New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo sparred with a female reporter Wednesday after the journalist asked what his administration was doing to confront sexual harassment in state government.
Public radio reporter Karen DeWitt asked Cuomo whether he was considering new policies in light of the national attention on sexual misconduct, as well as the recent resignation of Sam Hoyt, a state economic development official who was under investigation for harassment.
“You did have [harassment] going on within your own administration allegedly, with Sam Hoyt. What could you do differently to kind of pick up on that?” DeWitt asked Cuomo, according to The Washington Free Beacon.
“You have it going on in journalism,” Cuomo answered. “What are you going to do differently?”
“I think you missed the point,” Cuomo told DeWitt later in the exchange. “When you say `it’s state government’ you do a disservice to women, with all due respect, even though you’re a woman.”
