This is the best summary I could come up with:
Andrew Cuomo, the former Democratic governor of New York, blamed cancel culture for the media and political frenzy that erupted following allegations of sexual harassment.
Cuomo appeared alongside Melissa DeRosa, his former chief of staff and author of What’s Left Unsaid: My Life at the Center of Power, Politics and Crisis, on Friday’s episode of Real Time with Bill Maher.
During their conversation, the host brought up the investigation into allegations against the former governor, which he has denied, that forced him to resign in 2021.
(tldr: 1 sentences skipped)
But he did go on to lecture Cuomo for not understanding that “the kids don’t want to be touched,” adding, “I mean, private, personal space is just different to different generations.”
Cuomo emphasized that he “got the memo,” but that “it can be carried to an absurd extent” due to the media and politics escalating it, specifically calling out The New York Times.
(tldr: 2 sentences skipped)
The former governor proceeded to explain what he found to be the most “chilling” was “the cancel culture on steroids at the highest level, with the justice department.” He claimed that people were running with the headlines without reading the actual investigation report.
(tldr: 9 sentences skipped)
