15 March 2022: After First Ad Fails, Cuomo Tries Again with Another

Former governor Cuomo releases new ad, tries to rehab image

Andrew M. Cuomo's first ad aimed at swaying the pool of potential jurors his legal team expects to face in multiple civil lawsuits brought by the female victims of his alleged sexual harassment of them was something of a bust. Cuomo's PR team has therefore followed up with a new ad, as this report describes. Here's an excerpt:

Cuomo resigned in August of last year, after 11 women came forward to accuse him of sexual harassment, and Attorney General Letitia James issued a scathing report backing up their claims.

Cuomo has denied ever touching anyone inappropriately.

In the new ad, Cuomo speaks directly to voters: “I haven’t been perfect. I’ve made mistakes,” he says.

“But I also made a difference.”

Since he left office, five district attorneys across the state have declined to prosecute Cuomo on the sexual harassment claims. His first ad, which ran for several weeks, argued he was the victim of a politically motivated attack.

Each of the five district attorney stated the sexual harassment charges against Andrew M. Cuomo were credible, with one specifically stating their decision to not prosecute Cuomo on criminal charges was not an exoneration.

Cuomo, as always, desperately needs better PR people and more legal help.
