Cuomo sexually harassed multiple female staffers in violation of state and federal law, New York attorney general concludes
New York Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo sexually harassed current and former state employees, creating a hostile work environment for women in violation of state and federal law, state Attorney General Letitia James announced Tuesday.
James released the results of a months-long investigation that included interviews with many of the women who accused the governor of misconduct, along with Cuomo himself and a coterie of his top advisers.
"This investigation has revealed conduct that corrodes the very fabric and character of our state government," she said at a news conference.
The probe was launched after multiple women accused Cuomo of inappropriate personal comments or unwelcome physical contact, including allegations that he groped an aide in the governor's mansion and made sexually suggestive comments in the workplace.
The claims surfaced publicly earlier this year when Lindsey Boylan, a former aide, wrote in an online post that the governor had sexually harassed her for years, saying he touched her lower back and arms and once kissed her. His aides later released details from her personnel file, an action scrutinized by the attorney general's office as potential retaliation against a victim.
Days after Boylan's post, Charlotte Bennett, another former aide, alleged in an interview with the New York Times that Cuomo made suggestive comments she interpreted as sexual advances. A third aide, a staffer employed in the governor's office, told the Albany Times Union that Cuomo groped her breast after summoning her to the governor's mansion in November.
Other women said the governor quizzed them about their dating lives, part of an office culture they viewed as degrading and toxic.
Cuomo's behavior created 'hostile, toxic' workplace culture for decades, former aides say
Cuomo has denied touching women "inappropriately" but apologized if his interactions with them caused offense or pain.

President Biden calls on Cuomo to resign.

President Biden called on Tuesday for the resignation of Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo of New Yorkafter the state's attorney general found that Mr. Cuomo, a third-term Democrat, had sexually harassed multiple women.
Mr. Biden said, bluntly, "yes," when asked at the White House if Mr. Cuomo should leave office, but stopped short of calling for him to be removed if he refuses to resign: "Let's take one thing at a time."
Mr. Cuomo, who is facing a criminal investigation by the Albany County prosecutor, has vowed to stay in office, calling the report biased and saying the "facts are much different from what has been portrayed."
Mr. Biden, a longtime friend of Mr. Cuomo's, had initially avoided addressing the accusations, and at first seemed content to stay on the sidelines of a growing rift between the Democratic Party and the increasingly isolated New York governor. Mr. Biden said that he had not spoken to Mr. Cuomo and that he had not read the full report on the harassment accusations: "All I know is the end result," he said.
On Tuesday, the last of Mr. Cuomo's allies began distancing themselves.
"As always, I commend the women who came forward to speak their truth," Nancy Pelosi, the Speaker of the House, said in a statement. "Recognizing his love of New York and the respect for the office he holds, I call upon the Governor to resign."
That only left Mr. Biden, who initially had emphasized the importance of an independent investigation to verify the claims. Asked in March about the accusations against Mr. Cuomo, the president told George Stephanopoulos of ABC News that the governor should resign if the investigation turned back evidence of harassment.
"Yes," Mr. Biden said when asked whether Mr. Cuomo should resign based on the findings. "I think he'll probably end up being prosecuted, too."
On Tuesday, Jen Psaki, the White House press secretary, was also asked to expand on Mr. Biden's feelings about the harassment. She would only offer her own.
"All women who have lived through this type of experience," Ms. Psaki said, "harassment or abuse or, in the worst case, assault, deserve to have their voices heard. I don't know that anyone could've watched this morning and not found the allegations to be abhorrent."
She added: "I know I did."

I gotta give credit where credit is due. Joe Biden just announced he thinks Cuomo should step down. Good for him! Some think Cuomo may go scorched earth on Biden claiming Biden's past conduct was no better than his. We shall see.

I'm sure like everything else dementia Joe was just following orders from his handlers as apparently they've calculated that throwing Cuomo under the bus is a politically advantageous thing to do. You can rest assurred it isn't because the left just had a sudden attack of morality or of truly caring about women.

He should have been canned long ago.

This man actually did cause death with his nursing home directives.

But Rubin highlights the toxic partisanship of the media, there is no middle of the
road common sense any longer with left or right leaning media folks. Just stir it up
to get more hits/views/viewership etc.

Sexual sin is nonpartisan and not limited to politicians. Cuomo is more of an idiot than I already thot he was if he seriously thinks he can bluff this out. Republcians will put up with this behavior if they "like the policies." Dems ousted Al Franken for nuthin.

Having consensual sex with a porn star is the equivalent of sexually harassing and assaulting numerous women?

I guess it only makes sense in the mind of a jaded old wind bag like yourself.

Al Franken was accused by 8 women, notably Leeann Tweeden, in appropriate touching and kissing.
I'm not saying he is automatically guilty, but that is not "nuthin".

Quote:

CNN host Chris Cuomo was given confidential and privileged information by the New York state Executive Chamber as his brother, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) was facing several sexual harassment allegations, Attorney General Letitia James' report discovered.

Investigators wrote in the report that it was "revealing" that the governor sought guidance from Chris Cuomo and others not employed by the state on his response to the accusations that have since been found to be true.

"None of them was officially retained in any capacity by the Executive Chamber or any of the individuals involved," the report reads.

"Nonetheless, they were regularly provided with confidential and often privileged information about state operations and helped make decisions that impacted State business and employeesall without any formal role, duty, or obligation to the State," it continues.

Chris Cuomo also took part in handling his brother's response to allegations by either writing or editing statements for the governor. This occurred amid the CNN anchor denying involvement in his brother's response.

Why shouldn't he be? This is a crystal clear example of the disparity that exists between the parties. Y'all just spent 4yrs ignoring, even defending, much worse conduct from Trump because of "policy", meanwhile Cuomo's party leaders are outright calling for his resignation (Biden called it in March). No hedging, no talk about how it would slow down any "agenda" like the GOP excuse making for Trump, just loud calls for him to resign. Like I've said before, watch as Democrats do to Cuomo what y'all should have done to Trump.

Republican leadership can't even bring themselves to lightly criticize accused rapist and human trafficker Matt Gaetz, but they'll sure punish Liz Cheney for not lying about 1/6. Have any elected Dems even tried to defend Cuomo this week? I'm sure someone has but I haven't seen it.

You have to be kidding here. If you are a man have you ever done something like that to a woman that was not your spouse or significant other. I sure hope not.

I might could believe Cuomo and his protestations about generational differences, and that he hugs, kisses on the forehead and cheek, holds hands, pats them on the back, with people he doesn't know. That is not so unusual.

We have all known an older woman that does that stuff all the time and nobody raises an eyebrow.

His directives that killed thousands of elderly people with the nursing homes, when he had people fooled into thinking he had Covid figured out because he can talk well, that's what should have gotten him removed. He sentenced many people to certain death.

Oh please. First, any democrats calling for a resignation is only doing so because not to could hurt them politically. And second... you liberal wack jobs literally defended Clinton by telling everyone it was none of their business.

In case you weren't born yet. Bill Clinton was president for 8 years in the nineties.

So the left (and their media propagandists) flipped on Cuomo and bludgeoned him into resigning. Finally some good news for New York. The evidence must be overwhelming or they made the political calculation to burn him to draw attention away from the eldercide he committed.
