I don't love Andrew Cuomo. Have been New York international soil, Andrew would have been its czar.

I used to be very near Gov. Mario, his father. We cherished one another. Did dinners collectively. He escorted me to the governor’s mansion — confirmed me its non-public areas — from household kitchen to Andrew’s room.

I cherished Mario and Matilda. When The Put up suffered possession issues, Gov. Mario phoned me DAILY.

Zero causes to befriend Andrew. In a crowd he came to visit. Kissed my cheek. Heat, no. Brush-off, sure. No interviews. By no means known as. By no means returned repeat calls. Even earlier than the nursing dwelling scandal I felt anger towards him.

I knew his longtime live-in from years again. When first Sandra Lee met him, she got here to my dwelling. Simply us alone. We talked for hours. She requested about him. I stated he’s poisonous. I warned her. Ask Sandra. She’ll corroborate.

I don't care what occurs to Andrew. I now simply put forth what perhaps ought to be talked about.

Andrew Cuomo was an enormous shift in demeanor from his father Mario Cuomo, Cindy Adams says.

Fascinating findings in information

Andrew Cuomo forwarded me an enormous article from a Cato Institute fellow named Cathy Younger. It says partly: “His resignation could also be #MeToo extra not success.”

To paraphrase Younger: “Questioning these women’ credibility is seen as reprehensible. No one will ever give him a free cross or name Andrew angelic. However some trivial allegations — delicate banter, photograph ops, arm round a waist — don't imply he did nothing mistaken — however they query the doable weaponization of #MeToo.”

Groping one assistant lacked corroboration. Poring over the information, Younger acknowledged one other appeared to be rehired after leaving. That aide, who was operating in a major, was “incensed” over an govt order that shortened the nominating petition interval. Younger stated, in a stream of that aide’s textual content messages was discovered this message: “I'll discover methods to reply . . . Life is lengthy. And so is my reminiscence. And so are my assets.”

In 2017, a school settled a lawsuit of a male scholar who claimed he was falsely accused of “nonconsensual sexual contact” by a feminine Cuomo aide who was then a scholar. In response to the person, the aide “admitted as a lot in a recorded dialog, and had colluded with three different complainants.”

Cuomo, Younger experiences, instructed her, “Eleven instances of sexual harassment creates a press frenzy. Who will say something apart from, ‘You need to resign?’ ”

Cuomo served as governor of New York between 2014 and 2021.

One other look?

I do know Andrew. So am I whitewashing him? No. He very lately stated he’d get again to me. He didn’t. I do know his office was a struggle entrance. I do know he believed he’s impregnable. I do know he’ll say no matter he must say. I do know he’s trying to claw again up. I do know he’s not cuddly. And I do know if he finally ends up as a film usher I don’t care.

I’m simply mentioning what perhaps ought to be talked about.

May very well be Cuomo’s model is just too self-exculpatory. However following this scholar’s intensive fact-finding, presumably equity deserves — if nothing else — even when the schleppers’ transferring van will not be double parked to presumably relocate this former czar’s belongings again upstate — perhaps the findings deserve one other look.

In the meantime, again to work. Trip is while you get away from being cooped up in a tiny house with the partner, youngsters, perhaps in legal guidelines, perhaps completely unemployed brother and you may as an alternative spend two weeks with them cooped up in a tiny motel room — particularly when it rains.

Solely not in New York, youngsters, solely not in New York.
