President Joe Biden had once said New York Governor Andrew Cuomo was the “gold standard” and doing “one hell of a job”. This was as multiple sexual assault allegations were being lodged against Cuomo.
Now, New York Attorney General Leticia Jones has concluded Cuomo sexually harassed multiple women including a New York State Trooper on his personal security detail.
One of the governor’s former aides who claims she was a victim of Cuomo’s sexual harassment called on the governor to resign today. Cuomo, according to documents released by the state often picked on Bennett, sometimes complaining about how she did her hair.
“It’s taking everything in me to deal with this calmly,” Bennett told a friend. “I think I’m going to wear my hair in a bun every day until I see him leave.”
“This is a sad day for New York because independent investigators have concluded that Governor Cuomo sexually harassed multiple women and, in doing so, broke the law,” said Attorney General James. “I am grateful to all the women who came forward to tell their stories in painstaking detail, enabling investigators to get to the truth. No man — no matter how powerful — can be allowed to harass women or violate our human rights laws, period.”
