At least two women who accused Cuomo of misbehavior said he summoned them to help navigate his iPhon

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo exhibited a pattern of asking younger women on his staff to assist him with minor tech issues, according to a new report from the Albany Times Union published Monday.

Jessica Westerman, the attorney for former Cuomo staffer Charlotte Bennett, told the Times Union that the governor called the 25-year-old into his office to help him navigate between his iPhone's settings and Notes apps, which are normally clearly displayed on the device's home screen.

This came a day after Cuomo reportedly quizzed Bennett on her sex life, including whether she would be open to sleeping with an older man.

Cuomo's sixth accuser, a current staffer who is so far unnamed, was summoned to Cuomo's private residence for a similar issue with his Notes app, according to a person briefed on her complaint who spoke with the Times Union on the condition of anonymity.

1. I worked IT in a law office - one guy constantly had me come see why his computer was frozen

and he'd have a graphic porn pic on the screen every single time. I never batted an eyelash, mostly because I assumed that was his plan, to get a reaction, but seriously was a creep.

Turned out, other employees who'd known him for a very long time had been to his house and said he had a huge pornographic photo of his wife over the couch. Nice touch.

2. You never batted an eyelash?

Wasn't this against company policies? Why didn't you report this? Were you afraid if retaliation? Peer pressure?

There are many reasons why women and men don't report harassment right away. I didn't because I was embarrassed. I quit and when my boss asked me, I told him and he fired the guy and I got my job back.

4. Did the computer belong to your employer?

How is watching porn on company equipment okay?

I once worked with a guy who was fired for having porn on his work-provided computer and for watching porn during work hours. He was the meekest, mildest-looking guy. Never would have taken him for a porn freak based on looks alone.

[Jedi Guy]

34. Yeah, I know what you mean about the ones you'd never suspect.

When I worked as a dispatcher for a police department, one of the police service operators was caught with not just porn, but kiddie porn, on his work computer. We were all stunned, since he was the nicest, most normal-seeming guy, and he was married with two kids of his own. To this day I can't believe he was dumb enough to have done that.

[Betty88]

8. I get it

Worked in IT also.

[George II]

12. So you're assuming that Cuomo had a graphic pornographic picture on the screen of his phone....

....something that has NOT been reported? If not, why bring that up here?

We had an IT guy who spent a big chunk of his time explaining to employees PCs operated, and many of those were the same employees over and over again. If you saw him, they did NOT do it to hit on him!

[MisterNiceKitty]

35. +1 also PCs are monitored don't think your employer doesn't know everything your doing

Phones are also state property

[Budi]

3. Well if ever a reason to Impeach or Resign, gdammit THIS IS IT!

"..he summoned them to help navigate his iPhone"

What follows is purely hearsay & embellishment for impact.
Anyone can say anything & manipulated in a way that can never be proven nor disproven.

5. Exactly!! It's time to stop with the cuomo posts... PLEASE

NY’ers by an overwhelming margin say they do NOT want their governor to resign

President Biden has publicly stated let the investigation go forth and go from there

[George II]

11. What's curious is after that poll came out Saikat Chakrabarti chimed in...

Chakrabarti was one of the founders of Justice Democrats, and one of their first two members of the Board of Directors.

Cuomo was involved in "contentious" primary (that's putting it mildly) battles with Justice Democrats' Zephyr Teachout in 2014 and then Justice Democrats' Cynthia Nixon (she called him one of the more corrupt NYS Governors) in 2018.

Here is Chakrabarti's first comment on this, calling the results of the poll "trumpism of the left":

14. Wel well well.. wasn't this the guy that got told to leave the Dem House

Cuz he was sciffing info back & forth to his legislator?
He behaved as tho he was pulling the House strings behind the scenes. So he was TOLD, not asked, to leave.

What a devious shit. Another trust fund rich shit running a social media bs campaign against the party he claims to be part of.
Ya. We All See This One


And here he shows his face again, and Guess Who He's Hating On This Time?

Same as last time.
Gtfoutta here.

15. Wallstreet , Silicon valley whore whose latest get rich scheme is playing

socialist.

Going after one of the few Native Americans in the country for having any kind of access to economic opportunity that his (and my) community has.

Fucking fraud.

[Budi]

18. Yup he & a few of his co-partners . Multimillionare Cenk's crew

Wallstreet , Silicon valley whore whose latest get rich scheme is playing
socialist.


Every one of them have multiple fundraising PACS & all under the registration hidden from FEC & detatched from revealing how much goes to paying themselves.

Krystal Ball got caught doing this a few yrs ago. She paid herself over 1/3rd of the total raised thru her PAC.

Appears she used the wrong PAC registration.
She should have check with the trust funders 1st.

Millionares & Billionares, they said as they cashed in their campaign cash

[George II]

19. People should look into who the first accuser, Lindsey Boylan, is married to....

LeRoy Kim is a Managing Director/Merchant Banker at Allen & Company, who is in deep with "big tech" and all the corporate "boogymen", and affiliated with Bill Gates (a good guy), Warren Buffet, Rupert Murdoch, Michael Eisner, et. al.

If you think he's just one of thousands, Allen & Company has only 170 employees.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allen_%26_Company

Here's a bit about their clients:

Allen & Co. was one of ten underwriters for the Google initial public offering in 2004. In 2007, Allen was sole advisor to Activision in its $18 billion merger with Vivendi Games. In 2011, the New York Mets hired Allen & Co. to sell a minority stake of the team. That deal later fell apart. In November 2013, Allen & Co. was one of seven underwriters on the initial public offering of Twitter. Allen & Co. was the adviser of Facebook in its $19 billion acquisition of WhatsApp in February 2014.

