A woman who accused Andrew Cuomo of sexual harassment while he was governor seethed it is “absolutely disgusting” he’s running for NYC mayor, saying he’s “ill matched” to be the Big Apple’s savior.
“It’s absolutely disgusting that someone who’s an abuser, not simply of women, but of New Yorkers as a whole, would come out of his cave and think that he is the best person to help New York in crisis,” the unnamed accuser, who requested anonymity, told The Post.
“He has been found guilty of [creating] a toxic environment and sexually harassing women by state and federal investigations. He has been found to [have forced] nursing homes to accept COVID-positive patients that did not comply with the spirit of the CDC guidelines, and then lying about it.
“These things prove that he is not only corrupt, but also unable to lead, and exactly what we don’t need at this moment in time .
She expects him to continue his abusive ways if elected to City Hall.
“I would say that he has no self control, he has no respect for women, and so he’s going to invariably do all of the same abusive things that he’s always done,” she told the Post.

She pointed out that he continued to abuse his accusers — in court.
“He subpoenaed one of the his victims’ gynecological records. He abused these women legally in court who are suing him . . . The abuse has continued unabated. It’s just taken a legal form.”
Cuomo spokesman Rich Azzopardi said his longtime boss continues to adamantly deny committing sexual harassment.
“As we said from day one, the [governor] didn’t harass anyone – and years later, the facts have borne that out,” he said. “New Yorkers aren’t naive and understand that ugly political situation for exactly what it was. Today, New York City is in crisis – a crisis of affordability, public safety and leadership, and that what Gov. Cuomo is focused on: The fight to save our city.”
