The Human Rights Campaign has ousted Alphonso David as its president, saying it fired him for cause in the wake of a report that found he helped former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo respond to sexual misconduct allegations.
David's exit is contentious, with both sides accusing the other of spreading falsehoods.
"Expect a legal challenge," David, who has denied any sent late Monday night. He accused the LGBTQ+ civil rights organization of "bullying and a cloak and dagger process" and said he was never shown a copy of an independent probe into his actions regarding Cuomo.
