SECOND SEXUAL HARASSMENT ACCUSATION AGAINST CUOMO

This is from the NY Post:

A second woman has accused Gov. Andrew Cuomo of sexual harassment, according to a new report.

Charlotte Bennett, a 25-year-old former aide to Cuomo, told the New York Times that the governor asked her inappropriate personal questions and had said that he was open to relationships with women in their 20s.

More from Newsday:

"He asked me if I believed if age made a difference in relationships and he also asked me in the same conversation if I had ever been with an older man," Bennett told the newspaper, adding the governor asked her if she had sex in any of her recent relationships.

Bennett said she "absolutely" viewed those as clear overtures to a sexual relationship.

The accusation came just days after Lindsey Boylan, a former state deputy secretary for economic development, published an online essay accusing Cuomo of kissing her without her consent and making inappropriate comments. Cuomo denied the allegations.

Add in the nursing home scandal and the resulting bullying of Assemblyman Ron Kim for exposing Cuomo, the result is a weakened governor in need of friends.

I ask again why did the UFT and NYSUT not lean heavily on their wounded governor friend to waive the teacher evaluation law this year instead of just agreeing to one that has observations and Measures of Student Learning in the middle of a pandemic? 

Any judgement made against an employee based on their pedagogical skills in a pandemic is absurd and meaningless.

Lol what a weird transition... guy is accused of sexual harassment soooooo.... yeah let's not have have observations

Bronx ATR said...

Obviously, Mulgrew doesn’t care and is completely indifferent to the potential additional and unnecessary suffering of teachers, Mulgrew could have gotten Cuomo to agree to waive the teacher evaluation law simply by asking. Think about that. Mulgrew wouldn’t even make the effort to ask. So when you’re being observed by a horny Cuomo-like administrator who starts asking you about your sex life , after he’s observed you -realize how these individuals are enabled to do so - whether it be an incompetent union president, an indifferent bureaucracy or a society that gives out an Emmy award to a revolting governor.
I still remember the first time I was observed as a young new teacher way back in 1990.. The guy observing me was one of the main Social Studies administrators for NYS - a John-Paul something or other. After observing me teaching 9th grade Social Studies and going over my lesson after the class left, he told me I looked very stressed out and offered me a blow job. I was shocked, disgusted and told him to get out of my room. He promptly went to the principal and scheduled another observation with me for the next day. I told the principal under no circumstances was I allowing him back into my room. The principal demanded a full explanation and suggested I have union representation. After I told the principal what happened, in front of him, the APO, the Chapter Leader and school secretary, he laughed his head off for a full five minutes straight. The only ones that didn’t laugh were the women in the room. I understood right there and then something I never had before and never forgot - how truly horrible sexual harassment is. Cuomo should be impeached immediately.

Cuomo is horny, very horny.
He probably stayed on the porn channel throughout the entire pandemic.

Stay tuned folks, Cuomo's leadership is not sustainable.
and the ending of the soap opera could end up just like the Trumpster's
grand finale.

"Friend" sums it up. Mulgrew recently called Carranza his friend (CTE awards night).

To be a friend with those you negotiate/contest with is a difficult line. There must be the full understanding that negotiations is purely business and completely separate from the friendship. Once you step into the meeting that friendship is left outside.

Mulgrew has shown time and time again that his friends are more important than those he was "elected" to represent.

Key Understanding of the collaboration of the UFt with the DOE

Unity is a one way street.

With Mulgrew it was always "In unity" and Carranza always ended his bullshit letters
with "In Unity."

I always accepted that they were dog whistling their "one way street" autocratic leadership.
except when they were collaborating against the humanity and dignity of educators.

Their "In unity" the was code for the collaboration of Mulgrew and Carranza to partner
against the humanity and dignity of educators.

There were so many disgusting acts of vanity and callousness by Carranza.
I will mention two of them so he doesn't let the door hit him on the way out.

1) The decision to keep the schools open until March 13, 2021. This contributed to the
Covid deaths of more than 100 of our colleagues.

