A 2nd Cuomo aide has come forward to claim sexual harassment by Andrew Cuomo. She decided to come forward to counter the way Andrew Cuomo wields his power.
Charlotte Bennett said Cuomo asked her questions about her sex life, whether she was monogamous in her relationships and if she had ever had sex with older men, the NY Times reports.
The news of the 2nd aide coming forward isn’t as shocking as the fact that the NY Times printed it.
The 25-year-old, an executive assistant and health policy adviser in the Cuomo administration, was harassed last spring.
The Times reports:
Ms. Bennett, 25, said the most unsettling episode occurred on June 5, when she was alone with Mr. Cuomo in his State Capitol office. In a series of interviews this week, she said the governor had asked her numerous questions about her personal life, including whether she thought age made a difference in romantic relationships and had said that he was open to relationships with women in their 20s — comments she interpreted as clear overtures to a sexual relationship.
Cuomo responded, saying he thought he was acting as a mentor and “never made advances toward Ms. Bennett, nor did I ever intend to act in any way that was inappropriate.”
He called for a review and wants New Yorkers to hold off making judgments. The review would be conducted by a retired federal judge that his office chose. The judge was appointed by Bill Clinton – Barbara Jones.
And we can trust that?
But prominent Democrats such as Alessandra Biaggi, Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul and Carl Heastie turned their backs on him and called for a ‘truly independent probe’.
Cuomo didn’t deny Ms. Bennett’s comments but he did call the 1st person to come forward, Ms. Boylan, a liar.
Both women told people about the incidents at the time.
Lindsey Boylan, who worked for the state’s economic development authority and in Mr. Cuomo’s office from 2015 to 2018, said in a Medium post on Wednesday that he kissed her on the lips after a meeting in his office and suggested while on an October 2017 airplane trip that they “play strip poker.”
“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,” Ms. Boylan said in the post.
If the Kim story is accurate, after the way he treated assemblyman Ron Kim, he should resign. He should also resign over the killings of the elderly in nursing homes.

The creepy governor makes orders that directly kill thousands of the most vulnerable people in society alone & in misery, yet it takes allegations that he hit on some women to do him in? What is the matter with this picture?
The DOJ – [Department of inJustice] really needs to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate Andrew Cuomo’s personal and official behaviors, as the N.Y. State Attorney General and
the officers of the Federal US Attorneys in NY cannot by their historical political affiliations be independent in pursuit of Justice when it comes to the sitting governor of NY!
The New York Times writing a negative article about Gov. Andrew Cuomo is the really stunning aspect of this case.
Apparently, the media has decided he’s expendable, and they have bigger fish to fry.
Also, New York no longer is the head of the Democrat party, the power has shifted to San Francisco. That’s where Silicon Valley Big Tech is located, which has become the defacto leadership of the party.
With Demokkknazi’s, these accusations will fortify Cuomo’s resumé for his 2024 Presidential bid.
Does the we must believe them always apply to CPUSA comrades?
I still have all the Oprah, Obama, other notables hanging out with sleazy greasy Harvey W.
Looks like money can’t buy you any charm or decorum.
Who will be the new CPUSA mediocrity to be comrade kommissar guv of the glorious people’s republic of NY?
