A former staffer for Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo alleged Wednesday that he kissed her without her consent. Lindsey Boylan originally accused Cuomo of sexual harassment in December but waited to share details of her allegations until Wednesday. “We were in his New York City office on Third Avenue,” she said. “As I got up to leave and walk toward an open door, he stepped in front of me and kissed me on the lips. I was in shock, but I kept walking.” ============================================================================== A former staffer for Democratic New York Gov.

Fox Business host Stuart Varney ripped the draconian lockdowns inflicted by states in the U.S. in an editorialized segment of his show. Varney didn’t mince words when he began his segment with the following statement: “Enough is enough!” He continued: “I think I can say that America is truly tired of lockdowns and absolutely fed up with school closures. The pandemic is winding down, and it’s high time public policy reflected that.”

A former aide to Gov. Andrew Cuomo is accusing the embattled New York leader of sexually harassing her -- including unwanted kissing and touching -- and says his top female staffers "normalized" the behavior. Lindsey Boylan, the former deputy secretary for economic development and special adviser to the governor, said Cuomo constantly sought her out and had staffers arrange meetings with her, where he made inappropriate comments.

Gov. Cuomo’s fall from grace leaves many asking why he and other governors insisted for months that elderly COVID patients get warehoused in vulnerable nursing homes. When experts were predicting 2.2 million deaths, it could have been a calculated decision to sacrifice elderly to save everyone else. However, when experts were swiftly proved wrong, and that the policy should have been reversed, the refusal to admit an error, the economic benefits, and the ability to attack Trump may all have been lures too strong for these governors to resist.Andrew Cuomo is in trouble for his March 25 order forcing COVID-positive...

It’s an old newsroom axiom that “if it bleeds, it leads.” That may have been true in the age of the New York Herald and James Gordon Bennett but this is 2021 and it’s the age of digital news. Lead stories are now wholly dependent on whose ox is being gored and what their party affiliation might be. If the gored ox is Republican, you can bet it will be the lead story every hour on the hour.Ted Cruz made the dumbest political move of his life by leaving Texas to go to Mexico while cold snap made lives miserable...

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) seemingly dismissed concerns over New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and the fallout in the Empire State following reports that his administration covered up coronavirus fatality data in nursing homes out of fears of a federal investigation. Speaking to reporters on Friday morning, Gillibrand made it clear she was aware of the ongoing federal investigation into the Cuomo administration’s actions taken during the coronavirus pandemic and insisted she would monitor the situation, but said she is focused on her job in the United States Senate. Gillibrand said: I sit on the aging...

The biggest political scandal in America right now is playing out in New York, where Governor Andrew Cuomo is in a lot of trouble – and rightly so. The Democratic governor did not merely wildly mismanage his state’s response to the Covid emergency, while netting himself a lucrative book deal and an Emmy. He did something worse. In the middle of a public health emergency, he used his office to help one of his largest political donors shield itself from legal consequences as 15,000 nursing home residents died from Covid-19 – and then he and his administration underreported that death...

CNN host Chris Cuomo was mocked on Twitter for lambasting a Texas politician while his brother, Gov. Andrew Cuomo, faces calls to resign and impeachment inquiries after an exclusive Post report found his administration covered up thousands of nursing home COVID-19 deaths. In a Thursday morning tweet, the younger Cuomo posted an article about a Texas mayor who stepped down from office after calling his constituents “lazy” amid a massive power outage. Cuomo asked his followers: “Resign or apologize and learn and become a better leader?” Twitter users couldn’t help but wonder if the television anchor was actually talking about...

New York Assembly Republicans will introduce a measure to form an Impeachment Commission designed to gather "facts and evidence" regarding Governor Andrew Cuomo's handling of nursing home deaths during the pandemic. Nursing home deaths have plagued Cuomo's response to the pandemic and he's facing heavy criticism for withholding information from legislators. Some have called for his resignation and others pushed for voters to recall him, but save a successful challenger in the 2022 election, the only method of removing Cuomo from office is through impeachment. On Thursday, Assembly Republicans announced a resolution to create an impeachment commission consisting of eight...

While many legacy media outlets helped bury Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s (D-N.Y.) COVID-19 nursing home scandal, some Democratic officials in New York have refused to play ball. New York State Assemblyman Ron Kim (D-Queens) has vocally condemned Cuomo after his uncle, Son Kim, died in a nursing home in April after suffering COVID-19 symptoms. On Wednesday, Kim told The New York Post that Cuomo threatened him last Thursday before the governor condemned Kim in a press conference.Cuomo reportedly called Kim on Thursday night, after The New York Post revealed that Melissa DeRosa, Cuomo’s secretary, privately admitted that the governor’s administration withheld...

