Over one-third of endorsers once condemned Cuomo, prompting outrage from activists like Erica Vladimer, who view the endorsements as a betrayal. The shift in stance has raised concerns about accountability and integrity, particularly regarding female politicians who supported Cuomo after previously demanding his exit from the governor's office, complicating the narrative of the Me Too Movement.
