Cuomo failed to change 'customary' touch-heavy style in years after #MeToo
Fox News
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo's own responses to sexual harassment allegations show that even if — as he claims — he did not intend to offend or harass anyone, he failed to alter his behavior even after the rise of the #MeToo movement.
"You can go find hundreds of pictures of me kissing people. Men, women, it is my usual and customary way of greeting," Cuomo said at a press briefing last week. That statement was an explanation for the alleged incident with Ruch in 2020, roughly three years after the #MeToo movement took hold following allegations against Harvey Weinstein in 2017. Bennett's claims were based on allegations from 2019. A new report by the Albany Times Union features allegations from a sixth accuser, a member of Cuomo's executive chamber staff, who claimed that Cuomo touched her inappropriately at the governor's mansion in late 2020.More Related News
