A third woman, 33-year-old Anna Ruch, on Monday stepped forward to accuse New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) of sexual harassment.
Ruch met Cuomo at a mutual friend's wedding reception in Sept. 2019. The two had a discussion after Cuomo offered positive thoughts about the newlyweds.
According to The New York Times, Cuomo allegedly placed his hand on Ruch's lower back, which she removed with her own. He allegedly said she was "aggressive," placed his hands on her cheeks, and loudly asked if he could kiss her. As Cuomo leaned in to kiss her, Ruch pulled away.
“I was so confused and shocked and embarrassed,” Ruch told The Times. “I turned my head away and didn’t have words in that moment.”

You’re right. Some people are touchy....but there’s touchy and there’s “touchy”.
Kamala will run for president in 2024. DNC won’t want any real contenders and Cuomo would challenge that. Eliminate him up front and one less challenger.
to the accusing chick: So he made a pass at you. SO WHAT? It wasn’t at the workplace. QUITCHYURBITCHIN.
I am clumsy. I make a big effort to NOT bump into people.
My daughter’s old teacher loved to put her hand on my back when talking to me. Something she did in kindergarten a lot, but creeped me out.
I teach my kids that unless it is grandma, it is OK to say “I don’t like to be touched!”
I agree with you absolutely.
These acts are fairly tame, but I wonder what else is in his background. He is so sleazy.
If that is the case caww, that means Gretchen from MI, the Gov's from NJ & PA & Possibly MA are all in deep doo-doo.
That also means the Janice Dean's efforts to get the story out are working.
Gretchen made a play to save her sorry derriere with the Non-Disclosure Agreement with her legal eagle and he takes a powder...
So with all these folks possibly dropping off the radar screen because of DNC liability, who does that leave as Camilla's VP if they are all political toast?
Val Jal? Eric Holder?
I could see Gretchen as the pick, she is a mean SOB, but she's got to survive her Cuomo mess...
Actually I met one once, and he was a douchenozzle, but he might have had a bit more class than Cuomo....
Geez if I knew I could destroy a man’s life for every time he came on to me.... they should be glad I’m not vindictive.
The left “untouchables”.
He is so ugly! Inside and out.
Looks loke the picture of Dorian Gray.
Could be.
Looks like they are picking off her contenders, one by one, and very early in the game.
😂🤣😏
Had to have an MD in authority when they released the Covid.
Yes, they don’t want her to face any challengers, or possibly one really weak one. She is obnoxious and even with 24/7 media adoration they can’t change the fact that most Americans will be revolted by her.
It is funny, the dumb people of NY give this jackass all sorts of power to do whatever he pleases, then when he does whatever he pleases, they are suddenly “gee wiz, he shouldn’t do that”
Why were they not up in arms when the guy ruins people’s lives with his dumb policies? Oh, they were, only the media has changed their minds.
Hochul won’t last long.
Prior to being LtGov, she was a reasonable D in Erie County. Heard her speak at a sportsmen’s dinner.
Didn’t have words for that moment????? Are you freaking kidding me???? How the hell about: GET YOUR F&^%ing hands off me you stinking pig?? Or something along that route.
Cuomo is a phony tough guy, only picks on women looking for sex, which he thinks any woman he hits on should gush all over him and have sex with him.
I'm sure there some groupie types that took a roll in the hay with him because of his status
We will never hear from those airheads.
Over the years I have experienced various forms of male a-hole behavior, mostly without saying anything official. One important question is this question. Did the rejection by the women result in any retaliation by Cuomo? I did call the police after a man with a knife broke into my house. In college I did not report the law student who drove me out into the country for a picnic, and then tried very hard to force me to have sex. This included pressing my carotid artery until I almost passed out. Then a lawyer who I thought was my friend tried very hard to get sex a few years after that. They knew how hard you could push it without a legal rape charge. I still have questions about the Kavenaugh situation.
Lesser incidents were an executive at my workplace who would come up behind me and breathe on my neck. After I “accidentally” stepped back on his instep with my high healed shoe he stopped doing that. A supervisor invited me to lunch and indicated he would like an affair. I reminded him I was married, and nothing further happened in the 2 years I worked for him. So you can see there is a wide range of inappropriate behavior we women can experience, and it can be quite unexpected. Then you wonder if it is worth creating a fuss.
