THE NEW YORK TIMES: The governor’s strategist helped lead efforts to retaliate against one of the women who accused him of sexual harassment, the attorney general’s report found.
ALBANY, N.Y. — Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo’s top aide, Melissa DeRosa, said late Sunday that she had resigned, a move that came as the governor fought for political survival after a report from the New York State attorney general concluded he had sexually harassed nearly a dozen women.
Her resignation meant that Mr. Cuomo, a third-term Democrat, lost one of his most loyal aides and trusted strategists while facing an imminent threat of impeachment in the State Legislature and calls to step down from a constellation of top officials in his party, including President Biden and the House speaker, Nancy Pelosi.
Ms. DeRosa had stood by the governor’s side for years even as his inner circle shrank in size and many of the top staffers who had helped first elect him in 2010 left the administration.
The state attorney general report found that Ms. DeRosa had spearheaded efforts to retaliate against one of the women who had spoken out publicly about her allegation in December. » | Luis Ferré-Sadurní | Sunday, August 8, 2021
Sordid! I can think of no other word for this.
It must have come to your attention that almost all of these sexual harassment cases involve straight men who cannot control themselves or their sexual urges. They never seem to be about two homosexual men.
This misbehaviour is quite disgusting! Seeing two men, or two women, kissing and expressing their true love and affection for each other is rather tame in comparison with such awful stories of lewdness. – © Mark
