From nursing homes to sexual harassment – the lawyer

From the nursing home scandal to sexual harassment: Andrew Cuomo is not the savior we need at Gracie Mansion

By Aida Lynn Eloumri

Attention all New York! The shameful former governor Andrew Cuomo has now returned to the political arena. This time he chases a new role and becomes the next mayor of the Big Apple. Since he Officially announced his candidacy on March 2ndCuomo now leads the surveys with over 31% of the supporters who support him as a democratic candidate. New Yorkers start asking who you should vote for June 24thTHwhereby the primary school is overcrowded with Candidates. Nevertheless, from lies to the public over the Deaths of nursing assistants During the pandemic to the allegations of made by Thirteen women When he had sexually harassed her, Andrew Cuomo is not the savior we need as mayor.

First, Cuomo was perceived in Covid-19 in 2020 as the calm with his. daily press conferenceWith the New Yorkers, who provide current information on Covid-19 infection rates in the counties in the counties, the number of deaths that the state has seen every day. This trust has been broken out since then after the news about nursing homes “to let patients let go of the COVID 19 diagnosis, as mentioned in the administrations”, as mentioned in the administrations. March 2020 Directive. Cuomo intentionally set the public health of those who lived in nursing homes with the risk of developing Covid-19. The memory was the same guy who announced during his daily press conference that New York had had social distance, masks wearing masks when they go out in public, and to test when they presented any symptoms. This is the perfect example that Cuomo is a changing contradiction. Not to mention that the administration reported this 8.505 Long -term residents died of Covid in January 2021, which is over 4,000 Less than what was actually reported. I am not a mathematician, but deliberately underground the number of people who died during a pandemic “… New York is one of the few states that only count those who died for furnishings …” is absolutely ridiculous and tricky for public health.

Second, a further scandal came to light within the same year, in which the Lockdown in New York was slowly lifted. As early as March 2021, the former Cuomo employee Alyssa McGrath reported that she was sexually harassed and described by the former governor “..The, Mr. Cuomo would pack your body, notice her appearance and make your suggestive comments …”. We now live in a society for the ME-TOO/TIME. Power is the accountability obligation for your actions in the workplace. But McGrath wasn't the only one. The former adjutant of governor Cuomo Charlotte Bennett spoke with the New York Times about how it was “… asked numerous questions about her personal life – comments that she interpreted as a clear overture about a sexual relationship. ““ If you were in your job and someone who has a service who had boldness to ask you questions about your personal life in such a disturbing way, you should also consider this to be inappropriate. Lawsuit against BennettAnd claimed that she was lied to being sexually harassed. Yes, because nothing screams “I'm innocent” more than a defamation against her old colleague. Ultimately, this scandal was the last straw for Cuomo, like him resigned From New York governor in August 2021.

On the other hand, during his term as governor, he killed a decent guidelines that benefited many New York. From handing over the Climate management and community protection actwhich aims to make the state too carbon neutral by 2050 in order to implement the implementation of a comprehensive weapon control by the New York Safe Act 2013. Personally, I benefited from the Excelsior scholarship Initiative under Cuomo, which my family and I saved about 20,000 US dollars in tuition fees.

But even the positive initiatives that he did during his term as governor wore as a tyrant towards his employees and opponents. Would you like bullying with lies to operate the largest economic and political center of the country? I didn't think that.

In view of the basic democratic elections for the New York mayor, the New Yorkers have a big decision about the future of our city. But as Andrew Cuomo has repeatedly proven to all New Yorker, he is not the savior that we have to lead in January 2026.
