Episode 163: Cuomo's Behavior Is Eerily Familiar for Church Abuse Survivors

New York's Office of the Attorney General released a damning report yesterday chronicling Governor Andrew Cuomo's creepy, predatory behavior with 11 victims who came forward. The report uncovers a "culture within the Executive Chamber" of cover-ups, fear, demanded loyalty to the governor, and retaliation against those who spoke up. In an act of defiance, Governor Cuomo released a 14 minute video denying any wrongdoing and belittling victims who spoke out about the abuse. In this episode, we talk about the similarities within church and advocacy cultures, where survivors are bullied and threatened into silence.
