Human Rights Campaign President Fired in Latest Fallout from Cuomo Sexual Harassment Probe
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The president of Human Rights Campaign, Alphonso David, has been fired
for advising former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo on how to handle the
sexual harassment allegations he faced before his resignation last
month. Alphonso David was the first Black president of HRC, the
country's largest LGBTQ organization. He previously worked as a legal
adviser in Cuomo's office, where he was part of an effort to discredit
accuser Lindsey Boylan, according to the damning report issued by New
York Attorney General Letitia James.
