Hey, everybody, welcome back to the Bridget Boys podcast today on the show. I'm sitting down with Lindsay Boyland.

In December of 2020, Lindsay became the first woman to publicly accuse former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo of sexual harassment.

Her courage set off a political firestorm. It led to a statewide investigation, and it ultimately led to his resignation as governor.

But now, despite everything, just a couple years later, Cuomo has come crawling back.

Now he's running for mayor of New York City.

And Lindsay is sounding the alarm about what type of person he is and talking about the systems that enable men like this to continue pursuing power.

That means we go beyond Cuomo. We talk about

the Democratic establishment itself. We talk about people like Joe Biden, Bill and Hillary Clinton,

Kristen Gillibrand, Hakeem Jeffries, and so many more, and how they have navigated

allegations of misconduct within their own ranks. We're digging deep talking about things like

party loyalty,

for-profit media, and just name recognition of some of these guys and how that can leave

survivors sidelined in the pursuit of justice. Lindsay literally said that she felt like she was

a human shield for other people within the organization. This isn't just a partisan story.

This is not about left versus right.

This is about how institutions on both sides will go to great lengths to protect power,

even if it comes at the expense of vulnerable individuals within the organization.

And of course, this whole story is about Lindsay's courage as a whistleblower,

sharing her survivor's story and all of the

ways that that has impacted her for good and for bad. I had a fantastic time talking to Lindsay on

this episode, and I know you're going to enjoy listening to this conversation as well. So without further

ado, let's get into my conversation with Lindsay Boylan. All right, Lindsay, welcome to the show.
