      NY Governor Cuomo ( D) helped draft letter disparaging his first sexual harassment accuser: report

      Soon after the first woman accused Gov. Andrew Cuomo of sexual harassment last December, the governor and his close associates worked to draft a letter attacking the former aide’s credibility, a new report said Tuesday.

      The letter, which was never released, disparaged Lindsey Boylan and accused her of coming forward for “political retribution,” according to a copy reviewed by The New York Times.

      Boylan, one of seven women to accuse Cuomo of inappropriate conduct, first made her claims in a series of Twitter posts — before sparking the sexual harassment scandal against the governor with more details in a post to the website Medium.

      In the days after Boylan’s tweets, at least one draft of the attack letter began circulating among allies to the governor’s current and former top aides, sources told the newspaper.

      The initial intention was to get former top statehouse staffers — with a focus on women — to sign onto the letter, the report said.

      One draft of the letter noted a campaign consultant to Boylan, who is now a Democratic candidate for Manhattan borough president, also worked for a Cuomo political enemy.

      The letter went on to say that Boylan was “supported by lawyers and financial backers of Donald Trump: an active opponent of the governor,” according to the Times.
      It concluded: “Weaponizing a claim of sexual harassment for personal political gain or to achieve notoriety cannot be tolerated. False claims demean the veracity of credible claims.”:://///:::::.:::////

    3. Im tired of the Communist News Network trying to lump a people who didnt vote for Xiden as a Trump supporter! When the cancel culture eats your socialist side within, i wonder what the Communist News Network will say then? But since dissent is not allowed, i have been shadow banned so only one or 2 of you morons will see this post.

    1. @Trashed just out of interest, how many people have died by having the jab compared to how many have died from not having it?

    3. Don’t worry. Soon they will have your doctors persuaded too. They will believe anything their puppet masters tell them

    4. @* Tz’yion* There are no words for nut jobs like you living in a dystopian fantasyland. No, the whole world isn’t trying to trick you. Stop watching conspiracy theory shows and get help for your paranoia and delusions.

    5. @Meghan Hello little sheeple. LOL you snowflakes like to label everything a conspiracy theory don’t you? Do you mind pulling all of the experimental data and evidence that you have at hand? I don’t mean news articles. I mean… I want you to list out the chemical breakdown of EVERY SINGLE ingredient inside of the vaccine. I also want you to explain the adverse factions to the chemicals and functionality of the human body reaction.

      Awwww. Did I hurt your little feelings? Clap for your puppet masters lab rat 😅 bend over and take your vaccine. Come back and call me a conspiracy theorist in an effort to hurt my feelings. I’m SO hurt. I’m crying! 😅😂😅🤣😂😅 LOL I could care less that your lack of common sense through a YouTube comment.

  1. Still questioning the vaccine even after their orange savior got his and they say they don’t want to be indoctrinated! Trump brainwashed these people against the vaccine while he and his family received their shots!

