Time’s Up, the organization founded after the advent of the #MeToo movement designed to help sexual misconduct accusers bring their cases forward, is facing a crisis caused by the actions of its founders and leaders. Those in charge of the organization have seemingly used it to protect politicians they support, rather than putting female accusers first.

The New York Times reported on the ongoing turmoil at the organization, highlighted most recently by revelations that two of its founders advised former Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) on an unpublished op-ed smearing his most prominent accuser. Roberta Kaplan and Tina Tchen, as The Daily Wire previously reported, was named in New York State Attorney General Letitia James’ report into the sexual misconduct allegations against Cuomo as having advised the governor to remove some parts of the op-ed but otherwise okayed its publication.
