crimycarny
(2,090 posts)I missed that. Wow...
Budi
(15,325 posts)...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.
crimycarny
(2,090 posts)Cuomo seems firm on wanting an investigation to complete before resigning. I hope he can remain so. Its fishy allegations like that which make an investigation absolutely necessary.
Budi
(15,325 posts)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.
Cha
(318,868 posts)or just Accusations?
I'm disappointed in Schumer.. what happened to due Process?!
Without proof this is looking like a real live witch hunt to me.
Budi
(15,325 posts)Crazy thing is, Boylan's now got a fundraising PAC to run a primary against Schumer!!
You'd think the'd have learned from the Franken bs when it comes to salacious backstabbing of one of their own.
HEY CHA

(13,283 posts)Budi
(15,325 posts)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. 🙄

(61,033 posts)Seems her ambition got the best of her. Isn't she the strip poker accuser?
JohnSJ
(98,883 posts)mention that, and imply in some warped way a projection of Biden and Harris on this.
This is the person who ran against Jerry Nadler, who also called on Cuomo to resign

Cuomo's not the only one who knows she's lying.
AOC needs to distance herself from this liar.
Hope she's the 1st one to be investigated.
Gross.

The purpose is to target the most effective and powerful Democratic leaders and destroy them
Budi
(15,325 posts)..the obvious culprit in every salacious demoralization of every targeted Democrat, reappears every time.
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.
Dorian Gray
(13,850 posts)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.)
Azathoth
(4,677 posts)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.
Hortensis
(58,785 posts)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.

(1,364 posts)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.
torius
(1,652 posts)does not look good by issuing threats and trying to decide the fate of the accuser. She should stay out of it. I think the investigation would be so harmed by this that she just blew it big time.
