In reply to the discussion: I don't like Andrew Cuomo... [View all]Claustrum
(4,846 posts)22. Can it be both though?
It can very well be a political smear but at the same time, making kissing jokes and trying to kiss random women is problematic for a public figure.
At the end of the day, I want more context as I have no idea what the relationship is between Cuomo and the woman. If they are close, that interaction is fine. But if they met for the first time, then I think it's problematic.