    1. Dear Comrade Bell: I think you are eaten up w/ TDS & deep, rabid hatred of God’s people (those with human spirits). And “Yes, God DOES exist, Margaret”, just as you atheists believe that Santa exists). Your illogical propaganda also reveals your total lack of understanding for the Constitution (it just dawned on me why your side is willing & now able to dismantle it). Allow me to ‘re-edumacate’ you…
      All but leftsts (a/k/a ‘mentally ill liberals’, as opposed to the moderate kind), comprehend that “inalienable rights” of our citizenry encompass our RIGHT to refuse medical care or treatment, after being given INFORMED CONSENT (not socialist-propaganda & state-enforced edicts that land us with hefty fines or time in the ‘ole communist gulags). If you need further clarification of these concepts, then may God help us all!
      Intelligent life forms value their own lives, & will NOT automatically accept the ever-changing opinions of “experts” like the lying, double-minded, POS Fauci who have crack-adled brains.
      Wise men & women will be extremely careful about being given vaccines from, or trusting the veracity of, incompetent, inept, hateful, manipulative propagandists whose ideologies & policies are ant-freedom, anti-American, anti-Judeo-Christian, anti-human rights, & anti-capitalist members of the American Communist Party, the Chinese Communist Party (you know, the evil Party who created & distributed the China virus, then who bought up as much PPE as they could & price-gouged it to make money off the families & friends of the people they murdered).
      Marxists, socialists, communists, & anarchists throughout history have taught us to be skeptical of these people, so PUHLEASE excuse intelligent Trump-supporters for making our own, individual choices in life based on our own, individual, research & evaluation. YOU & OUR EVIL GOV’T ARE NOT OUR GOD OR OUR MOTHERS/FATHERS, & neither is Trump (who at least had the forethought to ban travel from China during a pandemic of that country’s own making, making a pathway for Operation Warp Speed, encouraging entrepreneurs to manufacture millions of units of PPE, take us out of WHO (a China-run globalist organization, but primarily U.S. funded), & develop a system whereby pharmacies & other non-governmental entities were in charge of distributing millions or more vaccines per day to the U.S. population, all BEFORE Biden/Harris were even inaugurated into office!

    2. @Joshua Mackey Doesn’t it mean anything to you that more Americans have died from covid-19 than during the two world wars and in Vietnam? And just in one year … You are crazy, you live in the clouds.

  2. So NOW they want to be educated… They weren’t interested in facts and reality a few weeks ago but when progress is actually being made, they want to be included. Even though they fight against progress.

    Typical.

    1. @Sophie Robinson That is nonsense.
      And they’ve been trying to artificially disenfranchise white men in recent years so what do white men do? We go start our own companies and that’s how we maintain ourselves. Anyone and everyone could start a company. It is just a matter of desire and drive.

    2. @Sophie Robinson
      Everyone has done bad things and even more so than the white man. As a matter of fact we were the ones who ended slavery. Yes we had it but some of us were the ones who took initiative to change it. You have to give England and the United States that credit. No Asian Nation no African nation no Arabic Nation or any other took the steps to outlaw slavery. Slavery still exists today in many countries around the world.

      Everyone everywhere had slaves during the same time that we did. Historically though, Africans enslaved Africans and Chinese enslaved chinese. This was the way it was around the world with ethnically similar groups enslaving ethnically similar groups until people started building ships and the Arabic people went to Africa to get slaves while the Romans went to Gaul to get slaves. Gaul was the area which is now Germany and France and other neighboring Nations.

    3. @Sophie Robinson Native Americans killed each other over land before whites ever got to what is now the North American continent.
      Are you going to go around trying to find out which tribe first had each territory and try to put them back on the land? You have a hell of a task before you since it’s all changed hands many many times.

    2. @Kick in the Bass TV wtf Are you talking about? If they Self Identified as Trump Voters who are you to contradict them?

    1. @Belly Dancer Em Do you mind providing evidence of all the studies they have done? I’m not talking about internet articles. I mean, I want results from test subjects. All the proof these ‘experts’ came up with! Pretty please?

    2. @Jack Docherty Why would you say such a thing? Are you trapped in a thought process that only allows you to condemn others? Are you trying to hurt a stranger’s feelings?

    3. @jones You did it again! You are a proper word Mill. I hope you have other outlets for your work.

    4. @American Artist 
      I appreciate the good word. This is a hostile environment, rife with immature rudeness and irrational thought, as I trust you can plainly see. One _”Max Headly”_ posting here, who appears to be reasonably intelligent in his comments, inexplicably has repeatedly attacked me and accused me of being pro-Trump; despite the clarity of my position. I only mention this as an example of the abject stupidity, immaturity, lack of decorum and arrogance that prevails on these comment pages, which renders me a bit reluctant to try and attract any attention to my wordsmithery in and of itself.  Also, I prefer to stay on topic as much as possible.

      I am not _”working”_ on anything these days, but I appreciate your comment. What you have seen here on this page has merely been generated impulsively and not as the result of any concerted focused effort, beyond the indignation that many of us have experienced at the attempted destruction of our moral fibre and our democracy by racists and immature criminal treasonous troglodytes.

