Former Staffer: In Between Murdering the Elderly, Andrew Cuomo Sexually Harassed Me

Just based on looking at her,
and looking at his cro-magnon murder-face?
Guilty.

I lied in the headline (the media taught me to do that). This sexual harassment pre-dates any of his murders of the elderly (that we know of, at least).

Via John Sexton at Hot Air, the staffer who quit over Cuomo's sexual harassment publishes her story at Medium.

"Let's play strip poker."

I should have been shocked by the Governor’s crude comment, but I wasn't.

We were flying home from an October 2017 event in Western New York on his taxpayer-funded jet. He was seated facing me, so close our knees almost touched. His press aide was to my right and a state trooper behind us.

"That's exactly what I was thinking," I responded sarcastically and awkwardly. I tried to play it cool. But in that moment, I realized just how acquiescent I had become.

Governor Andrew Cuomo has created a culture within his administration where sexual harassment and bullying is so pervasive that it is not only condoned but expected. His inappropriate behavior toward women was an affirmation that he liked you, that you must be doing something right. He used intimidation to silence his critics. And if you dared to speak up, you would face consequences.

It's a pretty good piece. She also discusses the smear and intimidation tactics used by Cuomo against her, similar to the ones he's deploying against the Democrat calling for his impeachment, Ron Kim.
