Protesters buried government Andrew Cuomo – and to praise him – during the duel in Manhattan on Saturday.
Lindsey Boylan, the first female accuser whose allegations of sexual harassment while a member of Cuomo’s staff lit the fuse over the ongoing attempt to oust him, led claims for his accusation in Washington Square Park.
“Abuse does not limit itself to one person or one area,” Boylan told a crowd of about 100 activists. ‘Someone who abuses their power is not just doing it to one woman or one community. They do this to some degree to every person and every community. ”
Boylan, now a Democratic candidate for city council president in Manhattan, also complained to state House Speaker Carl Heastie, accusing him of leading a ‘sham investigation’ into the series of allegations against Cuomo, his longtime ally.
In Midtown, about 40 “Cuomosexuals” gathered outside the governor’s Third Avenue office to show their support, with homemade signs reading “Cancel Karen Culture Not Cuomo” and “Do Not Resign.”
“He’s an emotional man, he’s an Italian,” said Karen Gregorski, 73, of Manhattan. He dismissed allegations of harassment and abuse made by Boylan and seven other women.
‘Did he kiss someone or did he touch someone’s cheeks? Come on, ”Gregorski said. “If he touches my cheeks, I’ll kiss him.”
