Our partners at The Advocate are reporting that The Human Rights Campaign has fired Alphonso David, who had been the organization’s president since 2019 and was being widely criticized for helping former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo respond to sexual harassment accusations. David released a statement Sunday night saying he had been asked to resign even though an investigation of the Cuomo matter found no wrongdoing on his part. The chairs disputed this in an email leaked to the media Monday morning, and David responded with another statement defending his position. He has now responded to his firing by saying, "Expect a legal challenge." Cox and Patterson said his Sunday night statement contained “significant untruths” and that the Sidley Austin investigation found that his work for Cuomo violated HRC’s policy on conflict of interest. Sources told The New York Times the decision to fire David was unanimous, except for two abstentions from members of the foundation board.
