Cuomo refuses to resign, denies allegations in explosive AG report; President Biden and many others demand he resign; did brother Chris draft statement?
2021-08-04
The report about the report is here.
[NYPOST] Gov. Andrew Sonny Cuomo
...Dem dynastic governor of Noo Yawk, the son and heir of the late Mario Cuoma and formerly married to a Kennedy. Acclaimed for his leadership during the COVID epidemic, he managed the nation's highest corpse count while successfully hiding the returns and writing a book praising himself. Among the nation's horniest politicians, he has about a dozen allegations of sexual harrassment and groping against him. Noo Yawk's politix being what they are, he is still hanging tough, waiting to ride it out....
maintained Tuesday that he "never touched anyone inappropriately," pushing back on a bombshell official report that concluded he sexually harassed several women in violation of state and federal law.

Speaking on video without news hounds to ask questions, the governor was adamant in his denial, as he has been since the scandal erupted.

"I want you to know directly from me that I never touched anyone inappropriately or made inappropriate sexual advances," he told New Yorkers.

"That is just not who I am," he continued. "And that’s not who I have ever been."

"I welcome the opportunity for a full and fair review before a judge and a jury, because this just did not happen," he further said.

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Biden's call directly follows House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's announcement that she believes the New York Democrat should step down

  • The Speaker of the New York State Assembly, Carl Heastie, said on Tuesday evening that Cuomo has lost the confidence of the Democratic majority and 'can no longer remain in office.' He says he looks to conclude the impeachment investigation 'as quickly as possible'

  • Earlier, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and his fellow New York senator, Kirsten Gillibrand, called for Cuomo to go

  • Twelve New York representatives - including Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Carolyn Maloney, the chair of the House Oversight Committee, and Jerry Nadler, chair of the House Judiciary Committee - all called for him to resign

  • Charlotte Bennett, one of the 11 women to accuse him, said on Tuesday night that he needed to resign and said his press conference was 'a circus' and insulting to her and other accusers
