Sean Hannity vows he won't rush to judgment on Cuomo harassment scandal like 'media mob' did to Kavanaugh
Fox News host contrasts silence of top Democrats now with outcry over Kavanaugh claims
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is under fire over allegations of sexual harassment and making inappropriate advances, but "Hannity" host Sean Hannity vowed Monday he will not jump to judge until the Democrat is proven guilty.
"Unlike the media mob, Big Tech, Democrats, we’re not going to rush to judgment on this show," he said. "We won’t do it.
"We are consistent. We’re independent. We believe in the presumption of innocence and due process and that’s why we end up being right so often."

"Allegations do need to be investigated; due process needs to be afforded," he said. "It matters in this country. But you know who doesn’t believe in those core principles? Well, Cuomo and [Vice President] Kamala Harris."

"She was the biggest ‘I believer’ in the entire country," he said.

"Now, of course, the vice president's moral cowardice is shared by many of her colleagues ... some of the top Democrats that viciously rushed to judgment, smeared and slandered Kavanaugh, they're all now silent about the Cuomo accusations," Hannity concluded.
