While Chris Cuomo has previously acknowledged advising his brother and his team on the response to the scandals, the records show that his role in helping the then-governor was much larger and more intimate than previously known.
Chris Cuomo was actively in touch with Melissa DeRosa, who was the then-governors top aide, about incoming media reports that detailed alleged sexual harassment by Andrew Cuomo, according to exhibits from the Attorney Generals probe and a transcript of his interview with the states investigators. He also lobbied to help the governors office as it sought to weather the storm of accusations, and he dictated statements for the then-governor to use.
Please let me help with the prep, Chris Cuomo said to DeRosa in one message in early March. Then, three days after the New York Times reported in March about how Andrew Cuomo attempted to kiss a woman, Anna Ruch, in an unwanted advance at a wedding, Chris Cuomo texted DeRosa: I have a lead on the wedding girl.
CNN issued a comment hours after the publication of this article, saying the news organization would be reviewing the documents.

CNN (and the rest of cable noise) is nothing more than drama TV designed to fill airtime.

(28,344 posts)Standing up for sleazy monsters that deride, intimidate and trash women in order to satisfy their sexist egos and base gratification - THAT is a losing proposition for our party.
