Cuomo accuser slams Biden, Kamala, plans to form PAC to primary Schumer, Gillibrand


Lindsey Boylan, who accused Cuomo in a Medium post of kissing her without her consent among other allegations, said on Twitter that she plans to launch the PAC in an effort to primary Schumer, who is up for reelection next year, and Gillibrand, who is not up for reelection until 2025.




...

Regarding Biden and Harris:

Lindsey Boylan, the first woman to accuse New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo of sexual harassment in a widening scandal, slammed President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris in a now-deleted tweet for staying silent on the allegations.

...small room & said it never happened.

2 weeks later she emerges with a fundraising PAC & the backing of the dreadful Gravel Institute. They endorsed Tulsi in the 2020 race.

She ran against Jerry Nadler in 2020 & lost 67 to 20 %. A 3rd person got the rest.

She better be investigated & found that her bs story is false. Cuomo should then sue her for defamation.

Will be interesting which other accusors will land where she did.
On the side of self-created political opportunity.

Cuomo seems firm on wanting an investigation to complete before resigning. I hope he can remain so. It’s fishy allegations like that which make an investigation absolutely necessary.

But she'll fundraise on that lie anyway as tho it's truth.

She sounds like another dirty player named Tara Reade. And actually it was Sirota & the red rose twitter army who loudly ran that salacious lie against Biden too.

Sat Mar 13, 2021, 10:52 AM
Mar 2021

Started by failed 2020 pres candidate Mike Gravel, he's now 91 yrs old, & a multi millionare endorsed Tulsi & Sanders.
His campaign was managed by a 19 yr old HS senior.

He has never made a statement in favor of the Dem Party or any Dem candidate or legislature.

Gravel institute is now being run by an ex comediene.
Gravel was a Libertarian until he changed to D to run for office.

There's that old familiar theme we see running in a loop.
Never a Democrat until they needed to run as one for money, media, & position.
Oh ya, & they immediately start a PAC to fundraise to run someone (anyone) against a lifelong Dem candidate.

As we see with Boylan.
Guess she found her "opportunity."

They aren't Dems. There isn't a Democrat they embrace, hattip, nor promote.
And you'll find them wearing the Red Rose on twitter. (Sarandon)

D in name only.
And yet they screech about Manchin. 🙄

ROGER STONE.
Mob raised & Mob owned.
Trump pardoned him for a reason & Roger owes a favor.

Weaken & destroy the Democratic Gov of NY so Trump doesn't fking die in prison.
Weaken & destroy the Democratic Blue stronghold of NY.

It's Not Hard to put 2 & 2 together and end up with Roger Stone owing a favor to a mob don.

I beg to differ.

There are a LOT of effective democratic leaders. We saw so many stars in the making during the last impeachment trial. Cuomo had good PR during the covid crisis until he didn't. Micromanager who fights with leadership across the state. That isn't effective. He's making enemies everywhere. It's a real problem for our state and was obvious to anyone living in NYC over the past year. Actually before that, with the pushing off problems with the MTA and other issues.)

She posted this a few hours before Schumer and Gilibrand called for Cuomo's resignation.

Read her twitter page. She's not actually setting up a PAC. She's venting furiously because she feels like leaders in the party were too cowardly to say anything and have been sitting on their hands.

I have no idea if she's telling the truth or whether she's got a screw loose, but there's absolutely no indication she's a Republican operative.

Mar 2021

Though, glancing through her Twitter feed, which kind of "Progressive" she'd be is not 100% clear.

Seems like she's been styling herself as one of the genuine liberal Democratic-type Progressive who advocate for strong Democratic actions.

Or she could be one of the hostile illiberal radicals focused on taking out Democrats. Some do pose as and hide among Democrats, while others are openly antagonistic to Dems. Maybe she's coming out?

Whatever, hostile Progressives often double team with Republicans against their common foe, and it sure looks like she's doing just that right now. "Ousting" is top priority with both.

Lindsey Boylan has overplayed her hand, this is not how sexually harassed women act (in my opinion). I have to eat crow and no longer believe she was sexually harassed, that or she has a really bad attorney. She should be devastated and scared to death (I know), she appears to be neither and is threatening those that have nothing do with the harassment. Something is not right - appears to be an opportunist. Brings in to question the other accusers.
