It’s been a tough month for St. Andrew of COVID.
The walls are closing in on New York Governor Andrew Cuomo after another two women came forward with allegations of sexual improprieties during encounters with the Empire State’s top Democrat.
On Saturday, the Wall Street Journal reported that the woman who worked for Cuomo from 2013-2015 dished the dirt that the Albany strongman peppered her with questions about her own relationships, called her “sweetheart” and kissed her hand, granted that these are pretty flimsy but in the #MeToo era, even the most innocent of actions have been distorted and men of far less stature than Cuomo have had their lives destroyed without due process.
The allegation comes after two other former aides to the governor accused him of flirting with the obvious intention being to have sex with them, in one case, the overly horny Cuomo suggested that a game of “strip poker” was in order.
The account of Ana Liss adds fuel to the fire for those calling for Cuomo’s ouster although the entire “scandal” has a very fishy smell and thanks to the media, is distracting from the REAL scandal over the thousands of elderly New Yorkers who were effectively murdered by policies to sent COVID infected patients into nursing homes and later attempts to cover it up to prevent then-President Donald J. Trump from using it as a political football.
Compounding Cuomo’s woes was the account of a fourth woman who recalled a “very long, too long, too tight, too intimate” embrace in a “dimly lit” Los Angeles hotel room back in 2000 who told her tale to the Washington Post.

Via the New York Post, “Two more women accuse Gov. Andrew Cuomo of inappropriate behavior”:
Two more women came forward Saturday to accuse Gov. Cuomo of sexually harassing behavior, including a former press aide who describes struggling to free herself from his repeated hugs, and a young assistant who now says he left her feeling like “just a skirt.”
Former press aide Karen Hinton endured a “very long, too long, too tight, too intimate” embrace from Cuomo in a dimly lit Los Angeles hotel room in December 2000, she told the Washington Post.
The married Hinton pulled away, but “he pulls me back for another intimate embrace,” she told the paper. “I thought at that moment it could lead to a kiss, it could lead to other things, so I just pull away again, and I leave.”
The mounting allegations have blindsided Cuomo who was only a few short months ago at the apex of his power, riding high on a false narrative created by the dishonest media about his excellent leadership during the COVID crisis.
It was all lies and a devastating revelation by another aide that Cuomo had ordered the cover-up of New York nursing home deaths was the first shoe to drop.
Now Cuomo is facing investigations, calls for his resignation, and the likelihood that more women who he accosted telling their stories and they are coming out in droves.
Sometimes life comes at you fast and hard.
But is there something much more nefarious at play here?
What has gone largely unmentioned is that Cuomo isn’t the only Democrat governor with a dead people in nursing homes problem, Pennsylvania’s Tom Wolf, New Jersey’s Phil Murphy, and Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan all implemented similar policies in what would be a major scandal in a country with an honest media.
Then there is also the matter of clearing the decks for Kamala Harris in 2024, given the media’s buildup of Cuomo’s coronavirus response that ignored his dictatorial decrees, persecution of religious Jews, and swaggering bullying it has now become necessary to take him down.
The entire thing has the looks of a controlled demolition with a coverup of widespread negligence (or intentional) actions by Democrat governors in the nursing home deaths.
