New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s (D) aides reportedly tried to do some damage control after his first accuser came forward with accusations.

According to several former employees, Cuomo’s office attempted to call at least six of them in an attempt to discredit the first accuser Lindsey Boylan or to get additional information about her allegations. Some of the ex-staffers believe the calls were meant to intimidate them. The outreach was reportedly coordinated by Melissa DeRosa, the governor’s top aide.

In a phone briefing on Friday, Cuomo doubled down on his refusal to resign after reports of a seventh accuser came forwardand cited cancel culture as what’s motivating the calls against him.


“People know the difference between playing politics, bowing to cancel culture, and the truth,” Cuomo claimed. “Let the review proceed. I’m not going to resign, I was not elected by the politicians. I was elected by the people. Part of this is that I am not part of the political club. And you know what? I’m proud of it.”

Cuomo then pivoted to worrying about the Empire State’s budget in the aftermath of the pandemic instead of addressing the nursing home death cover up, which happened under his watch.
