The Democrats gave us a lot of soundbites on Thursday! First, we had Jen Psaki gushing over critical race theory.
Now let me show you Gov. Andrew Cuomo mansplain the definition of harassment to us ladies.
How many women have accused Cuomo of sexual harassment? I lost count.
City & State reporter Rebecca Lewis asked Cuomo, “Do you acknowledge that your intentions, according to the law, don’t matter in sexual harassment?”
Lewis referred to the sexual harassment legislation Cuomo signed in 2019. It states: “Lowers the high bar set for employees to hold employers accountable for sexual harassment by amending under the New York Human Rights Law to make clear that conduct need not be ‘severe or pervasive’ to constitute actionable conduct.”
In other words, if the woman feels harassed, then she was harassed. Intention does not matter. The definition includes “conduct that rises above ‘petty slights or trivial inconveniences.'”
But we all know Cuomo is above the law and everyone else. Nothing applies to him:
CUOMO: “I never said anything that I believed was inappropriate. I never meant to make you feel that way. You may hear it that way, you may interpret it that way. And I respect that, and I apologize to you if I said something you think is offensive.”REPORTER: “The harasser’s intention doesn’t matter. You can apologize if you make someone feel uncomfortable. I’m just wondering — do you acknowledge that, according to the law, that doesn’t matter and would still be considered —”CUOMO: “Harassment is not making someone feel uncomfortable. That is not harassment. If I just made you feel uncomfortable, that is not harassment. That’s you feeling uncomfortable.”
What a way to victim-blame, dude.
The Sexual Harassment Working Group, which consists of former New York state legislators, lashed out at Cuomo.
