Human Rights Campaign Fires President Alphonso David Amid Links To Andrew Cuomo
HuffPost
A report on sexual harassment allegations against Cuomo found David advised the then-governor over his response to the claims.
The Human Rights Campaign fired its president, Alphonso David, amid reports about his close ties to former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who resigned last month amid multiple allegations of sexual harassment. The HRC, the country’s biggest LGBTQ advocacy group, said it fired David for cause after its board determined he had violated his contract. The termination is effective immediately. “Yesterday and today, Mr. David released a statement that included significant untruths about the investigation and his status with the organization,” the group said in a statement posted to Twitter. “At HRC, we are fighting to bring full equality and liberation to LGBTQ+ People everywhere. That includes fighting on behalf of all victims of sexual harassment and assault.”More Related News
