Lindsey Boylan is a former aide to New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo. A Democrat and progressive liberal, Boylan has come out with serious allegations against him, accusing him of sexually harassing her for years.
The accusation alone is enough to create a media firestorm when it is a Republican. Will the Senior Citizen Killer Cuomo also get the full press treatment? Mark Levin asked that very question on Parler, and he brings up two examples of how the media ignores it when it’s one of their own (a Democrat.)
Will the rest of the media ignore this allegation against Cuomo as they ignored Biden and Tara Reade, or Swalwell and Fang Fang? Inquiring minds want to know.

The accusations were leveled at Cuomo in a Twitter thread.
My first experience of workplace sexual harassment was when my mom got her first real office job after graduating from college when I was in high school.
She was so excited to be taken “seriously.” Her bossed isolated her and kissed her. She never had that type of job again.

It was then how I learned how hard it is for women. How hard this world can be for us when we are trying to be taken seriously and help our community. How easily jerks can destroy the lives of women.

And I promised myself I would never let those kind of guys win. I would work hard my whole life to put myself in positions of power to change things. To end the violence & corruption. Give voice to the voiceless.
I am not stopping. I refuse. I will never give up.

Yes, @NYGovCuomo sexually harassed me for years. Many saw it, and watched.
I could never anticipate what to expect: would I be grilled on my work (which was very good) or harassed about my looks. Or would it be both in the same conversation? This was the way for years.

Not knowing what to expect what’s the most upsetting part aside from knowing that no one would do a damn thing even when they saw it.
No one.
And I *know* I am not the only woman.

I’m angry to be put in this situation at all. That because I am a woman, I can work hard my whole life to better myself and help others and yet still fall victim as countless women over generations have. Mostly silently.
I hate that some men, like @NYGovCuomo abuse their power.

A powerful thread. She followed up with a comment about speaking to journalists.
To be clear: I have no interest in talking to journalists.
I am about validating the experience of countless women and making sure abuse stops.
My worst fear is that this continues. And as @FKAtwigs said yesterday, my second worst fear is having to talk about and relive this.

Even some liberals have had the courage to support her accusation, though it be against a Democrat favored son.
I believe @LindseyBoylan.
She is not the first woman to tell me that she was sexually harassed by @NYGovCuomo. She's simply the first brave enough to speak publicly about it. https://t.co/CCV8o0AUvX

But Levin’s question stands. We’ll see how CNN’s Fat, Dumb, and Bald Guy handles it. We’ll see how Rageyanna Keilar handles it. We’ll see.
