Former Cuomo Aide Says She Resigned After He Forcibly Kissed Her

Karen Hinton, Ex-Cuomo Aide, Corroborates Lindsey Boylan's Account of Governor's Bullying
Karen Hinton, who served as a press secretary to Andrew Cuomo when he worked as housing secretary for the Clinton administration, corroborated claims that the now–New York governor is a bully in an article published Wednesday.
In an op-ed published in the New York Daily News, Hinton described Cuomo as a "bully" who exercised "total control," and made disparaging comments toward her.
Hinton's statements came on the same day that former Cuomo aide Lindsey Boylan accused the governor of sexually harassing her and amid additional accusations that Cuomo bullies and harasses those he disagrees with.
"[Cuomo had] given me a job in 1995 and then worked to undermine me in it. Day to day, he made me feel as if I were no good at my job and thus totally dependent on him to keep it. In Cuomo's world—he would never admit this even to himself—working for him is like a 1950s version of marriage," Hinton wrote in the op-ed.
"He always, always, always comes first. Everyone and everything else—your actual spouse, your children, your own career goals—is secondary. Your focus 24 hours a day is on him," she added. "Escaping Cuomo is tough because he has to exercise total control."
Hinton also said that Cuomo belittled her previous experience working for Mike Espy, who later became a Democratic Mississippi congressman.
The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

"He told me I had only worked for a 'Black man from a small town in Mississippi' and, therefore, wasn't qualified to lead the public affairs office for him," she wrote.
"The Black man from a small town was Mike Espy, who became the first Black congressman from Mississippi since Reconstruction," she said, before adding, "But that was immaterial to Cuomo, who needed complete control."
Cuomo has come under intense scrutiny in recent weeks

I think the rules are different nowadays. Everybody thought Trump was done after the Access Hollywood Tapes, and then after the Capitol riot, and any number of times... people have short memories. If he can come back after being largely disavowed by his own party twice, Cuomo can come back, especially given that he is getting handled a lot differently by the media. Right now, people are still talking more about Ted Cruz than Cuomo. CNN will be more than happy to cover for Cuomo once the time is ready.

Originally posted by rogue06 View PostThen the smart political move would have been to wait awhile until it was closer to the election so that the more moderate wing of the party wouldn't have any real chance of grooming a replacement. What they're doing now (that is IF the more liberal wing is the ones behind it) is making it more likely Cuomo might be forced out of office or at the very least make it clear he won't seek reelection, thereby paving the way for a less leftist replacement to step up as a contender.
My suspicions are that Bloomberg is behind this. The two of them apparently despise each other and FWIU last year Cuomo was blaming Bloomberg for virtually any problems that New York was having combating the Chicom coronavirus and the latter would likely like to pay Cuomo back for that.
While Bloomberg is definitely from the more liberal wing of the party, again FWIU, he has virtually no chance of winning a statewide election and he knows it so if he is the one pushing this now it wouldn't be due to just wanting to beat up the competition, but as I said, more for personal payback.
I'll note that I don't have any intimate knowledge of NY politics or even follow it so these observations come from an outsider looking in.
I'm pretty sure the Progressives are behind this. The campaign for governor has started with the election to be held in 2022. The Progressives are trying to clear Cuomo out of the way so their candidate, NY AG James, can run. Got to it down this year so the Democratic primary can be a coronation,"For I desire mercy, not sacrifice, and acknowledgment of God rather than burnt offerings." Hosea 6:6
