New York Governor Andrew Cuomo was reportedly advised by his brother, CNN anchor Chris Cuomo, on how to respond to the growing number of sexual harassment allegations that began appearing earlier this year, four people familiar with the discussions told the Washington Post.
The younger Cuomo brother reportedly joined Gov. Cuomo’s top aide, his communications team, lawyers and a number of outside advisers in a series of conference calls made earlier this year to discuss claims from women that Gov. Cuomo had inappropriately touched or made comments to women without their permission.
The people, who spoke on conditions of anonymity, said that Cuomo had advised his brother not to resign. Two of those people present on one call said that Cuomo had used the term “cancel culture” as a “res as on to hold firm in the face of the allegations,” the Washington Post writes.
One professor at the Columbia Journalism School and a New Yorker staff writer Nicholas Lehman pointed out the conflict of interests, saying that “If you are actively advising a politician in trouble while being an on-air host on a news network, that’s not okay.”
