William O’Shaughnessy, the owner of a Westchester County radio station who was dubbed Westchester s Radio Renaissance Man some years back, has penned one of few written defenses of Gov. Andrew Cuomo and sent it off to the leaders in Washington. Seven women have now accused Cuomo of sexual harassment and lawmakers have called on him to resign.
In his letter, O’Shaughnessy suggests that the attacks on Gov. Cuomo can be explained by his opponents lingering frustration over his late father Mario Cuomo s own leadership as governor. There is no question that many/most of the attacks on Andrew are motivated by the ambition and jealousy of his enemies, many of whom never forgave Mario for his views on abortion and capital Punishment, he alleges.

Last month, as specific sexual harassment allegations began to be leveled against Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a longtime supporter of his family sent out an essay entitled, Our Extraordinary Governor.
The brief essay by William O Shaughnessy, the owner of a local radio station in Westchester County, heaped lavish praise on the governor, noting he purchased 200 copies of Cuomo s book about the pandemic. I never said he is perfect, he wrote. I am drawn to his defense and cause not alone because he is the son of Matlida Raffa Cuomo and Mario Matthew Cuomo. But I do believe it s in the genes. The genes that make him so extaordinary. We might remember that as they pile on a governor who works so damn hard in our service.
