What is it with politicians and always having to explain for actions they may or may not have committed? Obviously if the action is something negative, they always deny. But if the action is a net positive for them, all of a sudden they're going on book tours.
Chinese coronavirus "expert" author and New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) denied ever sexually harassing former aide and current far-left candidate Lindsey Boylan during her time working for him.
"Look, I fought for and I believe a woman has the right to come forward and express her opinion and express issues and concerns that she has,” Cuomo said. “But it’s just not true."
As part of a Twitter thread talking about how difficult the workplace is for women on Sunday morning, Boylan confirmed that she believes Cuomo harassed her while working in his office.
Yes, @NYGovCuomo sexually harassed me for years. Many saw it, and watched.

I could never anticipate what to expect: would I be grilled on my work (which was very good) or harassed about my looks. Or would it be both in the same conversation? This was the way for years.
Cuomo reiterrated his position on the matter during a Monday press conference.
"On the tweets, I totally respect a woman’s right, fought for a woman’s right to express any concern, any issue that she has in the workplace. I support that,” Cuomo said, according to the New York Post. “But the tweets were simply not true."
Boylan's accusation comes just days after she singled out working for Cuomo as the "most toxic team environment."
