I am publicly calling for an independent investigation into the serious allegations of pervasive workplace sexual harassment & verbal abuse by Governor Andrew Cuomo. The people of New York deserve a Governor who lives up to his own public statements on sexual harassment.👇THREAD
“The brave women who chose to come forward deserve swift and definitive justice in this matter.” - Cuomo (1/5)
“There can be no suggestion of any possibility of the reality or appearance of any conflict or anything less than a full, complete, and unbiased investigation.” - Cuomo (2/5)
“I have tremendous accolades for the women who came forward. That is the essence of the #MeToo moment and the #MeToo movement.” - Cuomo (3/5)
“Change comes when people demand change, and change comes when the problem is revealed and exposed. That is always Step 1, and what you’re seeing now is women standing up all across the country and saying this nation has a chronic, disturbing, and disgusting behavior...
“...of sexual harassment against women, and it’s gone on for a long, long time and it has to stop.” - Cuomo (4/5)
“News of the alleged improprieties are grossly disturbing and must be fully investigated.” - Cuomo (5/5)

Governor Cuomo continues to point fingers at the federal government.
But here are the FACTS regarding CDC guidance:
The Governor’s decisions to MANDATE that nursing homes accept COVID-19 patients completely disregards the case-by-case approach recommended by CDC.
CDC guidance was clear that decisions about discharging COVID-19 patients should be based on the ability of the accepting facility to meet the recommended infection control practices. This includes the ability to place residents in a designated COVID-19 care unit that is equipped
with the resources and PPE to safely prevent the spread of infections. Additionally, CDC guidance states that if nursing homes are unable to follow CDC guidance for COVID-19 patients under Transmission-Based Precautions, they must wait until these patients are no longer
THREAD: Today’s @poststar column by @kentingley ends with a dangerous allusion to gun violence and has no place on the pages of a serious community newspaper. This news editor is well aware of the impact of his words, and is completely unacceptable.
I unequivocally condemned violence of any kind, specifically violence against the press, at a public community event in Hudson Falls. The @poststar editor @KenTingley was in attendance but refused to publish my answer. WATCH 👇
Instead, he describes a typical campaign fundraising appeal describing Far-Left Democrat attacks on @realDonaldtrump supporters to “I wasn’t sure if she would be buying campaign ads or bullets.” @kentingley’s call to gun violence is shameful, untrue, outrageous, and dangerous.
Apparently the @gop@nrcc#EPAC success recruiting a historic number of women candidates for 2020 is triggering today’s @nytopinion page meltdown fueled by the #Resistance vortex. The NYT wishful thinking conveniently ignores the facts: (THREAD - this might be a long one)...
✔️Historic number of GOP women have filed to run for Congress in 2020 - 181 - more than ever before.
✔️Majority of @NRCC Young Guns (top tier candidates) are women. That’s never even been close before. Huge win for the cycle.
✔️GOP Women candidates are raising historic amounts of💰for their campaigns - in some cases outraising embattled Democrat incumbents. And outpolling them too.
