Governor Cuomo’s top aide, Melissa DeRosa, resigns

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s longtime secretary and confidante, Melissa DeRosa — depicted as the governor’s enabler and enforcer in covering up his sexual abuses in the state attorney general’s probe — resigned from her post Sunday evening.

“It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve the people of New York for the past 10 years,” she said in a statement. “New Yorkers’ resilience, strength, and optimism through the most difficult times has inspired me everyday. Personally, the past 2 years have been emotionally and mentally trying. I am forever grateful for the opportunity to have worked with such talented and committed colleagues on behalf of our state.”

DeRosa was mentioned 187 times in the 168-page investigative report by Attorney General Letitia James into 11 sexual assault accusations against the three-term governor, which confirmed Cuomo has engaged in “unwanted groping, kissing, hugging and making inappropriate comments,” James said.

Exactly true.

Melissa DeRosa certainly wasn’t the LAST one groped.

It’s like the cheesy ‘actresses’ who complained about the casting couch...AS IF they were coreced.

If you are a ‘talented’ actress, that humiliation was not something you’d ever consider

I am thinking that types like this cockroach and Biden, are actually looking for those that don’t want the attention. That’s how they “read a room”.

That video of Biden blatantly pinching a little girl’s nipple and the revelation of the joy he received from her reaction told me all I needed to know about his psyche.

Cockroach Cuomo is his own kind of predator. At least he appears to prey on adults.

Notice that the “casting couch” scenarios are private corporations.

Some folks need a Clinton state police refresher course:

Governors are a whole different ball game—even if these women flirt with governors, they are playing with real fire if they change their minds....

This is Andrew Cuomo—up to now he has not been “stress tested”...

Only danger is losing her job as Hochul will get rid of his top aides when she replaces him.

Not a good sign when the capo di tutti i capi looses a top capo. Rats are heading for the life rafts.

He should be resigning sentenced to death for killing thousands of elderly citizens - not for being a sexual jerk.

FIXED!

I am convinced that what is happening to Cuomo has nothing to do with what he had done. If it was, they would have gone after him years ago. This is all about removing him to either place someone on controlled by Soros as in Laticia James or someone like her. It could also be to remove Cuomo from the 2024 race.

Agreed--but in order for that to happen a safe environment needed to be created for Cuomo's accusers.

Imho that does not invalidate their claims in any way--they are just pawns in "the big game".

Guys need to grow up and learn to read a room. Not every woman wants that kind of attention.

Women need to grow up and use the laws on the books. I don't know ANY women who want to be bullied by a sexual jerk who's their boss... Not one. It's why protections for people in the workplace were made into law.

These women chose NOT to use the laws because getting a promotion - and having dirt on the boss - was more important. I come from an earlier time when heroic women stood up to predatory bosses and accepted being fired before putting up with this kind of crap. Today's weak sisters have slapped the brave women from the past in their faces and perverted laws designed to protect women turning them into 'promotion advantages'. It's disgusting.

Cuomo - in a better world - would be receiving pressure for killing thousands of grandmothers and grandfathers NOT for being a bully to manipulative climbers.

The state police are outside the door—guarding the governor and his reputation—and you want the women to “speak up”...

Oh yeah, and the governor has well known organized crime connections.

You have _got_ to be kidding...

I don’t know any women _that_ stupid.

Right but there’s a word for ‘etting ahead based on ‘the advantages of your person’!

It ain’t a nice word. So if you are professional and experienced, you don’t need to stay in a place where that stuff goes on or is expected.

Governors (remember Bill Clinton of Arkansas?) have the state police to assist with intimidation (or worse). Combine that with Cuomo’s connections to organized crime (well known to folks in Albany) and it would be dangerous (stupid actually) for an individual woman to blow the whistle on him.

You've made a good point. We are talking 'democrats' here - and within a corrupt state at that...

These kind of people - democrats - (according to the idiots in our press) who would never commit voter fraud - but might be willing to endanger a women's life to maintain power? Yes, I can see that...

OK, under those circumstances it would be best for the women to remain silent. And best for the rest of us to stop electing democrats. And under those circumstances you are right and I'm wrong.
