The man credibly accused of single-handedly killing more than 5,000 nursing-home residents by sending Chinese Virus patents to the facilities is now credibly accused of something else: sex harassment.
Lindsey Boylan, a “progressive” and Democrat candidate for Manhattan Borough president, says New York Governor Andrew Cuomo sexually harassed her “for years.” Nine days ago, she called the work environment in Cuomo’s offices “toxic.”
Of course, Cuomo denies the 36-year-old’s charges, which she lodged on Twitter yesterday.
Twitter Rant
Deputy secretary for economic development and special adviser to Cuomo, Boylan began rant by recalling the “first experience of workplace sexual harassment … when my mom got her first real office job after graduating from college when I was in high school.”
Her mom was “excited to be taken ‘seriously,’” but her boss “isolated her and kissed her. She never had that type of job again.”
Then came a long lament about “how hard it is for women”:
It was then I learned how hard it is for women. How hard this world can be for us when we are trying to be taken seriously and help our community. How easily jerks can destroy the lives of women.
And I promised myself I would never let those kind of guys win. I would work hard my whole life to put myself in positions of power to change things. To end the violence & corruption. Give voice to the voiceless.
I am not stopping. I refuse. I will never give up.
Then Boylan leveled the charge against Cuomo, albeit a vague one.
“Yes, @NYGovCuomo sexually harassed me for years,” she tweeted. “Many saw it, and watched.”
Working for the pro-abortion Democrat was trying, she wrote, because Cuomo always kept her guessing. And, she said, she isn’t the only victim of the governor’s unwanted attention:
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.
Not knowing what to expect what’s the most upsetting part aside from knowing that no one would do a damn thing even when they saw it.
No one.
And I *know* I am not the only woman.
Then came another lament.
“I’m angry to be put in this situation at all,” she wrote.
That because I am a woman, I can work hard my whole life to better myself and help others and yet still fall victim as countless women over generations have. Mostly silently.
I hate that some men, like @NYGovCuomo abuse their power.
Yet Boylan says she won’t talk to the media and worries about reliving the horror show:
To be clear: I have no interest in talking to journalists.
I am about validating the experience of countless women and making sure abuse stops.
My worst fear is that this continues. And as @FKAtwigs said yesterday, my second worst fear is having to talk about and relive this.
Why she brought it up, then, is inexplicable, but in any event Cuomo denies it all.
“There is simply no truth to these claims,” the governor’s spokeswoman said.
“Toxic” Workplace
Maybe, but last week Boylan foreshadowed what was coming when she attacked Cuomo and said she was still in therapy. Such was the trauma working for Cuomo that she still needs a regular check up from the neck up.
“Most toxic team environment?” she asked in response to another tweet. “Working for @NYGovCuomo.”
Waitressing at Friendly’s was a better job, she said before bringing race into the matter:
Don’t be surprised that it’s the same small group of white people sitting alongside him at every presser. The same group that he has had by him the whole time, doing his dirty work. If you’re not one of those handful, your life working for him is endlessly dispiriting.
What “white people” have to do with it she did not explain, but anyway, Boylan said she tried to “quit three times before it stuck.”
“That environment is beyond toxic,” she wrote. “I’m still unwrapping it years later in therapy!”
Whether Cuomo is guilty, Boylan’s testimony comports with data from Pew Research that show young leftist women self-report as mentally ill.
