New York’s Governor Andrew Cuomo is eating his words. The Democrat governor has been accused of sexual harassment by former aide, Lindsey Boylan an allegation he adamantly denies. However, according to his own standards, an outright denial isn’t enough to put a rest to question if the harassment occurred but taking a polygraph is. In fact, Gov. Cuomo demanded Kavanaugh take a polygraph when he was accused of sexual misconduct or have his appointment to the bench thrown out. Now that Cuomo is the focus of allegations he’s been suspiciously quiet about offering to take a polygraph.
The Daily Wire reported:
“Why won’t [Kavanaugh] take a polygraph?” Cuomo asked President Donald Trump in a statement released at the time. “Dr. Ford did. If he does not take a polygraph test, it is the ultimate, ‘he said, she said.’ It is the one powerful piece of evidence that seriously damages his credibility and the credibility of his Republican supporters, including yourself.”
“You can and should ask him to take the test,” Cuomo continued. “If he refuses, you should pull the appointment. It will show at least a modicum of fairness on your part. If you do not insist that Judge Kavanaugh take a polygraph, it will be further evidence that you are putting political motivation over your constitutional obligation. Do not aid and abet a lie. Demand a polygraph.”
In a letter penned to Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) in 2018, Blasey Ford claimed Kavanaugh attempted to sexually assault her at a house party in the early 1980s, though she said she was unable to specify exactly where or when the alleged incident took place. The dubious claim was uncorroborated, the alleged witnesses she named deny any knowledge of the party or outright refuted the accusation, and the Senate Judiciary Committee ultimately found that there was “no evidence to substantiate any of the claims.”
Lindsey Boylan who worked for Gov. Cuomo for years took to Twitter to recount the years of harassment she endured at the hands of the Democrat lawmaker.
Yes, @NYGovCuomo sexually harassed me for years. 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.