In 2015, Allen & Co. was the advisor to Time Warner Cable in its $80 billion 2015 merger with Charter Communications, AOL in its acquisition by Verizon, Centene Corporation in its $6.8 billion acquisition of Health Net, and eBay in its separation from PayPal.

In 2016, Allen & Co was the lead advisor to Time Warner in its $108 billion acquisition by AT&T, LinkedIn for its merger talks with Microsoft, Walmart in its $3.3 billion purchase of Jet.com, and Verizon in its $4.8 billion acquisition of Yahoo!. In 2017, Allen & Co. was the advisor to Chewy.com in PetSmart’s $3.35 billion purchase of the online retailer.

25. Rolf..HaHa omg. NOT "Millionares & Billionares!!! NOT WALL STREET BANKERS!!

Not only did the Wall Streeters get a Speech, THEY ALL MET FOR A Fuzzy Friendly CA Retreat!! Sponsored by Lindsey's Wall Street Banker Hubby!

Well ain't this fking rich ~~

[George II]

27. And it's looking more and more like Justice Democrats are involved in this, too.

[Budi]

28. Look at who's backing who. You are not wrong on what you're seeing

Leeann Tweeden
Tara Reade

Not like they've changed their m.o. lately right?

I'm done believing any of them.

[Nixie]

32. It sure is looking that way.

Not surprising.

16. These are mostly black and Latinos that he compares to Trump Trash

33. Who needs to resign over this??

Let's see who has double standards.

[George II]

13. Not the type of incidents to get a Governor to resign or be impeached. A HUGE stretch!!

[h2ebits]

17. LOL, who else would we oldsters go to if we need help with our computers

I am old enough to have used Teletype machines. One of the first iterations from sending telegrams--no more dots and dashes to send messages, you typed messages and reports on a machine with a keyboard and sent them to the appropriate bodies in other locations.

And let's not forget mainframe computers with their keypunch cards--god help you if you dropped a stack on the way to feeding them into the machine--and green bar. Remember the phrase: "If it's on green bar, then it has to be right"

My youngest son was in high school when desktop computers came out running--OMG!--DOS. I called him from my job a number of times for help. Finally, Microsoft Windows arrived!!!

I refused to get a cell phone for many many years and, while I have one now, I predominantly use it as a cell phone and replacement for Magellan maps and directions via the Google Maps app. Very little else.

When I can't figure out how to do something that I want to do; I ALWAYS without fail ask a young person--generally the younger the better. It is their technology and quite reliably they patiently show me what to do in great detail.

I agree with you Budi. I think your comments regarding this new "sin" of Cuomo's are hilarious and true.

[Budi]

20. No shit. They may have had a good scam going at 1st, but really jumped the shark on the last ones

Someone needs to re-read The boy who cried wolf. Over & Over & Over.

Where's Roger anyway?

Now it's just beyond stupidly ridiculous.

[h2ebits]

21. The article struck me as funny. . . .

but your comments were hilarious. You have given me the best laugh I have had all day. A big Thank You!

[Budi]

22. No problem ..I mean, C'mon...this shit's sounding like its written by B class Soap Opera writers

I could write more convincing stories than these ppl.

These writers must be scraping the bottom by now for gotcha words to pump out another hit piece.

Is this from politico?..have to ask cuz...well.🙄

[JI7]

26. Remember that "I'm not a Cat" guy from a few weeks ago

he couldn't figure out how to remove the filter during the virtual legal hearing.

[ananda]

6. Does this sound like they are being coached?

???

[George II]

10. That was my first thought but was afraid I'd get bashed for it. This is SO coincidental.

[Steelrolled]

7. I hope to God that no-one leaks Cuomo's conversations with Siri

[Budi]

24. 😄 "Siri, play Gov Cuomo's favorite playlist" Oh they got him now!!!

Haaahaa

[George II]

9. Maybe the first one couldn't resolve the problem? And "normally" doesn't mean always. Icons...

...for apps can be accidentally rearranged or even deleted.

I can't see the impeachment or resignation of Governor Cuomo hinging on this "evidence".

[bucolic_frolic]

23. Waiting for it

"Many people are saying" this is a good way to pickup women ...

Gee, what a line. Does it work? I mean older bearded and unbearded guys are asking "Would it work for me?"

I hope you realize the of this post of mine.

[hamsterjill]

30. How old is Cuomo?

He’s older than me I believe. What person in that age bracket HASN’T asked a younger person for help navigating an iPhone?

When computers became commonplace in the 80’s, there were no classes or instruction - at least none I had privy to. It was learn as you go and sink or swim. Many younger people today have had classes in school giving them, at least, a basic knowledge of IT.

No excuse if he used that to harass women, but I’m still waiting for the investigation.

[Woodwizard]

31. Cuomo is an abrasive ass.

He has been his whole time in office, I voted for Zephr Teachout when she ran against him in the primaries. He may get stuff done but I believe the accusations. He loves power, his smear campaign against her was disgraceful.

BUT I do not want him to resign, it needs to to through the whole investigative process we do not need to set precedent of accusations removing politicians before solid evidence.

Alan Chartock on WAMC has interviewed him many times when times are good, but anytime heat is on the governor he disappears from interviews.

The hubris of writing a book about leadership on the pandemic is stunning.
