WORST MAY BE TO COME, GOV!

ONE down. One to go. Now that Andrew Cuomo has resigned, his brother, Chris, must be next.

They are, after all, both guilty of gross ethics violations.

Before his “long-planned vacation” this week, it had been positively Orwellian to watch, night after night, CNN’s highest-rated prime-time host blatantly ignore this huge, developing bombshell of a story, simply because he’d rather not — while informing upper management that he would continue to advise his brother, who also faces criminal charges and civil lawsuits.

I highly doubt Andrew’s resignation will impact Chris’s advisory status. His big brother, after all, is still in crisis.

Chris “promised not to discuss Andrew Cuomo’s strategic response to the scandal with any government official besides the governor himself,” The New York Times reported. What integrity.

Think about this: Chris Cuomo, who curiously still derives power and status from his disgraced and deposed brother, still gets to make his own rules.

What a farce. What a display of arrogance and entitlement. Not a shred of mortification or humility.

But hey, those are the Cuomo brothers for you.

Not since the Kennedys has America been treated to such callous disregard by such a Democratic dynasty — to say nothing of the appalling treatment and dismissal of victimized women.

Chris Cuomo, as we learned in the AG’s report, gave his brother advice at the height of his sexual-harassment scandal. He was also given confidential information he had no business having, and secretly made decisions that directly impacted state employees — yet he has been held to no account.

He helped draft one of his brother’s denials. It’s all there in e-mail form.

What does this say about Chris Cuomo’s view of women?

After all, as a right-thinking member of the liberal elite, shouldn’t Chris, too, believe all women? Or at least the multiple women who have come forward with incredibly similar stories, speaking of not just sexual harassment but bullying by the governor?

Women who say they were terrified to come forward lest they become the focus of Andrew’s wrath, a pattern of behavior stretching over years, even post-Harvey Weinstein?

Isn’t it incumbent on Chris Cuomo to cover this story?

Interesting that none of Chris’ female colleagues at CNN have said one word publicly. Tells you something about the corporate culture there, doesn’t it?

Only Jake Tapper felt comfortable enough to criticize Cuomo’s continued role at the network, and even he trod lightly, telling The New York Times in May that Chris “put us in a bad spot” in ignoring his brother’s scandal on-air.

“I cannot imagine a world in which anybody in journalism thinks that was appropriate,” Tapper said.

I suspect for someone like Jeff Zucker — a Chris Cuomo loyalist and living embodiment of the old boys-will-be-boys network — secretly slandering female victims of sexual harassment, even in the #MeToo era, just doesn’t rise to a fire-able offense.

Seriously, not since The Washington Post’s Ben Bradlee carried JFK’s filthy water has there been such a high-profile, pathetic display of servility to a Democratic dynasty — one that, like the Kennedys, is all a sham.

And there’s so much more cause to fire Chris Cuomo. Consider:

Secretly availing himself of gubernatorial privilege in getting tested and treated for COVID-19 — information he did not share with his viewers, who he still continues to lecture nightly about the virus.

At the height of the pandemic in New York, Chris and Andrew laughed it up nightly on Chris’ show — despite Chris pledging long prior never to cover his brother in any capacity — as Andrew sent elderly nursinghome patients back to their certain deaths, nary a word on “Cuomo Prime Time.”

Anyone who was in New York City while this was happening knew the outcome — that these elderly people were all going to spread and die of COVID. You didn’t have to be a virologist or a public health official to know Andrew considered the elderly expendable.

For Chris Cuomo to obfuscate such human carnage is inexcusable. To make his brother the monster palatable — huggable, even — to mainstream America is egregious.

Teasing Andrew about “Cuomosexuals” and his dating life while knowing who his brother really was — you can’t tell me Chris had zero clue — is to be complicit in this entire travesty.

Is it any wonder so many Americans don’t trust the mainstream media?

Let’s not forget Chris faking his own emergence from quarantine on-air, despite The Post reporting his wanderings around the Hamptons, in one case picking a fight with a civilian who dared question why Chris would be outside, maskless, while infected.

“Who the hell are you?” Chris ranted at this peon. “I can do what I want!”

Easy to see why he feels that way. Chris makes $6 million a year doing and saying whatever he wants on CNN with zero repercussions — at least, for now.

His great protector Zucker is gone at the end of the year, a decision announced in February.

In the meantime, if there’s anyone at CNN with more common sense — let alone a commitment to actual journalism or saving the brand — let Chris make this easy on you.

“I don’t like what I do professionally,” Chris said on his XM radio show in April 2020, an epiphany he had — of course — post-COVID. “I don’t think it’s worth my time.”

Someone, anyone — brother out. help a
