In reply to the discussion: Former aide says Cuomo kissed her, suggested strip poker [View all]SunSeeker
(51,555 posts)36. It happens ALL.THE.TIME.
Virtually every woman I know has gotten a surprise kiss, namely a forced uninvited kiss. Guys who do this come at you like a cobra; you can flinch back but they invariably land their strike. They tend to do that when the woman's hands are occupied holding a drink or carrying books, so you can't react quickly to push them off. But regardless, they swoop in so fast you usually don't have time to react; you're just stunned.
There's a certain kind of guy that does that shit. Trump exemplifies the type: full of themselves assholes who don't care about other people's feelings.
Cuomo doesn't seem like that kind of guy. I would be more uncertain about that if his accuser didn't have major credibility issues. As HuffPo reported today:
HuffPosts Nina Golgowski obtained internal documents in December that indicated that Boylan resigned from her position with Empire State Development in 2018 after multiple colleagues accused her of abusive behavior ― not because of any alleged misconduct from Cuomo. In complaints filed to human resources, Boylan was accused of bullying and treating staff like children. Two employees asked to file their complaints anonymously because they had a significant fear of retaliation, the report states.

Well if the recall doesn't work, you can bet that will be the next strategy in their playbook.

So, you're saying that Republicans got Cuomo to hire aides who could turn on him when needed?
