Kathy Hochul (a white woman) being assigned Gov Cuomo's position without being elected - at no point does she seem to have won any general election - and it's her 2nd or 3rd time moving into a spot of a man who was removed with sexual accusations

I link to a source for each of these; the text is a rewritten summary from the source.

Kathy Hochul had a career as a lawyer. She goes into politics in 2011.

Rep. Chris Lee (R) has a spot in the US House. He's hit with sexual allegations and resigns.

Kathy Hochul moves into his newly opened position via special election.

Next regular election she loses.

Cuomo's Lieutenant Governor Robert Duffy is eligible for a second term but mysteriously decides not to run and leave politics completely. Cuomo chooses Kathy Hochu as his replacement and she moves into the spot.

Robert Duffy has no official allegations against him per google. But his not running for reelection "to spend more time with their family" is a generic excuse that sometimes turns out to be that they were blackmailed behind the scenes to stay out of the race. It's theoretically possible he was told to drop out of the race or he'd be accused of something sexual.

I Lieutenant Governor is similar to Vice President - you're not elected directly, if the person you're running with gets elected (Cuomo) you're in.

Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo gets hit with sexual accusations and forced to resign. Kathy Hochul is assigned his position as Governor of New York (no election).

The problem is, she hasn't really done anything bad per say.

The point I'm getting at is this.

Say a former CIA agent started running for office. A politician's plane mysteriously malfunctions and they're killed. The CIA agent runs in their place and wins in a special election. Next regular election the CIA agent loses and is back in trying to find a political position.

Then the governors right hand man decides not to turn for another term out of nowhere. There are rumors someone threatened his kids but nothing is proven. Mr. CIA is appointed to his former roles as the governors right hand man.

A few years later the governor is killed when the brakes on his car mysteriously malfunction. Mr CIA is now the governor.

At what point do you think to yourself that Mr CIA is coordinating with his CIA buddies to threaten or kill off people in positions he wants so he can be installed into the position?

Yeah I get that. Let's just hope she's her own person instead of a plant