Gov. Ron DeSantis has put the leaders of locked-down blue states to shame, and Democrat politicians are ashamed to admit it.On a flight out of Orlando last month, I met a friendly Canadian family with three young children. We started chatting, and I asked what brought them all the way to Florida. “We wanted to be able to take our kids to the park,” they told me. They aren’t alone in flocking to Florida to find freedom, as other states and countries continue to keep their citizens locked down.

The myth of Gov. Andrew Cuomo of New York, Master of Pandemics, Destroyer of Trump, Boyfriend of America didn't create itself: It was the creation of U.S. media.The week isn’t even over and already New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has threatened a Democrat colleague, attacked nurses and nursing home staff, lashed out at the federal government, and attacked his “critics” for spreading “disinformation” and “conspiracy theories” about that time he literally conspired to hide easily avoidable deaths he caused. Things aren’t looking good for him.This, we’re told by his new enemies in corporate media, is what Democratic accountability looks like....

New York Senate Democrats moved on Wednesday to strip Governor Andrew Cuomo of his Emergency pandemic powers. This comes after news broke earlier tonight that the FBI and US Attorney in Brooklyn are reportedly investigating Governor Cuomo’s handling of nursing homes amid the Covid pandemic. And earlier today the New York Post reported that Cuomo threatened to destroy a fellow Democrat over nursing home criticism.

CNN has allegedly reinstated a ban on host Chris Cuomo interviewing his brother, Andrew, despite allowing the New York governor to appear on his show more than ten times last year. The network was questioned by the Washington Post on Tuesday after Chris, 50, failed to mention his 63-yar-old brother while addressing the biggest stories related to COVID-19 on his show the previous night. The host's silence came just hours after the governor had finally addressed in a press conference the latest scandal surrounding his handling of the data involving COVID-19 deaths in the state's nursing homes.

The media's deep arrogance about the Democrats' superior standing as the Party of Science and Competent Government when it comes to the coronavirus is personified in Gov. Andrew Cuomo. He has been hailed for many months as a wonderful role model, an inspiring anti-Trump. Somehow, each and every tragic coronavirus death was laid at former President Donald Trump's doorstep, ignoring the fact that New York is second in total coronavirus deaths (behind California) and second in deaths per million residents (behind New Jersey). Back in May, NBC's Cynthia McFadden stood out for focusing on Cuomo's coronavirus response, stating, "Connecticut Gov....

VIDEOGovernors Andrew Cuomo of New York and Gavin Newsom of California were most definitely the Democrat Golden Boys of 2020. Their political prospects were riding high to the extent that both were viewed as having excellent chances of reaching the White House in the near future. However, as you can see, both have sunk beneath the waves in 2021 and their political futures are now considered finished for good.

We need a full, thorough, and independent investigation with subpoenas to Department of Health Commissioner Howard Zucker, the governor’s staff, and the governor himself.A few weeks ago, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, without a hint of self-awareness, said, “Incompetent government kills people. More people died than needed to die in COVID.” Sadly, I couldn’t agree more. While many in corporate media glorified Cuomo’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, helping create a cult of personality for him among Democrats across the country, an examination of his decision-making reveals that he failed New Yorkers on many fronts. Cuomo was given near-unilateral emergency...

Remember when New York Governor Andrew Cuomo was almost universally hailed by the left over his many coronavirus briefings to the extent that he even won an Emmy in November for them? Of course, the Emmy Founders Award was given to Cuomo in November not so much for what he said but more for the fact that was considered the favored counterpoint to President Donald Trump's coronavirus briefings which they hated because he was, well, Trump.A big part of the Emmy ceremony was the top gushing over Cuomo by celebrities which in retrospect, due to the revelations about Cuomo's office...

When it has come to New York’s COVID-19 response, no state has been better…… at killing its citizens. In the past few days since it has been revealed that New York’s Governor Andrew Cuomo lied and withheld data which likely led to the deaths of thousands of his citizens, the media has continued to lock horns with Florida’s Ron DeSantis, somehow defying data that New York’s response is the worst in the nation. Obviously, you can expect the sycophantic left to do that. That comes as no surprise. When offered an apples-to-a**holes comparison, they will inevitably choose the a-holes. What...

It was only when Attorney General Letitia James faulted the state’s nursing-home data that the Cuomo administration’s stonewall started crumbling. And it took a court victory by the Empire Center, and a judge’s order, to finally flush out the full truth on behalf of more than 15,000 long-term care residents who died — and 15,000 families who lost loved ones. DeRosa’s implausible apology came Feb. 10, which was also the deadline for the state to comply with the court order. That’s probably no coincidence. The bottom line: Cuomo and his administration deceived New Yorkers as long as they could and...
