No one is laughing at your ‘joke,’ Andy

Gov. Cuomo’s characterization of his alleged sexual harassment as him merely “being playful” and making “jokes” fell flat on Monday, with one of his accusers and Mayor de Blasio both slamming the “nonapology.”

Cuomo, 63, offered the defense on Sunday, a day after Charlotte Bennett became the second former staffer in a matter of days to accuse the governor of sexual harassment.

“As we know, abusers — particularly those with tremendous amounts of power — are often repeat offenders who engage in manipulative tactics to diminish allegations, blame victims, deny wrongdoing and escape consequences,” Bennett, 25, said in a statement on Monday.

“It took the governor 24 hours and significant backlash to allow for a truly independent investigation. These are not the actions of someone who simply feels misunderstood; they are the actions of an individual who wields his power to avoid justice.”

Bennett (inset top) told The New York Times in a piece published on Saturday that Cuomo last year made offcolor comments to her and asked probing questions about her sex life, leaving her convinced the divorced father of three “wanted to sleep with” her.

The allegation came three days after another former Cuomo staffer, Lindsey Boylan (inset bottom), 36, alleged that the governor kissed her on the lips without warning and suggested they pass time on a flight by playing strip poker.

Facing bipartisan outrage, Cuomo issued a statement on Sunday saying he made “jokes” that could have been misconstrued as “unwanted flirtation” but denying any untoward intent and maintaining that he never touched anyone inappropriately.

De Blasio jeered the response from his frequent political foe on Monday.

“The governor issued a total nonapology earlier and in effect treated sexual harassment as some kind of laughing matter,” the mayor told CNN’s Jake Tapper. “It’s not a joke. It’s very, very serious stuff.

“When I read the account of what Charlotte Bennett went through, I cringed. Here’s someone who can determine whether she had a job or not, whether she has a career or not, literally suggesting in front of her all sorts of perverse sexual possibilities, and she’s alone in a room with him. Think about how grotesque that is.”

Asked if Cuomo should resign if the claims are true, de Blasio said yes.

The Cuomo administration, meanwhile, gave state Attorney General Letitia James a green light on Monday to launch an independent probe.

“This is not a responsibility we take lightly, as allegations of sexual harassment should always be taken seriously,” James said.
