The dam bursts on Cuomo. – Well, whatever deal the elderly-killing, sexual-harassing, serial-bullying Andrew Cuomo might have cut with state legislative leaders to avoid impeachment – as I theorized yesterday – is now off, after not one, but two more former female staffers went public with new allegations of sexual harassment on Saturday. The women accuse the Governor of creating a classic hostile workplace environment in which inappropriate touching and graphic sexual innuendo seem to have been Cuomo’s normal mode of behavior.
From a story at RedState.com:
According to the Daily Mail, Ana Liss, 35, was a policy and operations aide for Cuomo for 2 years from 2013-2015. She spoke to the Wall Street Journal and said that he made advances toward her including asking if she had a boyfriend, touching her back and kissing her on the hand. She told the WSJ that she felt diminished from an educated professional to “just a skirt.” She said his behavior wasn’t “appropriate, really, in any setting.”
Karen Hinton’s story suggests this has been going on for some time. Hinton, 62, said that Cuomo embraced her after a work event in 2000. She said she tried to pull away from him, but he pulled her back before she was ultimately able to get away and leave.
Additionally, two male aides claimed that the governor would berate them, call them “pussies” and say “they have no balls.” Other current and former officials told the WSJ that the governor would regularly ask women about their dating lives, touch them and make comments on their physical appearance including asking them to wear high heels.
This is on top of the three women who have already come forward alleging sexually inappropriate or harassing behavior – Lindsay Boylan, Charlotte Bennett and Anna Ruch. Ruch wasn’t even an aide, just a woman that he met at a wedding and who he immediately asked to kiss her.
[End]
This now brings the running total to five women, including four ex-employees, who have accused the sitting Governor of New York of engaging in behavior that would have had any major corporate CEO out on his sorry ass weeks ago. Yet, there Cuomo remains, still ensconced in the governor’s mansion and with a public approval rating that somehow still hovers in the high-40s if the polls are to be believed, which I freely admit is a crap shoot.
One of the unintentionally hilarious parts of these newest two accusations is that they came just a day after a leading Democrat in the state senate bizarrely told the press that the legislature would continue to protect Cuomo and allow him to serve out his term in office so long as no more women went public with their accusations:
Yes, friends, I kid you not: According to Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins, it’s just all cool and stuff for a fellow Democrat to egregiously harass three women, but do it to four, well, that’s crossing some odd line in her demented Democrat mind.
I swear I’m not making this stuff up – from a story at Breitbart:
During an interview aired on Thursday’s broadcast of Spectrum News Capital Region Albany’s “Capital Tonight,” New York State Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins (D) stated that if any more people come forward with allegations against New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) “I would think it would be time for him to resign.”
Host Susan Arbetter asked, “What if another person comes forward with a credible allegation against the governor, or two more people? At what point would he lose your support?”
Stewart-Cousins responded, “Well, I think I made it clear on CNN that any further people coming forward, I would think it would be time for him to resign.”
[End]
Breathtaking, isn’t it? So, what does this indicate to you? Doesn’t it indicate that Cuomo had indeed struck a deal with his fellow Democrats in the legislature that he would sign their bill stripping him of his executive emergency powers in exchange for allowing him to serve out his term, with the caveat that the three women who had already gone public were all their were?
Of course it does. But the bloom on that rose now appears to be off as Democrat state assembly members took to social media to demand action on the part of their leadership. Assembly member Yuh-Line Niou not only demanded Cuomo’s removal from office over these latest allegations, but also spent a little time describing how the process works:
Like Sen. Stewart-Cousins, Rep. Niou had made no such demands so long as Cuomo had only been credibly accused of abusing just three women in the workplace. It’s bizarre and utterly corrupt, but that does seem to be some sort of ‘get-out-of-jail-free’ card in the demented minds of New York Democrats.
So now that Cuomo stands credibly accused by no fewer than five women – and who can doubt more are on the way – these depraved people will either have to act on their “principles” or create some other artificial threshold for Cuomo to avoid exceeding before they finally act to rid Albany of his pestilence.
If they choose the latter course of action, I’d suggest they set the number really high. Like, in triple digits.
That is all.
Is there a yearbook photo of him in blackface?
All of those are survivable, ask Bill Clinton and ask governor of Virginia.
Also ask Trudeau
Oh, the Humanity!
It's a good thing that the drill sergeants in our military always maintain the proper sense of decorum and assiduous devotion to good etiquette in boot camp.
Regards,
BS. Cuomo will be in office until his term ends. Then he will be appointed to a high-level position in the federal government by the next Dem president.
Regards,
Cuomo is a predator.
And he’s corrupt.
Everyone knew it.
And didn’t care.
What’s different now?
He should be out office over the nursing home scandal. But it looks like they’re pinning their hopes on this fresh scandal first.
The real question is why are the Democrats doing a ‘Harvey Weinstein’ or Brett Kavanaugh slow bleed treatment? I still contend that they are doing damage control to keep him out of prison (not for his sake, but to cover up the Democrats own responsiblities for killing thousands of old folks for political reasons (Trump fear and loathing took precedent over saving lives). Not only for Cuomo, but all of the Democratic Governors, Mayors, etc., who did exactly the same thing. Cuomo has been chosen to “ride the steel” for the Party.
He should go to prison for deliberately sending those helpless elderly to their deaths
THAT’S THE REAL STORY!
President Trump sent in the hospital ship and opened a huge place downtown .to care for them.....and he completely ignored it!
Until he’s gone nothing has happened.
So expect nothing to happen.
If anything, this is a Joycelyn Elders situation.
The oust someone, but the underlying reason is something different that they don’t want to talk about.
In elders case they claimed it was because she was promoting teaching masturbation among kids.
In reality she had said healthcare should be rationed because old people are just gonna die anyway and younger people will be paying into Social Security.
In Cuomo’s case the truths about elderly New Yorkers killed by Covid are coming to light. They withheld the truth at least through the 2020 election but now he’s expendable.
Yep.
Why didn’t they speak out during the pink pussy had protests? Why didn’t they speak out when Harvey Weinstein was being run out of Hollywood.
Exactly...there are plenty of nice prisons in New York that could house Cuomo...lots of inmates living there that would LOVE the reunite with ‘ol Andy. Pay Per View? I’m in.
He should be forced to move back in with momma and enjoy the true Democrat lifestyle.
Yep
He wouldn’t be lonely anymore
Look we all know he did for political reasons.....GET TRUMP!
Period
Just damn? Just when the ‘love gov’ episodes were getting real soapbox there is discussion of his termination!
Ask Ted Kennedy.
