LIVE: Reacting to Andrew Cuomo's RIDICULOUS Response To Harassment Report

Katie, journalist Ross Barkin & Housing organizer Ava Farkas watch and react to Andrew Cuomo's bizarre recorded message responding to a five-month investigation from the Office of the Attorney General which found that he violated state and federal laws and that his administration created a toxic workplace. Cuomo responds in a way that only Andrew Cuomo can, including a montage of him touching people including Bill Clinton. Great optics.

Ava and others are calling for an eviction of Cuomo not tenants (sign the petition here ) and are organizing a protest outside of Cuomo's midtown office Wednesday at 11am outside Cuomo's Manhattan office at 633 Third Ave to demand impeachment and an extension of the eviction moratorium.

NEW YORK, NY — Gov. Andrew Cuomo sexually harassed multiple women and his administration fostered a toxic workplace that enabled the harassment to occur, a much-anticipated investigation by Attorney General Letitia James' office has found.

Independent investigators appointed by James concluded that the governor harassed 11 women — including former and current employees — by groping, kissing, hugging and making inappropriate comments, according to the 165-page report unveiled Tuesday.

The findings come after a five-month investigation spurred by multiple allegations against the governor that surfaced earlier this year.

"One by one, one courageous woman after another stepped forward — they stepped forward to say, 'Enough is enough,'" said Joon H. Kim, one of the two investigators leading the probe. "...These brave women stepped forward to speak truth to power and, in doing so, they expressed faith in the belief that although the governor may be powerful, the truth is more so."

The investigation found that Cuomo's actions were part of a pattern of harassment that violated both state and federal law and the policies of his own Executive Chamber.

The harassment extended beyond his own employees and included a State Trooper who was assigned to his security detail and a doctor who performed a COVID-19 test during one of Cuomo's press conference, according to the report.

The incidents include the governor taunting an assault survivor with sexual innuendo, grabbing multiple women's butts, reaching under an assistant's shirt to grab her breast and repeatedly asking women about their relationships and sex lives, according to the report.

In one instance, Cuomo told an executive assistant, who is married: "If you were single, the things I would do to you."

The assistant, who was also groped, told investigators that she had planned to take the incidents "to the grave" due to fear she'd lose her job, but broke down when she saw Cuomo deny allegations during a press conference earlier this year.

"It was a culture where you could not say no to the governor and if you upset him or his senior staff, you would be written off, cast aside or worse," Kim said of the work environment....
