
So you're New York Working Families Party (and nominal Democrat) Gov. Andrew Cuomo, and you decide that you need help with the ladies because you might underperform with them in the primary thanks to Zephyr Teachout. And as we know, everything Cuomo is doing is based on the hilarious pretension that he'll be a serious presidential candidate someday, so he must crush it this election. So what do you do?
.
Apparently, the answer is create a new party called the Women's Equality Party. And wow, Cuomo is leading the ticket! Which would be okay I guess if the rest of the party's slate was made up of women. But, uh, it's not.
.
The cynicism of Cuomo's plan to maintain his grip on the throne is rendered all the more glaring when you take a quick glance at the slate of politicians his pro-woman party is running: According to New York State's Board of Elections, eight of the ten WEP candidates are men.
.
And of course, one of those two women is Cuomo's lieutenant governor candidate Kathy Hochul, who loved to brag about voting with the NRA and against Obamacare dozens of times. Oh, well. The funny thing is, legislation focusing on just that, women's equality, would've passed the state Senate had it not been for the Republicans that Cuomo directly empowered.
