He definitely raised the bar on what politicians can get away with. Franken should demand his seat back under the 'Trump clause'.

Lol.

So the person he groped is not named and the story was told to someone familiar with the incident.

He says she says.  Here say.

Cuomo is an older single man that flirts with younger girls whom don't want the attention.  Just my take.

No repeat offences though?  That is why it sounds like a man flirting to me.

So putting your hand up a ladies dress/skirt is now flirting...hmmmm.

Read my first sentence.

Give me real facts.  Not here say.

The claims made by a former aide in the newspaper's report would be the most serious allegations made yet by any of the six women who have come forward;  

The most recent claims have not been independently verified by NBC New York 

Meltdown99

And even if he is just flirting...it is never ok for a person to flirt in order to get sex from an employee...

he is just another scum bag corrupt politician...

Even if this most recent allegation were to prove to be untrue, there's far too much info already that says he is more than just a flirty single old man. And as Meltdown stated, doing it in the workplace (where he's the one with all the power) is 100% wrong.

I've done the sexual harassments classes but it's been a while.  Any flirting at work falls under this, I get it but  I don't see him as being a creep.  He set out a flag and stopped.

The latest one if sticks is/should sink him.

We discussed this somewhere else and there were quite a few people that see his actions as a flirt.

I agree, that the named sources sounds like old man flirting. But what makes it worse is his position. A principal shouldn’t be flirting with teachers 30 years younger. A governor doing that would even be worse. Now does that mean she should resign? Maybe not. But I’m okay with people calling him old man creepers.
I’m okay with him be outed for his nursing home scandal. At least give back your Emmy!

Each accusation gets worse....almost by design

Not saying it didn't happen but it seems very odd. 

cincybearcat

A person in power making comments to any of those ladies that work for him basically is committing sexual harassment. 

It’s not ok, it’s not ok to start and stop once then rebuked. You should never start.

How many of you have made comments to a younger co-worker having sex with older men? I’m betting none, because it’s creepy and if you are in power it’s worse than creepy.

If this allegations are true, it's a terrible thing he did.  If the allegations are false, it's a terrible thing for everyone.  The problem is, there is very little information in the media that can be trusted anymore.  I only believe a small percentage of what I read, and even then I am skeptical.  But skepticism is not de regueur these days.  It is more fashionable to read something in the tabloids or on Facebook and quickly knee jerk. 

F Me In The Brain

Where there is this much smoke there is likely fire.

Creep.

If only he was caught on video talking about how he likes to grab them by the p0887 or something.

Oh yeah, it wouldn't make a difference with the idiot voters these days.  Still electable.

Out of My Mind and Time

Kavanaugh accusations sticks out big time. Bunch of fucking hypocrites.

How far back you want to go?

Kamala?
Biden?
Weiner?
Justice C Thomas?
Clinton?

The fact they have a slush fund of taxpayers money for sexual lawsuits tells you everything.  Bunch of fucking scum these politicians.

This may very well be POOTWH's ace in the hole. Seems odd the allegations are only coming out now, while POOTWH is under intense scrutiny and likely facing charges in NY State.  A repub gubner could pardon him. That said, Andrew is an old, lonely, creepy guy and if the investigation or a civil suit determines the charges are credible, he should resign and face whatever consequences there may be. Timing is everything. Of which there should be some reform, for the accused and the accuser, but I don't profess to know what that solution would look like. I have ideas but its a complicated, multi-faceted and difficult issue.

As a woman (the only one posting here this far?), I understand honestly innocent flirting. What I don’t get crossing is the line, actually touching someone.

Anyone trying that crap with me, as an adult, would be called out and then some. Don’t care if it’d been my boss or some other high suit. That shit doesn’t fly; it shouldn’t even have wings.

I agree with the smoke probably pointing to flames, as well as the utter hypocrisy of our politicians.

Yeah I agree....touching someone is way out there.

"He's not Trump" isn't the reason he could not have done it. It's the reason he's probably not going to survive it with essentially no support lost.

Repubs are supporting tRump running again in 2024 despite all of the allegations against him and despite what a horrible job he did.

Yup.  Anyone calling Cuomo out and supporting trump is a hypocrite.

And yet Kavanaugh and Trump suffered no repercussions. Cuomo was already elected, but he definitely won't be going any further with his career. He's a creep. Seems to be a trend among middle aged men in a POA.

gimmesometruth27

i think cuomo needs to step down. 

that said, we cannot have one party adhering to a certain standard and doing what is right while the other one does the opposite. 

i believe that allegations against cuomo are going to continue to come out until the heat gets too hot. his political career is basically over now.

but any trumpers coming out and demanding resignation when trump has 20+ allegations can go jump in a lake.

josevolution

Yep pretty much he has to go! And I agree with you Gimmie, 

brianlux

If Cuomo actually did what he has been accused of here, I say give him the boot.  But where here is the proof?  All I hear is you guys saying he did it.  Yes, I could go hunt down the evidence myself, but I'm not going to because you guys made the accusation, not me, and there has been no verifiable evidence presented here.  I'm going to be stubborn on this (and you know me, I am rarely stubborn) and not cut you any slack.  If you make an accusation, show the proof.  Otherwise, it's just gossip, and you people are/can be better than that.

F Me In The Brain

That sounds horribly unfair to the women involved.

Proof or nobody believes you.

Sort of supports the type of environment that powerful men can act like predators in and have for years.  

Why would a woman ever come forward if she doesn't have an assault recorded?

Throw out the anonymous claim and you still have women sharing stories of him being a creeper and sexually harassing some of them.

Reserving judgement is fine and can make sense....but demanding proof in cases like these is odd, to me.

Telling me I can be better than that is also pretty darn odd.  I believe that women have been held down with this thinking.

I choose to believe the stories of the victims and not the powerful, lying, politician.

Same as I believed those standing against Kevin Spacey.  Kobe Bryant.  Donald Trump.  Celebrity and power does not mean people can get away with it.  In the case of Cuomo he is a known liar.  (Fact)  So, should people just accept that when he says these women misinterpreted his creepiness that Cuomo is now an honest man?

Not this guy.

If this is the standard then Joe Biden needs to step down from President because he's a creep that hugs a little too long or sniffs womens hair.

What's good for one is good for all right?

Edit: he had accusers too.