2) The decision to use of the Danielson rubric to evaluate teachers during the remainder of
the pandemic. This is another assault on teacher dignity and humanity. Mulgrew is part
of the collaboration and Mulgrew is definitely not part of the solution.
Carranza needs to grieve the unnecessary deaths of more than 100 DOE employees while
grieving his own friends and family that died as a result of Covid.

3) For many teachers working in the repressive organizational culture of the DOE is a
non-stop assault on their dignity.

Carranza's legacy in education is shall we say "disturbing". It is time for him to find a different gig.

I have heard stories from colleagues about inappropriate advances as well.also people sleeping their way to become an AP in my old school.this is why the DOE is shit.

As much as I hate Cuomo, I’m not yet convinced he sexually harassed anyone. Serious charges deserve a serious investigation before we label him a sexual harasser. I hope it’s not true. I think it would drive Cuomo insane if he wound up going down for something he didn’t do when there’s so much other stuff he did do.....and that would put a smile on my face.

Cuomo is going to choose the independent investigator, ha ha ha...

Anonymous said...

Yes indeed—the curse of a the 3rd term -and Cuomo was not ruling out a 4th term.. Now this really opens the door for a Republican Governor in the 2022 election. Maybe if Cuomo resigns — assuming an independent investigation presents clear evidence of these accusations- he could instead let a more moderate Democratic Lt. Governor Kathy Hochel from upstate -shine for the next 20 months. Her voting record from Congress—makes her appear as a maverick/ independent style Democrat. Does NY want the possibility of another 12 year Pataki style Republican Governor?

But getting back to Cuomo- have the feeling he would have felt very comfortable working at FOX and Roger Ailes. The governor’s own words on believing accusers have come back to haunt him along with his book chapters on leadership and transparency during the pandemic. Still waiting for CNN to let him appear on his baby brother’s evening program or any one of its daily programs. Let him to explain to Wolf. Tapper or Anderson—the misinformation with the nursing home death count—and recent sexual harassment claims. Former US Attorney Preet Bhara fired by Trump in 2017 and now a CNN analyst —gave warnings about Cuomo possible political abuses back in 2012. Ironically, Bhara often appears on Andrew Cuomo’s program. Have to give credit to Brian Stelter’s program for covering Cuomo’s accusations—but it’s a CNN Sunday morning program. Let’s see how CNN covers Cuomo going forward. He has refused to go on the CBS Face The Nation. And why hasn’t Gillibrand made any comments? She destroyed Al Franken before any investigation or hearing could ever take place.

Hard to believe that Cuomo was a media darling—everywhere-except FOX—just 6 months ago. But just remember, Cuomo’s tenure as an effective political figure ‘ain’t over till the Fat Lady sings’ —unless he is also accused of sexual harassment by some fat lady out there.

If Cuomo stays on till the end of 2022–he would be a 21 month lame duck governor with severely diminished political influence. But if he doesn’t resign, maybe there is one thing he can do—perhaps he can try to push the State Legislature leaders to agree on passing some sort of reasonable early retirement incentive by July 1. Or at least let Kathy Hochel make that effort—but not sure how supportive she is with labor unions.

Anonymous said...

Pataki was great, he re-instated the benefits of Tier 4 so they were basically equal to Tier 3. A Republican has to have strong alliances with someone to maintain office, why not Labor?
Sorry, but you're dreaming if you think Cuomo will support early retirement. Sadly, he has never been the friend of the municipal workforces.

Is that what Andrew Cuomo meant by ‘Excelsior’’ on all those new license plates? Will there eventually be a push to rename that Mario Cuomo Bridge in Rockland Country back to the ‘Tappan Zee’ name—which was always the favorite of the local community.? His father’s name really belongs on a major court house or some major state government building in Albany.

The smile on DeBlasio’s face keeps getting wider and wider and Ed Koch is yelling -‘Andrew, serves you right’-’ from above/below or wherever he might be located. Cuomo (he has no choice)- is allowing the NY AG and a State Judge to appoint an independent committee to investigate these complaints. Unfortunately, no matter what any commission reports—Cuomo’s name is tarnished like most sexual harassment people both before and after him—except Trump. It’s tragic—he has 3 daughters, an ex wife, Kerry Kennedy, a few sisters and ex live-in lover-who left about 2 years ago. But his 92 year old mom will still love him, and baby brother Andrew will still speak with him—but never on his CNN evening program.

