VP Harris speaks to UN about empowering women despite ignoring Cuomo accusers

Vice President Kamala Harris spoke to a United Nations commission about the need to empower women around the globe — saying democracy “depends fundamentally on the empowerment of women” — while she still hasn’t mentioned a word about the mounting accusations of sexual harassment against Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

“The status of democracy also depends fundamentally on the empowerment of women, not only because the exclusion of women in decision making is a marker of a flawed democracy, but ​because the participation of women strengthens democracy,” she said in taped remarks to the UN Commission on the Status of Women​ on Tuesday.​
