BREAKING NEWS – Albany, New York – If New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo doesn’t resign following the state attorney general’s report that found the governor had sexually harassed 11 women, a majority of state Assembly members are reportedly prepared to start impeachment proceedings.
At least 86 Assembly members – more than half the total of 150 – have either publicly said or told The Associated Press they would be in favor of taking that step to remove Cuomo in the wake of the latest bombshell against him.
“It should be clear to everyone that he can no longer serve as governor.”
Prominent Democrats at the national and state level, including President Biden, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and both of New York’s U.S. senators, have called for Cuomo to resign. The report found Cuomo engaged in “unwanted groping, kissing, and hugging,” made inappropriate remarks toward staffers and oversaw a workplace culture “rife with fear and intimidation.”
“I have no intention of leaving office,” explained Cuomo said at a press conference. “If I leave office, I’ll never be able to get another a coerced date with a woman. My power is my appeal, why can’t my critics understand that? That’s why I can relate to Harvey Weinstein.” He pounded his fist on a podium. “I had to behave in that fashion! I had no choice!”
