A former aide to Gov. Andrew Cuomo, Lindsey Boylan has accused Governor Andrew Cuomo of sexual harassment. She said, he kissed me “on the lips” without warning inside his New York City office. The Governor has denied her allegations. Lindsey Boylan is s Democratic candidate for Manhattan borough president.
In a stunning post she published this Wednesday on Medium, Boylan writes-“ “Let’s play strip poker. “I should have been shocked by the Governor’s crude comment, but I wasn’t. We were flying home from an October 2017 event in Western New York on his taxpayer-funded jet. He was seated facing me, so close our knees almost touched. His press aide was to my right and a state trooper behind us.
“That’s exactly what I was thinking,” I responded sarcastically and awkwardly. I tried to play it cool. But in that moment, I realized just how acquiescent I had become.”
All of this comes under fire as Boylan claims of The New York Post’s recent news that Cuomo’s top aide, Melissa DeRosa privately admitted his administration was hiding the total number of nursing home deaths due to COVID-19 from lawmakers and the public fearing federal prosecutors would use it “against us.”
Mayor de Blasio remarked, “the bullying is nothing new.”
