A creepy video of New York’s Governor Cuomo has resurfaced showing him pressuring a female reporter into eating an entire sausage.
The video is reportedly from the 2016 New York State Fair, where Gov. Andrew Cuomo challenges another female journalist to complete her entire sausage in front of him. Now, the video is resurfacing on social media as Cuomo’s sexual harassment allegations take center stage.
Only recently, the governor apologized to anyone he may have hurt or offended with his ‘workplace jokes’, claiming that it was all done in the fun as he is a ‘funny guy.
’ In the same way, as the sexual allegations case picks up pace, more and more former aides are coming forward with their stories on how they faced similar incidents of harassment from Cuomo.
In the video, viewers see the Democratic Governor telling the reporter from News Channel 9, “I want to see you eat the whole sausage.” During the video, the camera catches the expressions of the reporter Beth Cefalu as well as Cuomo’s own daughter who sits quietly during the awkward encounter.
The video which is now making viral rounds was shared by a fellow journalist by the name of Matt Binder.
In response to the governor’s abrupt message, Beth exclaims, “I don’t know if I should eat the whole sausage in front of you, but I’m definitely going to eat it,” she responds. Today, Beth works as a reporter as well as a news anchor for News 12 Westchester.
Soon, Cuomo invites Cefalu to sit at his table, who even snapped a selfie with him while holding her plate. But the cringe-worthy exchange doesn’t end there. Cuomo continues the bizarre conversation with, “There is too much sausage in that picture,” which causes other fellow diners nearby to begin laughing.
In light of the governor’s recent sexual harassment allegations, internet users were quick to slam Cuomo for his rather ‘creepy’ as well as ‘cringy’ behavior.
