6 March 2021: Team Cuomo Members Social Distancing Themselves from Governor Cuomo

2 more former Cuomo aides accuse governor of inappropriate behavior

And then there were five women alleging sexual harassment on the part of Governor Cuomo:

Two more former aides to Gov. Andrew Cuomo have accused the third-term Democrat of inappropriate behavior, marking the fourth and fifth women to raise allegations against the governor in recent weeks.

Ana Liss, who worked as a policy and operations aide to Cuomo from 2013 to 2015, alleged that the governor had "asked her if she had a boyfriend, called her sweetheart, touched her on her lower back at a reception and once kissed her hand when she rose from her desk," The Wall Street Journal reported Saturday....

Other former staffers accused Cuomo of inappropriate workplace behavior in a Washington Post report published Saturday. One of them is Karen Hinton, who worked for Cuomo as a press aide in the 1990s when he was the U.S. housing secretary. Hinton told the Post Cuomo invited her to his hotel room in 2000 when she was working as a consultant and embraced her in a way she said was "very long, too long, too tight, too intimate."

At least one elected official in the New York legislature claimed they were waiting for just one more victim of Governor Cuomo's alleged sexual harassment to come forward before doing something other than sitting on their hands. We wonder how many additional deaths they were willing to wait for before doing anything about the Cuomo administration's COVID-19 nursing home scandals.
