[MSN] Pandemic ’Hero’ Andrew Cuomo Finally Resigns in Disgrace

In one of the most dramatic political downfalls in recent memory, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced Tuesday that he is resigning his office amid a welter of allegations of sexual harassment and misconduct.

The decision came a little more than a year after Cuomo emerged as the face of supposedly rational Democratic decision-making amid ex-President Donald Trump's bungling response to the COVID-19 pandemic‐and just one week after State Attorney General Letitia James released a devastating report that found the governor had subjected 11 women to unwanted comments and touching.
Update from The Daily Beast at 1:30 p.m. ET:
“I think that, given the circumstances, the best way I can help now is if I step aside and let government get back to governing, and therefore, that’s what I’ll do,” Cuomo said Tuesday, adding that his resignation will be effective in 14 days.

#11 And so, of course, the nursing home murders, which is what the Democrats really feared, why they were willing to throw him under the bus, will be forgotten.

I mean, c'mon, man. Did he do anything worse that Joe?

#20 And so, of course, the nursing home murders, which is what the Democrats really feared, why they were willing to throw him under the bus, will be forgotten.

It is a possibility, although remote, that the media 'might' now look into this, seeing as how he can no longer .

#23 Wait. Isn't murdering 10,000 nursing home folk a capital crime?

Our MN reserves military deserter (literally) Gov Walz did the same, thousands dead in our Minnesota nursing homes. NONE of the local or national news covers that prick's crimes.

#28 I had somebody called 'Handy Andy' put his hand on my leg when I was 14 years old (he was gay and thought I was into it); that was the only time I puled a knife on anybody.
