The downward spiral of King Cuomo continues and the latest accusations have taken things to another level.
This latest accusation makes 8 people, but now you can add a CURRENT aide to the list.
Alyssa McGrath commented that Cuomo gawked at her, made inappropriate remarks about her appearance, and created an uncomfortable work environment.
And Cuomo continues to deny all allegations.
Is this #8 9 or 10? I can’t keep track anymore.

Do people understand how brave this woman is? She still works there. She still has to work there. She still has to work for this man.

I gotta say that I am just floored by the bravery of Alyssa McGrath, who still works for Andrew Cuomo, and told the New York Times about his treatment of her: https://t.co/5DUko8fRcC

One of Cuomo’s previous accusers relayed additional disturbing accusations against New York’s king.
And quite frankly, they’re just plain bizarre:

King Cuomo is a strange man and it’s shocking the NY State Assembly still hasn’t impeached him.
These shenanigans are creeping New York to becoming the most laughable state in America.
But it’s awfully hard to dethrone California from that title.
The public is growing tired of King Cuomo and pressure is mounting for his removal:
NEW YORK POLL: A majority of likely NY voters say it's time for Governor Cuomo to resign.
By a +18 point margin, our latest poll finds voters support Cuomo's resignation (59-41) following allegations of sexual harassment and other misconduct. https://t.co/2gDplUK0FY

Those numbers are bound to get worse at this rate.
Breitbart reported on the Cuomo Saga:
An aide to New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo publicly accused the prominent Democrat of sexual harassment Friday — the first allegation brought forth by a current staff member — plunging the embattled governor further into scandal sparked by multiple harassment allegations and his handling of data regarding deaths in nursing homes during the coronavirus pandemic.
He called her and her co-worker “mingle mamas.” He inquired about her lack of a wedding ring, she said, and the status of her divorce. She recalled him telling her she was beautiful — in Italian — and, as she sat alone with him in his office awaiting dictation, he gazed down her shirt and commented on a necklace hanging there. In the latest allegation against Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, Alyssa McGrath, an employee of the governor’s office, described a series of unsettling interactions with the governor, telling The New York Times that Mr. Cuomo would ogle her body, remark on her looks, and make suggestive comments to her and another executive aide. […] Over the last three years, Ms. McGrath said, the governor had seemingly fostered an unusual work triangle with her and her friend, the co-worker he allegedly groped, blending a professional relationship with unwanted attention. There was paternalistic patter, but also a commandeering, sometimes invasive physicality.
In an interview with the Times, McGrath said Cuomo’s cozy conduct toward her often made her feel uncomfortable and bewildered.
“He has a way of making you feel very comfortable around him, almost like you’re his friend,” she told the newspaper. “But then you walk away from the encounter or conversation, in your head going, ‘I can’t believe I just had that interaction with the governor of New York.’”
McGrath’s lawyer, Mariann Wang, said of Cuomo, “this would be unacceptable behavior from any boss, much less the governor,” continuing, “The women in the executive chamber are there to work for the State of New York, not serve as his eye candy or prospective girlfriend.”
To date, eight women have accused Cuomo of harassment and unwanted touching — all allegations that the governor vehemently denies.
“[T]he governor has greeted men and women with hugs and a kiss on the cheek, forehead, or hand. Yes, he has posed for photographs with his arm around them. Yes, he uses Italian phrases like ‘ciao bella,’” Cuomo lawyer Rita Glavin said in response to McGrath’s claims. “None of this is remarkable, although it may be old-fashioned. He has made clear that he has never made inappropriate advances or inappropriately touched anyone.”
Despite Cuomo’s denials, the governor faces sustained calls to resign, which have been made by top Democrats such as Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA).
“Due to the multiple, credible sexual harassment and misconduct allegations, it is clear that Governor Cuomo has lost the confidence of his governing partners and the people of New York,” Schumer and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) recently said in a joint statement. “Governor Cuomo should resign.”