      However, all that being said _(please pardon the pomposity of my verbosity),_ I submit the following pre-election silliness for your perusal, as well as the missing lynx at the very bottom that perhaps may address your original kind comment, as well as your subsequent comment that just came in. Thank you once again, my friend. United we stand, and united we shall prevail.
      Namaste.

    1. I think it does, more republicans will die because they are too stupid to protect themselves and communities

    2. Barry hayes But that’s not the virus Barry. That’s the way people choose to conduct themselves during these turbulent times of darkness and uncertainty. Everybody has the right to choose the way they combat the virus against themselves and their families. I made my choice. I didn’t go to spring break this year. LOL. I wouldn’t have went anyway, I’m old. I’m glad this didn’t happen when I was a teenager and in my early 20s, I use2 love 2 party. Good luck and stay safe Barry!

    4. @Barry hayes Yes. Survival of the most mentally adaptable – the ones who use their heads instead of frothing at the mouth about “It’s a Democratic hoax!, The election was stolen! Wearing a mask destroys muh freedums!”

  3. Interesting conversation? These people live in an alternate reality!The right wing caused this just like voting fraud. This country is a mess

    1. @Ben Masta onl;y 15 people have this
      It’s like the flue
      No masks
      Wearing a gas mask on the Senate floor
      If you need more “evidence” do your own research

    2. @Vick There’s something seriously wrong with you.

      edit: you are also proving my point perfectly you know

    3. @jakemf1 My grandpa died of covid but yeah keep telling me how it doesnt exist. He was on a ventilator with insane amounts of oxygen just to keep him breathing.

      Its so much easier to act like its not a problem when it doesnt affect you.

    4. @Ben Masta
      So.. there is something seriously wrong with people who apparently call attention to the truth.
      Yeah

  4. When you only listen to trump for the virus to miraculously disappear. 1 year later still here and killin

    1. Cogntive test:
      Trump:
      Please repeat 10 th Question:
      Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV
      Biden:
      Please repeat 17346 th Q:
      Person, Woman, Man, Camera, TV, House, Plane, Radio, Fruit, Elevator, BBQ, Police, Horse, Job, Tree, Chicken, Snake, Cup, Capitol, Truck, George Washington, Supercalfragilistexpialidocious….

    2. Right! Then he said after the election COVID would be over. So the entire world is in on getting you out of office. Donnie is a pig

    3. Im tired of the Communist News Network trying to lump a people who didnt vote for Xiden as a Trump supporter!

  5. Why was the vaccine issue the Democrat’s fault? That was very confusing. It was politicize by Trump DUH

  6. Amazing they’re not embarrassed to show their mugs on tv so the world knows how ignorant they are.

  7. They want to hear from medical professionals????

    *What the hell do they think we non-Cultists have been trying to tell them for months, now?*

    1. @Joseph Parmer … Nobody tells us. We watch them bow to their cult master, wear his name, carry his flag, chant his name… If you don’t see it, you are probably one of them.

    3. @Kick in the Bass TV the only reason that you’re commenting on cnn is that you’re a Russian bot.

    4. @Kick in the Bass TV then stop watching them. The solution is pretty simple. Or better yet, start your own YouTube channel and debunk what lies you think they’re spewing but make sure to back them up with facts.

  8. I would be willing to bet that my lovely, young cousin would have said yes to the vaccine, who died horribly of Covid-19 in October 2020. We are decimated by the loss of her.

  9. “We want to be educated, not indoctrinated”… but you’re already indoctrinated by Trump.

    They just never cease to amaze me.

  10. People will be kicking themselves in few weeks if they miss the opportunity to buy and invest in bitcoin

    1. Expert William Ava has been managing my trade for months and I keep making profits every week , made $9,130 last week

    2. I’ve worked with 4 traders in the past but none of them is as efficient as he is , he trading strategies are awesome !
