A video showing Gov. Andrew Cuomo challenging a female journalist to “eat the whole sausage” in front of him at the 2016 New York State Fair has resurfaced on social media — amid allegations the governor sexually harassed former staffers.
“I want to see you eat the whole sausage,” the Democratic governor is heard telling then-NewsChannel 9 reporter Beth Cefalu, as his daughter Michaela sits quietly next to him, according to the video shared by journalist Matt Binder.
“I don’t know if I should eat the whole sausage in front of you, but I’m definitely going to eat it,” responds Cefalu, now a reporter and anchor at News 12 Westchester.
Cuomo then invites Cefalu — who snaps a selfie with him while holding up her plate — to sit at his table.
“There’s too much sausage in that picture,” Cuomo says in the cringeworthy exchange, prompting laughter from other diners.
A third said: “When creepy met cringe.”
However, not everyone thought the governor was out of line — arguing that the clip didn’t cut the mustard as evidence of harassment.
“How could you possibly read into that when Andrew Cuomo is introducing his daughter Michaela Cuomo there?” one user asked.

In case it hasn’t been properly transmitted, I have never been a profoundly socially-conscious person. In addition, I like a raunchy joke as much as anyone. However, it’s been probably 25 years ago when I learned (was instructed through company seminars and instruction) what was proper and improper in the work place. Always enjoying a snide, sarcastic or off-color remark, it took quite a bit of self control to comply with the new “don’t hurt anyone’s feelings or make them feel uncomfortable” rules, which were also easily weaponized.
Yet I did it. If I could do it, someone like Cuomo could. But, of course, I didn’t have near ultimate power over people, so I had rules to follow. Cuomo, like Clinton, like Ted Kennedy, like Biden, doesn’t have to bother with stuff like rules.
Just another golden idol the left that turned out to be nothing but compacted manure.
@Deplorable Me: Can you tell me what eat the whole sausage would refer to ,coming from a murderous scummy pig?
@kitt: Yeah, I can. Sounds exactly like a joke I would want to make but have the good sense not to.
@Deplorable Me: The kind that would have you wearing the nasty sourkraut they topped on the mystery sausage?
@kitt: No doubt Cuomo wants to refer to Italian sausage. Now a third woman has come forth.

Oh that’s good
ALBANY, NY—New York Governor Andrew Cuomo apologized this weekend for his long-standing habit of sexually abusing young women he holds power over. And while that all sounds quite bad, Governor Cuomo did make it clear to the public that he always wore a mask and socially distanced during these interactions– a fact that has some folks saying he should get off free.
“I have the greatest respect for my employees,” Cuomo explained during a press conference. “Especially the girls—we’ve got a lot of young girls on staff who do a really good job.” Cuomo paused for a moment and seemed to wink at someone offscreen. “And I can guarantee you right now, sure I might be a sexual predator, but not once did I remove my mask, never once broke the six-foot rule during conversations with my girls– at least in 2020. Isn’t that right, Kelly?”
Cuomo went on to explain how some of his sexual jokes may not have landed with the women since they couldn’t see his facial expressions. He also claimed that the women may have misheard him since his words were muffled by his mask and they were standing so far apart.
“Do I regret making those comments?” Cuomo asked as he stood up to leave the press conference. “No. Now if you’ll excuse me I’ve got some strip poker, er– I mean poker, to play.”
love the bee

deep throating-porn style
@MOS#8541: So talking dirty to ladies is worser than kiling grandmas, Democrats are such funny creatures.
@kitt: Well, Democrats are pretty comfortable with killing people they find to be an inconvenience. Political embarrassment of sexually assaulting women (when it can’t be covered up) can be troublesome.
@kitt:
