Cuomo accuser criticizes NY lawmaker’s claim of 200 ethnic backgrounds.

Aide Compares Assemblywoman’s Social Media‌ Post to ⁤Cuomo’s Controversial Statement

A former aide of former New​ York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has drawn a comparison between a ⁤controversial social ‍media post from a state assemblywoman and a controversial statement made by Cuomo himself. According to ‌the aide,⁢ they both took away “different‍ lessons” from their time‍ working for Cuomo.

Assemblywoman’s Bold Statement on Social Media

New York Democratic⁤ lawmaker Jenifer⁣ Rajkumar recently made a ‍bold statement on the social media platform X (formerly known ⁢as Twitter). She claimed to embody all 200​ distinct ethnic origins that make up the ⁢diverse population of New York City.

“NYC is home​ to people from over 200 distinct ethnic origins. And I am ‍ ALL of them,” Rajkumar, who represents Queens, replied.

Aide ‌Draws Parallels to Cuomo’s Controversial Remarks

Lindsey Boylan,⁤ a former aide who accused Cuomo of sexual harassment in 2018, pointed out the resemblance between Rajkumar’s post and a controversial statement made by the former governor at a press conference in ‌2017.

“We both ‌worked for Andrew Cuomo. I’ve known for some time that we took away entirely different ⁣lessons,” Boylan posted alongside an image of⁣ Cuomo’s archived speech. “This barely scratches the surface.”

Question from Reporter Sparks Assemblywoman’s Response

Rajkumar’s post was in response to a⁤ question from a local reporter, who asked whether she was an ​”honorary” member of every nationality in the city due to her frequent ‌visits to the mayor’s mansion. ​This question arose after New‌ York City’s Democratic mayor, Eric Adams, referred to Rajkumar as an “honorary Dominican.”

Rajkumar’s Background and Political Roles

Rajkumar, who was chosen by ​Cuomo to serve as his director of immigration affairs⁢ and special counsel for the New York Department of State​ in 2017, was⁢ elected to the State Assembly in 2020. She was also selected by Mayor Adams⁢ to be part of his transition team when he assumed office in 2021.
