With New York State Attorney General Letitia James being investigated for mortgage fraud for a house she purchased in Virginia, it might be time to consider something else. Women.
The Crusader
They called her a crusader. The woman who brought down giants. A leader who said what others wouldn’t say, not because it was hard, but because it was good for headlines. Letitia James stood tall on stage. She spoke of men who had too much power.
“She believed women,” she said. And the crowd clapped. Yes, she believed women. But believing is easy. Listening is hard.
When it was against Con Ed, she believed. When it was the National Women’s Soccer League, she believed. When it was the Hip Hop Dance Conservatory, or the Sweet and Vicious club, or chefs Mario Batali and Joseph Bastianich, she believed the women and got them monetary settlements too.
And when it was Andrew Cuomo, she truly believed.
She believed with fists in the air and a press release on the table. She called for his resignation.
She stood with confidence at a lectern.
“No man—no matter how powerful—should be allowed to harass women.”
The crowd applauded. Reporters quoted her. Hashtags bloomed like fungus on a rotting log.
