8 November 2021: Daughter Promotes Claim Sexual Harassment Charges Against Cuomo Were Manufactured

Andrew Cuomo’s daughter shares article calling dad’s scandal ‘a manufactured #MeToo’

Michaela Kennedy-Cuomo, the youngest daughter of Andrew M. Cuomo, is promoting an article claiming the sexual harassment allegations of multiple women against her father were a "manufactured #MeToo-style PR offensive". This report appeared on Saturday, 6 November 2021, which references a Twitter post she promoted on Thursday, 4 November 2021.

Michaela Kennedy-Cuomo, 24, promoted an article slamming the sexual-assault scandal which ushered her father, disgraced former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, out of office as “a manufactured #MeToo-style PR offensive.”

“Finally. Please read,” she tweeted Friday.

The piece — self-published by independent journalist Michael Tracey on the online platform Substack — accused Letitia James, New York attorney general and gubernatorial candidate, of “seedy machinations” to oust Cuomo, who “almost certainly would never have been defeated in a New York Democratic gubernatorial primary.”

Michaela Kennedy-Cuomo is the youngest of Cuomo's three daughters. She has previously appeared in the timeline in a story suggesting she misused public resources to move out of New York's Executive Mansion following her father's resignation-in-disgrace. As one of Cuomo's daughters, she benefits from the $1 million in proceeds from Cuomo's $5.12 million pandemic "leadership" book deal that he sheltered inside a trust for them to shield the money from future creditors. Those future creditors will almost certainly include the women filing civil lawsuits against her father to collect damages related to his alleged sexual harassment.

Next, here's a link to and excerpt from the article she's promoting, which was published on Substack on 4 November 2021:

Unprecedented Abuse Of Power: What The Media Still Isn't Telling You About The Cuomo Debacle

Much of this article reads like something that was originally written for the author's personal diary. Here's the part where it gets into allegations of phony sexual harassment being manufactured by one of Cuomo's alleged accusers, which relates to an incident that occurred while she was in college:

No self-respecting leftist journo was going to mount a “defense” of Cuomo, for one thing, after years of mutual fear and loathing. Nor would most right-wing journalists, many of whom were just delighted that their longtime nemesis was being toppled. And the same goes, crucially, for traditionally “establishment” media organs such as the New York Times — which increasingly takes its cues from the activist Left anyway. It goes without saying that the New York Times would never dream of “attacking victims,” which nowadays also includes “conducting basic journalistic inquiry into the veracity of claims calculatedly presented by an aspiring governor, Letitia James.”

And so, bizarrely, the task was left to me — a guy with a Substack. Just a bit of digging uncovered a piece of information which really should have torpedoed the entire putsch, but of course was ignored by the media, since it was not helpful for any of their preordained narratives. As I reported, it turned out a key “victim,” Charlotte Bennett — who was arguably the person most responsible for setting into motion the decisive chain of events which led to Cuomo’s ouster — had a rather noteworthy history. Just a few years before she made headlines by accusing Cuomo of “grooming” her as a 25-year-old political operative — and by her own admission, coordinated with other “victims” of Cuomo to keep the PR momentum going -— she’d been involved in a matter which, shall we say, cast a bit of doubt on her credibility. Bennett figured prominently in litigation against her alma mater, Hamilton College, because she was documented as having coordinated another phony sexual accusation campaign. This one against a fellow student, with the aim of getting him “ousted” from the campus. She succeeded in facilitating this ouster, but was later compelled to withdraw her accusation when evidence emerged showing it was a fabrication. In sum — and she’s never disputed this, despite repeated requests from me for comment — the lawsuit says Bennett fabricated an allegation against a male student and then coordinated a PR initiative with other “victims” to get that student expelled from the college. Almost to a tee, it was the exact formula she later employed with great success against a guileless Cuomo.

The question future juries will have to sort out is whether Bennett's personal claim of sexual harassment by Cuomo stands on its own merits and whether the allegations of all the women who came forward are part of a vast conspiracy of fraud.

We've long viewed the sexual harassment allegations as the means that establishment state Democratic party members chose to surgically remove Cuomo from office in order to prevent greater damage to their interests in holding power. The allegations, most of which the evidence we've seen suggests have validity, were heavily promoted to distract attention from Cuomo's COVID nursing home deaths scandals, which cost the lives of hundreds, if not thousands, of New York's nursing home residents through Cuomo's official actions. That scandal and its cover-up involved much greater abuses of power and the involvement of many more people than have been removed from office for their conduct related to Cuomo's sexual harassment allegations.

And it still needs to be dealt with by Cuomo's successors in office.
