Former Aide Accuses Cuomo of Sexual Harassment (Published 2020)

Lindsey Boylan, who is now running for Manhattan borough president, said the governor would often discuss her physical appearance when she worked for him.

I know that Cuomo has a lot of fans in this forum, so I'm curious how they think this should be handled.

I honestly don't know much about him but I have never got the sense that he is adored by many on these forums.

I don't know about that. He seemed to have a lot of fans here back in April when he was complaining about Trump's Covid-19 response.

Personally, I always thought that he was an arrogant asshole. Apparently he's also a sexist asshole as well.

He hurt her feelings with his comments on her looks?
Was that ... say, thats some nice fucking titties you got there honey...
Or was it .. thats a nice dress, like your hair etc.
Context matters but alas :

"To be clear: I have no interest in talking to journalists."

So a hit and run.
I guess we will see how many else steps forward, that seems to be the measurable metric in these cases.


--- In a word where it is easier to get punishment for an alleged comment than it is for actual rape with semen found on the crime scene.

my impression is he is not particularly liked, but his popularity went up with how he handled coronavirus.

Made-up nonsense.

OK clown, let's see some quotes or links to these posts that you are falsely claiming were so common here by all the "fans". STFU dumbass.

Kind of like the dumbest poster on a forum calling everyone else idiots.

This thread seems to have a lot of Cuomo fanboyism in it:

In Trump-Cuomo spat on coronavirus, the gloves come off

Personally I have been waiting for somebody to take off the gloves and I like what Cuomo said -- Cuomo pointed out that New York relied on projections from the White House coronavirus task force for the number of hospital beds the state required. “Mr. President, if you want to point fingers...

"Cuomo for VP" was one of my favorite comments

Like with any accusation I await facts which will facilitate discernment. If history is our guide in such matters Democrats typically resign while Republicans raid the public coffers for hush money.

 

[nOOky]

I don't think him looking at her and saying "now let's get something straight between us" is sexual harassment

He is generally an ass, and people I know that live in NYC don't really like him, but he was generally accepted to be a voice of reason when NYC was getting hammered with covid. His chats made Trump's ramblings sound childish.

 

[MrSquished]

I live near NYC and most people around here and in nyc that I know or on forums around here don't really like him but appreciated his more thorough response to covid when Trump was holding these rambling so called press conferences

So... resigning makes the act itself less reprehensible?

Yeah...there was amusement over the spat between the two of them going back and forth for a few weeks, but c'mon man...pretty big stretch to say anyone who commented, cheering him on, did so because they love Cuomo and not because they fucking hate Trump. That's dishonest.

Nuance is difficult for you. People were praising his response to covid. In fact several members specifically said he had done numerous shitty things but he was doing the right thing with his covid response.

Also for the record if the claims are credible and can be substantiated then he should be held accountable as should anyone.

It only seems that way because you are an ignorant fool easily manipulated by propaganda.

He wants so badly to have that, "GOTCHYA" moment that he has to be dishonest about it.

This +1

From the sounds of it, Lindsey Boylan is going to be the first of many to come forward. The Cuomo family is one of the few that practically runs New York politics, though, so it's going to take some guts to do so.

Good. Fuck Cuomo and fuck Biden for ever considering giving him any part in the federal government. If I wanted corrupt assholes running the show I would have voted for Trump.

You know this based on...what now? Fucking liar.

One woman with an accusation. "THERE'LL BE TONS MOAR U JUST WAIT"

fwiw...I could not care less about Cuomo or his career or NY state. I do care about you fucking idiots constantly lying and making shit up, though. Fuck off, Bob.

Patiently waiting for the Trump and Kavanaugh white knights to come in here in support of Cuomo...

So stealing from the public to pay for your sins is okay with you?

uh, nooo. lol, how poorly you read that room, sir.

 

[sactoking]

I seem to have heard somewhere that "she's not pretty enough to harass" is a valid defense. Also, I heard Cuomo likes beer so that makes it OK. Finally, when you're famous you can do whatever you want and they just let you.
