I am sitting here in a state of total shock, not believing the turmoil over the “allegations” against Gov. Cuomo.
To me it should be called a “tempest in a teapot.” Since when did kissing someone at a wedding become an insult, crime or sexual harassment? And putting a hand on someone’s back is such a sexual move?
We hope the investigation shows that Gov. Cuomo comes from a cultural background that is expressive of affection, that he has three daughters with whom he is very close and could even have looked upon these staffers with that reference in mind, and that the discussions he had with these aides took place between them as the rapport that can naturally develop between a boss and close staff over time where personal details are often divulged.
And the allegations by Gov. Cuomo’s staff of “unwanted attention” – poor little ladies who couldn’t simply use their voice at the moment in self-respect to just say NO, and leave it as a lesson learned by a man without the attempt later to pull down an elected official chosen by New Yorkers.
I feel these women are disingenuously now reporting these “terrible insults” to help execute a political agenda against the governor and to enhance their own image in the media.
The sum total finding of the investigation must be that Gov. Cuomo never hurt, raped, or assaulted a single individual.
Finally, how is it that ex-President Trump actually abused, violated, and verbally denigrated women in plain sight over many, many years, and there was never any price to pay?

I agree. There must be an outcry about convicting someone in this manner.
I look forward to hearing from others like Litman.
I support Governor Cuomo.
I find myself agreeing with Claire. The rush to abandon Governor Cuomo by his own party is dismaying. None of these allegations has been proved, although clearly his behavior warrants a reprimand or censure. Do these lawmakers fear criticism if they don’t get on board this train? On the contrary, I feel very much disinclined to vote for my representatives in the State legislature if they don’t stand up for him. We have all been very grateful for Cuomo’s strong leadership in the pandemic. Let’s try to keep him where he belongs.
I agree with Claire Litman. The observations of this 93 year old woman are spot on.
In this CancelCulture #(hashtag) finger pointing accusing he-said-she-said quasi Covid era, no one is safe. Anyone can accuse anyone else of anything without real proof other than there word and faulty memory. Reputations can be ruined and families destroyed by a simple accusation. #Cuomodontresigntrumpdidnt. Trump was elected President of this country even after the misogynists’ words he uttered were recorded and played back to millions of voters.
