Serious Sexual Misconduct Allegations Surface Against Andrew Cuomo
[TRENDINGPOLITICS] On Sunday, new sexual misconduct allegations were brought forward against New York governor Andrew Sonny 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 Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden
...Candidate for president in 2020. I had the great honor of being arrested with our UN Ambassador on the streets of Soweto, trying to get to see him on Robbens Island...
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 News Agency that Dare Not be Named 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

...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...

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 Sherlocks 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.

#5 Blue on Blue, progressive against progressive. There goes Cuomo's notions of being AG. Of course, in a Biden administration, fondling little girls and sexual harassment might be a requirement for office.

#6 would I be grilled on my work (which was very good) or harassed about my looks.

Sounds like harassment, but not like what I would consider 'sexual harassment'.

Except the victim identifies as female.

#7 Boylan is a candidate for Manhattan Borough President in 2021. She worked for Cuomo in two different jobs, beginning in 2015 and resigning in 2018

she doesn't mention what the sexual misconduct was
but says others saw it and did nothing and it involved her 'looks'

this is likely a 'diva wanting attention'
situation

since she apparently is good looking, it may be that Cuomo just said, 'you look pretty today'

#8 Cuomo is an F'ing bully and a harrasser.

#9 Since he won't be "brought to book" as they say for killing Grandma and Grandpa, does anyone think this will be an issue for him?

#10 She waiting until she was running for election to bring this up? I am no fan of Cuomo, and I don't doubt it happening, but her waiting until election time is just plain opportunism.

#11 Everyone who worked for this asshole said he's a bully and a thug.

More to the point he's almost certainly guilty if manslaughter -- of literally thousands of elderly citizens.

He should be indicted already. Book him

#12 I agree. I despise Cuomo, but unless Ms Boylan can provide specific details that go beyond "He made me feel uncomfortable by commenting on my looks", this sounds like a hit job.
BTW, this is one reason that before I retired, I would never comment on a woman's looks at work. Even if I wanted to say something positive, I would refrain.

#13 Top Democrats are all deviant?

They are all reptiles with absolutely no sense of right or wrong, no guilt or remorse for the harm they do to real human beings. Deviant sexual behavior is only one aspect of the personality disorder. Of course, they don't consider it to be a disorder.

Disorder? Hardly, it's liberal, democrat prerequisite.
