3 August 2021: Tone-Deaf Cuomo Presents Slideshow of Him Getting Touchy Feely

‘I Do It With Everyone’: Andrew Cuomo’s Slideshow Showing Him Touching People Draws Mockery

We're being polite by calling the message Andrew M. Cuomo is sending with his slideshow presentation "tone-deaf".

Fox News’ Emily Compagno was one of many to swipe at Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) for airing a slideshow of him kissing and touching multiple people in an effort to refute recent findings that he sexually harassed current and former state employees.

“From top to bottom, the governor’s response was one more example of the hubris that has carried him through, not only this entire investigation but frankly the years prior, which now we understand brought with it a host — a workplace culture of ‘toxic vindictiveness and abusiveness,'” Compagno said on Tuesday, following both the announcement from New York Attorney General Letitia James’ on her investigation, and a response from Cuomo.

Compagno went on to accuse Cuomo of “mansplaining” throughout his response, defending his intent, and using a “woe is me” tone, noting that it does not matter what his intentions were — a critique the governor himself has used to support victims of harassment and assault.

The Fox News host went on to decry Cuomo for subjecting viewers to “a montage of him kissing people like Robert De Niro, as if to remind us of the power he has in the network he holds.”

“He embarked on victim shaming,” she added, later hitting at his “I do it with everyone” defense.

Here's a clip of his videotaped presentation:

To put his unintended message bluntly, he is communicating that no one is safe around him.
