Cuomo has 2 more sexual misconduct complaints leveled against him

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) has another pair of complaints lodged against him over sexual misconduct as two former aides came forward with the allegations. This makes a total of five complaints, and state Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins (D) of Westchester county said that all it would take would be four allegations as her magic number before calling for Cuomo's resignation.

So far, crickets from Stewart-Cousins (D).

Karen Hinton, a former press aide to the governor, said that he summoned her to his "dimly lit" hotel room and embraced her twice after a work event in 2000, according to The Washington Post.

The accuser said she pulled away from Cuomo and he pulled her back into his body, holding her in an embrace and implying that he liked the cut of her jib and would she have crazy monkey sex with him.

Pete Ajemian, Cuomo's communication director and whose paycheck depends on whether Cuomo keeps his job, aggressively denied the allegations, in spite of his not being in that "dimly lit" hotel room with Cuomo and Ms. Hinton, so he knows what the facts are as much as my Eight Ball game.

"This did not happen," he said, almost convincingly. "Karen Hinton is a known antagonist of the Governor’s who is attempting to take advantage of this moment to score cheap points with made up allegations from 21 years ago. All women have the right to come forward and tell their story — however, it’s also the responsibility of the press to consider self-motivation. This is reckless."

Except when it's about a Republican. Then it's "believe all women." And now we have five.

In response to the Cuomo office’s denial, Hinton correctly said, "attacking the accuser is the classic playbook of powerful men trying to protect themselves."

Concurrent to Hinton's accusation, another former aide, Anna Liss, said that she worked for Cuomo between 2013 to 2015. During that time frame Gov. Cuomo asked her if she had a boyfriend, a question that's inappropriate in all circumstances at work, but especially suck-worthy when it comes from a boss. She said that Cuomo touched her on her lower back and kissed her hand as she rose from her desk.

At first, Liss saw Cuomo's flirtations as harmless, which shows that she didn't know much about men at least during that time in her life. Predictably as time went on, she began to see his overtures as patronizing and said it diminished her from an educated professional to "just a skirt."

"It’s not appropriate, really, in any setting," she said.

Meanwhile, two male aides told The Post that the governor routinely used explicit language to berate them, calling them "pussies" and saying, "You have no balls."

Cuomo's claims regarding his male aides remain unsubstantiated at this time, and Andrea Stewart-Cousins is still mum.
