On Sunday, new sexual misconduct allegations were brought forward against New York governor Andrew Cuomo by one of his former advisers.
The serious allegations were made by progressive activist Lindsey Boylan who came forward in a series of tweets.
“Yes, @NYGovCuomo sexually harassed me for years. Many saw it, and watched,” she said. “I could never anticipate what to expect: would I be grilled on my work (which was very good) or harassed about my looks. Or would it be both in the same conversation? This was the way for years.”
“Not knowing what to expect what’s the most upsetting part aside from knowing that no one would do a damn thing even when they saw it. No one. And I *know* I am not the only woman,” she added. “I’m angry to be put in this situation at all. That because I am a woman, I can work hard my whole life to better myself and help others and yet still fall victim as countless women over generations have. Mostly silently. I hate that some men, like @NYGovCuomo abuse their power.”
The allegations come as former Vice President Joe Biden is considering Cuomo as his attorney general pick, assuming Biden takes office in January.
“Cuomo has been asked in recent weeks about his interest in the attorney general spot,” the Associated Press reported. “Just this week, he said in a public radio interview in New York, ‘I have no intention to run for president or vice president, or go to the administration.’ But he said the attorney general job ‘is really critical, especially now.'”
The report that Cuomo may become the United States Attorney General came to a surprise to many considering Cuomo's past.
The New York Times reported:
A three-month examination by The New York Times found that the governor’s office deeply compromised the panel’s work, objecting whenever the commission focused on groups with ties to Mr. Cuomo or on issues that might reflect poorly on him.
Ultimately, Mr. Cuomo abruptly disbanded the commission halfway through what he had indicated would be an 18-month life. And now, as the Democratic governor seeks a second term in November, federal prosecutors are investigating the roles of Mr. Cuomo and his aides in the panel’s shutdown and are pursuing its unfinished business.
Before its demise, Mr. Cuomo’s aides repeatedly pressured the commission, many of whose members and staff thought they had been given a once-in-a-career chance at cleaning up Albany. As a result, the panel’s brief existence — and the writing and editing of its sole creation, a report of its preliminary findings — was marred by infighting, arguments and accusations. Things got so bad that investigators believed a Cuomo appointee was monitoring their communications without their knowledge. Resignations further crippled the commission. In the end, the governor got the Legislature to agree to a package of ethics reforms far less ambitious than those the commission had recommended — a result Mr. Cuomo hailed as proof of the panel’s success.
Meanwhile in Virginia, Lt. Gov. Fairfax is planning to run for governor. He was credibly accused of rape by two women who hold doctorates.
All three are black, and the media ignores this.
Well, duh. When you are a mass crooked criminal killing with impunity the elderly with Covid, why wouldn’t he get away with that too?
Funny how some are ready to out shackles on themselves voting democrats in the name of fighting slavery...
Maybe they can make a Veep sammich.
Ha Ha Ha - Boylan - that is the last name of that dude from the Blue Bloods TV series. Jack Boylan is the name of that weenie-fink-lawyer that was married to Erin Reagan.
The coincidences are only coincidental?
With regards to the aggrieved Ms. Boylan - bad things happen when you spend time around bad people. Sorry this happened to you, but if you are really a “progressive” whatever you should have filed complaints, etc.
Looking forward to the coming food fight, though. Will need some popcorn.
Just came out again as a resume enhancement. Shows he is running for President.
btt
She’s beautiful
Right. I’ve seen lots of these, and this doesn’t strike me as the strongest set of allegations I’ve ever seen....
Democrats don’t have a brain their life is guided with their crotch.
Screw everything and everyone often.
One of the best responses to Cuomo winning the Edward M. Kennedy Institute award was a tweet from Mollie Hemmingway:
“Everyone is upset about this, but I assume, given who it’s named after, that this is an award for killing people and getting away with it.”
You KNOW that Cuomo is a VICIOUSLY MEAN guy.....you can tell by his DEAD EYES and his deMEANor.
Not as pretty as Fang Bang but still not guilty