Anonymous said...

Anon 1:19 . It was Pataki who kept vetoing the 55/25 retirement—every time it arrived on his desk. I believe it was Gov.. David Patterson that signed it into law in 2010. It’s always a case of the lesser 2 evils—you would prefer another Pataki or maybe Rob Astorino or some other upstate Republican —over a Democrat? Which Republican has ever sided with labor unions in NY State. The only one I could think of was Al Damato -as US Senator in Washington. He did side with Democrats in Congress on labor issues -related to NY State. He had no choice.
There are some educators that still prefer the anti-union Bloomberg over DeBlasio—that’s crazy .

Yeah, he has the same investigator that the Catholic Church used to investigate themselves. And Cuomo chose her for the investigation. Probably hoping that the fact he’s Catholic will save him. Not in this life or the afterlife with his stance on abortion (especially the barbaric partial birth abortion) and eldercide. It’s time to excommunicate him from NYS as well. He makes Spitzer and Weiner look like very classy and moral dudes, seriously - those two Jewish guys are 10000 times better than Cuomo in every way and they are now pariahs. Wiener would’ve been the mayor of New York City and Spitzer would have been the first Jewish president. I’m not condoning their misdeeds but Cuomo’s a hell of a lot worse.

Anonymous said...

For the record—David Patterson signed the 55/25 retirement for NYSUT in 2010—and Spitzer signed 55/25 for UFT in 2008. Pataki kept vetoing any early retirement bill that came to him during his last term.
I had some lucky Tier 4 friends that were able to comfortably retire earlier than they thought.
So, it is important to have a strong political labor union and not decide to just opt out despite how much you despise Mulgrew.

644. Trump never said to ingest disinfectant. Watch the full press conference when Trump spoke about it. This claim, like the "fine people on both sides" claim is another fake news hoax. Watch full videos. Stop believing edited videos shown to you by mainstream media. I agree with what you said about thugs and joking. Like you, I thought Cuomo would weasel out of this one but then he made the fatal mistake of apologizing (well sort of). Once you bow to the cancel culture mob, they know you're their bitch and you are toast. Wouldn't matter what I'm guilty of. I'd sooner kill myself than apologize when cancel culture assholes demand it.

According to the left Spitzer and Weiner have Jewish privilege AND white privilege. Based on the left's rules, Cuomo only has white privilege and therefore he's more acceptable to voters. If you're truly woke, you can't vote for a jew. Apparently in order to be anti racist now we must believe that Jews have had it too good. That can't possibly lead to anything bad, right?

Here are the exact quotes:
"A question that probably some of you are thinking of if you’re totally into that world, which I find to be very interesting. So, supposedly we hit the body with a tremendous, whether it’s ultraviolet or just very powerful light, and I think you said that hasn’t been checked, but you’re going to test it. And then I said supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way. And I think you said you’re going to test that, too. Sounds interesting, right?"

"And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in one minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning, because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it’d be interesting to check that, so that you’re going to have to use medical doctors with, but it sounds interesting to me. So, we’ll see, but the whole concept of the light, the way it kills it in one minute. That’s pretty powerful."

Trump: "I’m not putting anybody on a moral plane. What I’m saying is this: You had a group on one side and you had a group on the other, and they came at each other with clubs -- and it was vicious and it was horrible. And it was a horrible thing to watch.

"But there is another side. There was a group on this side. You can call them the left -- you just called them the left -- that came violently attacking the other group. So you can say what you want, but that’s the way it is.

Reporter: (Inaudible) "… both sides, sir. You said there was hatred, there was violence on both sides. Are the --"

Trump: "Yes, I think there’s blame on both sides. If you look at both sides -- I think there’s blame on both sides. And I have no doubt about it, and you don’t have any doubt about it either. And if you reported it accurately, you would say."

Reporter: "The neo-Nazis started this. They showed up in Charlottesville to protest --"

Trump: "Excuse me, excuse me. They didn’t put themselves -- and you had some very bad people in that group, but you also had people that were very fine people, on both sides. You had people in that group. Excuse me, excuse me. I saw the same pictures as you did. You had people in that group that were there to protest the taking down of, to them, a very, very important statue and the renaming of a park from Robert E. Lee to another name."

