        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="speakable">New York City&nbsp;politico Lindsey Boylan alleged on Twitter Sunday&nbsp;that&nbsp;New York Gov.&nbsp;Andrew Cuomo&nbsp;"sexually harassed me for years."</p>
<p class="speakable">Boylan, who describes herself as a progressive on her Twitter account,&nbsp;worked for the governor's administration from 2015 to 2018, according to her&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/lindsey-boylan-3477bb3/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LinkedIn</a>&nbsp;profile.</p>
<p>She worked for Empire State Development, the state's&nbsp;economic&nbsp;development&nbsp;public-benefit organization, until March 2018, when she became deputy secretary for economic development and special adviser to Cuomo.</p>
<p>"Yes, @NYGovCuomo sexually harassed me for years," Boylan wrote. "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."</p>
<p>"Not knowing what to expect what&rsquo;s the most upsetting part aside from knowing that no one would do a damn thing even when they saw it," Boylan continued. "No one. And I *know* I am not the only woman."</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
<p dir="ltr" lang="en">It was then how I learned how hard it is for women. How hard this world can be for us when we are trying to be taken seriously and help our community. How easily jerks can destroy the lives of women.</p>

</p>
<p>Boylan did not provide details of any alleged incidents&nbsp;or name witnesses, and she has not responded to an inquiry from Fox News. She accused the governor's office of being a <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/andrew-cuomo-office-toxic-former-special-adviser" target="_blank" rel="noopener">"toxic" work environment</a> earlier in December.</p>
<p>Cuomo's office told Fox News that there was no truth to the claims.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Boylan is one of many Democrats running for Manhattan borough president in 2021. She also ran against Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., in New York's 10th Congressional District this year but lost by more than 40 points, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://ballotpedia.org/Lindsey_Boylan" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ballotpedia</a>.</p>
<p>"To be clear: I have no interest in talking to journalists," Boylan wrote on <a href="https://twitter.com/LindseyBoylan/status/1338136790817976321" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Twitter</a> on Sunday. "I am about validating the experience of countless women and making sure abuse stops. My worst fear is that this continues."</p>

And as <a href="https://twitter.com/FKAtwigs?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@FKAtwigs</a> said yesterday, my second worst fear is having to talk about and relive this.</p>
