How many more can he survive?
It’s getting to the point where if you lined up all of the women who have come forward to accuse New York Governor Andrew Cuomo of some form of sexual harassment or another, you’d have the makings for at least the beginning of a parade. Former Cuomo press aide (from his time working at HUD) Karen Hinton and Ana Liss, who once served as an aide to the Governor, both came forward yesterday with their own stories to tell of their boss’s “inappropriate behavior” in the past. At this point, the pressure must surely be mounting inside Cuomo’s office, but at least as of this morning, he’s still denying any wrongdoing. The New York Post has the details of the latest accusations against the allegedly handsy chief executive of the Empire State. Two more women came forward Saturday to accuse Gov. Cuomo of sexually harassing behavior, including a former press aide who describes struggling to free herself from his repeated hugs, and a young assistant who now says he left her feeling like “just a skirt.”… At the time, Cuomo led the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. A current rep for Cuomo strongly denied Hinton’s allegation to the newspaper, claiming “this did not happen.” Another former Cuomo employee, this time a policy and operations aide who worked for the governor in New York from 2013 to 2015, also emerged Saturday with allegations he’d behaved inappropriately while she worked for him in Albany. The stories both of these women tell are in the same vein as the previous accusers. Neither of them describes anything that would cross the line into a case of criminal sexual assault, but the allegations definitely describe unprofessional behavior that would very likely qualify as sexual harassment.
