Andrew Cuomo, have come forward with new allegations of sexual misconduct.<\/p>\n<p class=\"speakable\">Karen Hinton, who worked for Cuomo as a press aide,\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/cuomo-toxic-workplace\/2021\/03\/06\/7f7c5b9c-7dd3-11eb-b3d1-9e5aa3d5220c_story.html\">told<\/a> The Washington Post that the governor called her to his \u201cdimly lit\u201d hotel room and hugged her twice following a work function in 2000. She said she pulled away from Cuomo, but he pulled her back toward his body and held onto her.<\/p>\n<p>Hinton called the embrace \u201cvery long, too long, too tight, too intimate.\u201d The married Hinton pulled away, but \u201che pulls me back for another intimate embrace,\u201d she told the paper. \u201cI thought at that moment it could lead to a kiss, it could lead to other things, so I just pull away again, and I leave.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cuomo at the time led the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.<\/p>\n<p>Peter Ajemian, Cuomo\u2019s director of communications, addressed Hinton\u2019s allegations in a statement to the Post.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis did not happen,\u201d he said. \u201cKaren Hinton is a known antagonist of the Governor\u2019s who is attempting to take advantage of this moment to score cheap points with made up allegations from 21 years ago. All women have the right to come forward and tell their story \u2014 however, it\u2019s also the responsibility of the press to consider self-motivation. This is reckless.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But The New York Post <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2021\/03\/06\/two-more-women-accuse-gov-andrew-cuomo-of-inappropriate-behavior\/\">notes<\/a> that Hinton\u2019s husband is lobbyist Howard Glaser, \u201ca longtime Cuomo ally and confidante who worked as his director of state operations and senior policy advisor until 2014.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Anna Liss, who worked for Cuomo as a policy and operations aide from 2013 to 2015,\u00a0 said the governor once asked her if she had a boyfriend, then touched her lower back and kissed her hand. Liss said at first she thought his actions were harmless flirtations, but she said she came to believe that they \u201cdiminished her from an educated professional to \u2018just a skirt,&#8217;\u201d Fox News reported.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not appropriate, really, in any setting,\u201d she said.\u00a0The governor called her \u201csweetheart\u201d and asked if she had a boyfriend,\u00a0Liss <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/third-former-andrew-cuomo-aide-describes-inappropriate-workplace-treatment-11615081956?mod=hp_lead_pos2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">told<\/a> recalled to the Wall Street Journal.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, a third woman accused Cuomo of sexual harassment.\u00a0Anna Ruch, a former Biden 2020 campaign worker, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/03\/01\/nyregion\/cuomo-harassment-anna-ruch.html\">told<\/a> The New York Times that the governor made unwanted sexual advances toward her after they met at a wedding in New York City in 2019. She also accused Cuomo, 63, of kissing her without her permission, even as she tried to pull away. Ruch said the encounter left her \u201cconfused and shocked and embarrassed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another accuser, Charlotte Bennett, a former Cuomo aide, alleges that the governor inquired about her sex life and asked her if she would be amenable to having a relationship with an older man. And another former aide, Lindsey Boylan, said Cuomo \u201cmade inappropriate comments about her appearance, kissed her without her consent at the end of a meeting and once suggested they play strip poker while aboard his state-owned jet,\u201d The Associated Press <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/andrew-cuomo-accused-sexual-harassment-daf35ae2ab9d3b0739c5fd4b802b9e44\">reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Boylan took to social media to voice support for Hinton and Liss in separate tweets.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThank you Karen Hinton for courageously sharing your story of how our boss, one of the most powerful men in the country, used his power to abuse you. I am sending you love. I am with you. We are with you,\u201d\u00a0she <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LindseyBoylan\/status\/1368393068270018562\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">wrote<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>She <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=ana%20liss&#038;src=typed_query\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">called<\/a> Liss \u201cbrave,\u201d adding, \u201cIt\u2019s extremely destructive that our boss, the governor of New York, treated us this way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