This is more fake outrage, or if you will, "fake news".

The sausage thing, big deal. Even the reporter says it's much ado about nothing.

Read what 1:02 put up. There's literally nothing there that's a problem. UV kills virii on surfaces. It would be nice if there was SOMETHING LIKE THAT, there isn't, but it would be nice. Imagine if no one ever thought of radiation treatment - gee, radiation is really deadly to people, but what if it was harnessed and controlled to kill the cancer cells? The person who came up with radioactive seed implantation thought the same way.

Charlottesville as reported by the media is a hoax. A lot of normal people who are for preserving history or against glorifying the Confederacy showed up. Some nutjobs on the left and right showed up there just to start and engage in fights.

Back to Cuomo. The most alarming thing is anyone can do this to ruin someone's life or career. Look what they did to Brett Kavanaugh. Another load of BS. Just because this time a leftist is the target doesn't make it ok.

To the OP - James does have a point though that our Union's job is to be "Teachers First". When you see a wounded animal you go for blood. They should have been able to get a deal out of him on evaluation in exchange for running interference for him on these BS lies and fake scandal.

If we were told the truth about certain things there would be a loss of control on the populace. Right now the media controls the narrative.

Dare I say some ethnic groups are more touchy feely than others. My Italian side is all in your face with hugs and kisses. But my Irish family is more of the handshake, pat on the back type of people. A man putting his hand on you isn’t always sexual harassment. Cuomo hasn’t been accused of anything Biden hasn’t been accused of. We have video of Biden touching and sniffing women while the women look very uncomfortable. If Cuomo has to go, so does Biden. Otherwise, get Cuomo on the nursing home scandal and let the other stuff go. I once had an openly gay Male AP. I’m a women. He would often flick my hair or touch my shoulder when he’d compliment my hair or outfit. He wasn’t trying to get in my pants. It was his way of being friendly. I pulled him aside and told him that doing what he did made me uncomfortable because we’re at work. He stopped. I’m not downplaying sexual harassment but if none of those women told Cuomo to stop, there’s no real story here. Men may make you their target, it doesn’t mean you have to embrace the role of victim.

Bronx ATR said...

Lots of interesting comments. Most of us, as teachers, learned many years ago not to touch students. That can be difficult for some demonstrative teachers. Any unwanted and unsolicited touch from an authority figure can be misconstrued as sexual or aggressive by the offended party. Indeed, it can and has been used as a weapon by students against teachers. Teachers know this and how is it that the Governor of NYS doesn’t know it? Cuomo’s nonsense doesn’t fly. Before I became a teacher, I worked in private industry and we were warned not to date our coworkers, or say or do anything to objectify someone. That was during the 1980s. Maybe that particular company was ahead of its time, but as someone with a lot to lose Cuomo knew what he did was wrong. He just never thought he’d be called on it. The man is completely possessed by his ego. Looking at that picture of him with that young lady’s face in his hands tells me he was either high/drunk on an unknown substance and/or his ego had taken full control of him. (It also reminded me of when Joe Namath was loaded and told a female reporter he wanted to kiss her.) As an older guy in a position of power and fame, he was fishing. Who knows maybe it worked for him years ago, (he did get a Kennedy and still seems to have and be attracted to very specific type - Irish or Irish looking women) , but he hasn’t come to the realization he’s a senior citizen. I’m sure his ego is taking quite a beating at the moment from his rational mind. It’s really quite pathetic. He’s going to have to be impeached for manslaughter and go on Silver Singles for a date. I’m not sure if the ladies will be lining up. Those that might would be in their 50s and 60s, not their 20s and 30s.

My question is why do these people send explicit text messages? Don't people know once you send a text or email it's like publishing it in the newspaper?

Based on the democrat party rules, Cuomo is guilty and should resign. As should Biden if making women feel uncomfortable by touching them is still the rule. Based on American due process, Cuomo is innocent until proven guilty. I hate Cuomo but love my American due process.
