Whom says she has not talked to Cuomo since February.

In the news here, the top people running NY haven't spoken to him in months. I have heard multiple higherups say they have not spoken since X and every response was more than a few months.

WTH is watching after one another?

Does anyone have video of photos of any of the incidents being reported as sexual harassment?  Don't get me wrong- I am all against true sexual harassment, but something Cuomo said leads me to be skeptical (and I think skepticism is healthy) about all this: 

“In my mind, I’ve never crossed the line with anyone, but I didn’t realize the extent to which the line has been redrawn. There are generational and cultural shifts that I just didn’t fully appreciate, and I should have — no excuses,” he continued.

It's too bad this kind of thing isn't caught on camera so we could assess for ourselves the extent of the accusations.  At what point is hugging, for example, no longer acceptable?  I've had women come up and hug me without my permission.  Is that sexual harassment?  Is this?

 

I'm not making excuses for anyone or getting soft on true sexual harassment.  I'm just suggesting we be more skeptical, especially about accusations made in the political arena.  We all know it's true that false claims are made there.

rubbing a woman's ass has never not been over the line.

If that really happened, I agree.

If we’re going to exercise skepticism, it should apply equally both within and outside of the political world. It’s unacceptable when a person with literal power does it, as much as the “friendly neighbor” who does the same.

Was the ass rubbing done on someone different than the breast cupping?

I don't know.  Are you sure those things happened, and if so how do you know for certain?

His actions are of an old school way of doing things.  That doesn't fly today.

The breast thing I believe was of him grabbing a persons name tag, or that is part of the story.

He sang to a gal which I thought was harmless.

He asked sexual questions to female staff members.

At the end of the day he behaved in a manner that someone of his stature should not.

Again, I'm am NOT saying sexual harassment is OK.  NO WAY! What I'm saying is, be open to skepticism and don't believe everything you read, especially in social media.  That's all, that simple, and I'm outta here before MY ass gets harassed!

what I just read was nothing about a name tag; he allegedly put his hands under her blouse and cupped his hands on her breasts over her bra.
