'I Am Not the Only Woman:' Former Aide Accuses Gov. Cuomo of Sexual Harassment

Last week, we told you about a former aide to New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo accusing him of create the most 'toxic' work environment she's ever experienced in her career.  The woman -- a progressive Democrat named Lindsey Boylan -- said many other Cuomo alums have privately confided that they've seen the same thing, but people are terrified to speak out against the powerful and vindictive leader.

Over the weekend, Boylan published another Twitter thread, which appeared to be building toward an accusation.  She opened by describing an experience her mother had years ago: "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."  Next came these follow-ups:

She was so excited to be taken “seriously.” Her bossed isolated her and kissed her. She never had that type of job again.

Then came the allegation:
 

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.
