New York politician Lindsey Boylan has accused New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo of sexually harassing her “for years.”
Boylan went from working for Empire State Development, to the governor’s office when she became deputy secretary for economic development and special adviser to Cuomo.
But she is now claiming that the gov. harassed her.
“Yes, @NYGovCuomo sexually harassed me for years,” Boylan tweeted. “Many saw it, and watched. I could never anticipate what to expect: would I be grilled on my work (which was very good) or harassed about my looks. Or would it be both in the same conversation? This was the way for years.”
Should Congress Remove Biden from Office?
“Not knowing what to expect what’s the most upsetting part aside from knowing that no one would do a damn thing even when they saw it,” Boylan added. “No one. And I *know* I am not the only woman.”

No one.
And I *know* I am not the only woman.

Boylan didn’t provide any details in her tweets.
The former aide also insisted that the gov. perpetrated a toxic work environment.
Despite the bombshell accusations, Boylan also claimed that she did not want to talk to any journalists.
“My second worst fear is having to talk about and relive this,” she said.
To be clear: I have no interest in talking to journalists.
I am about validating the experience of countless women and making sure abuse stops.
My worst fear is that this continues. And as @FKAtwigs said yesterday, my second worst fear is having to talk about and relive this.
