Half of New York’s democrats are now asking Governor Andrew Cuomo to resign following six women stepping forward with details of sexual harassment. However, the New York governor, who is also guilty of killing thousands of elderly residents with his COVID nursing home rules, is defiant in his media statements today.
ALBANY, N.Y. — (AP) — As the Democratic Party turned sharply against New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and he faces growing allegations of sexual harassment, he insisted Friday he wouldn’t resign and castigated politicians calling for him to quit as “reckless and dangerous” and engaging in “cancel culture.”
“I did not do what has been alleged. Period,” he said, again calling on the public to let ongoing investigations into his conduct to play out. “Wait for the facts.” “Politicians who don’t know a single fact but yet form a conclusion and an opinion are, in my opinion, reckless and dangerous,” he added.
With a sprawling coalition of congressional leaders joining dozens of state lawmakers in calling for the embattled governor to step down, the Democrat hit back. “You need to know the facts before you make a decision,” he said. “People know the difference between playing politics, bowing to cancel culture and the truth.”
Cuomo’s growing list of detractors now covers virtually every region in the state and the political power centers of New York City and Washington. His allies insist he will not resign, but as allegations of sexual harassment grow, his political isolation has reached unprecedented levels. (read more)
Governor Cuomo press conference today (prompted):
Governo Cuomo motto:”J’y suis j’y reste”.
Won’t touch the untouchable
Cuomo violates federal employment law statutes from 1982-1997. I guess he’s counting on a NY state slush fund to bail him out like the US Congress has for those US Congressmen and Senators who believe they’re above the law, too.
I wish the entire Cuomo family would go away. Gotham
Gotham is Chicago though, what’s it got to do with New York?
The Narcissist Cuomo won’t resign unless he has no one left in his corner with him. He will probably survive, too, given the left can do any horrendous action and the media propagandists will figure out some pretzel logic to justify the behavior.
Cuomo thinks he is the best thing to happen to NY , ever. Just ask him.
He won’t resign unless he gets immunity for the nursing home scandal. His ego is too large.
He just lost Schumer, Gillibrand and Nadler. He is now officially toast. He has no support from the upper Dem brass. Down goes Cuomo!
Taking him out on this ridiculous “me-too scandal” benefits the Communists in two ways. First, it takes the attention off of him and the other Dem governors intentionally murdering the elderly in nursing homes. Second, it enables Obama & the Commies to install someone much more malleable, like say Letitia James, the current AG.
I live in NY and Cuomo has been a horrible governor. But what comes next is going to be way worse, probably similar to DeBlasio. Time for me to skeedaddle.
Cuomo is sticking to the standard Democrat playbook, which is to ride out every controversy until it dies down and pretend that everything is just fine.
A Republican would have been skewered a long time ago for the nursing home deaths and would have resigned. If there were no nursing home deaths then as soon as women started coming forward with tales of handsy, the standard response of Republicans is to resign.
The surprising rising upset from the NYS legislators makes it look like he may actually get impeached … a real shocker, considering that Democrats hold majorities in both the Assembly and the Senate … we’ll see how this all plays out; if they actually impeach or Cuomo’s riding out of the controversy works out.
Good for him. Make them put it all out there. Cuomo will destroy them all before he goes down.
Yes! Behind the scenes he’s likely trying to leverage whatever blackmail he’s used in the past. Perhaps he meets his fate in Ark@ncid3. he wouldn’t be the first.
I see people mad at the fact he won’t resign.
This is a good thing. Conservatives won’t stand up to the mob. Someone has too.
Now, the COVID stuff will either have to be pushed (pulling in many more) or they let this go away. Thy don’t want others going down too. Ruins there narrative and plan.
They will let it go away. Cuomo called their bluff. Good for him.
He’s still a piece of shit but at he is not letting them push him around.
I know this opinion will not be taken well but…oh well. I’ll live.
I think you make a good point – Rs are wimps. There should be criminal charges against Cumu*for murder. I guess the Ds will settle for sex allegations, but no charge there yet either. Like you I hope he swings in the wind a while longer. He deserves as much humiliation as can be thrown because this sex offender and murder will walk. When you do leave Cuom*, take your stinking bros with you.
That is a good point.
This quote from Cuomo is interesting:
“You need to know the facts before you make a decision,” he said. “People know the difference between playing politics, bowing to cancel culture and the truth.”
I see it as an admission by Cuomo that the Democrat cancel culture movement is like a mob shake down. No telling what else Cuomo will say as the tension ratchets up.
They need to re-focus on his covid rulings on nursing home and developmentally disabled facility deaths! Then they can use that precedent to go after the other dem governors who did the same thing!
Cuomo is a scumbag, but do we really have a dog in this fight? I’m glad our host is spotlighting this guy, so we can keep tabs on things, but things are so screwed up that his fate probably doesn’t affect us. In fact, as it appears the Plandemic is shaping up to be an issue we have to deal with firmly, his presence might be a help to us. He’ll be a lightning rod.
No we don’t exactly have a dog in the fight but to sit back and pretend that claims of sexual harassment are worse, far worse than thousands of families suffering because he killed their loved ones is pure evil.
In the age of #MeToo why now? He “has been doing this for years” and all of sudden resign now? And nothing about this reeks? Remember guvnur kkk-blackface of Virginia. they piled on him too and he refused to resign granted his blackface stunt was no where near big freddo’s crime. Besides the nursing home deaths do not just include big freddo. murphy, whitmer, blackface and others killed the elderly. Now they want to make it disappear under the guise of sexual harassment.
We have a dog in this fight because:
Yes, and if Calif succeeds in recalling gruesom, then he can be eliminated from the presidential challenge in 2024. cameltoe, heels up- harris will have no serious challengers!
Why should Pepe L’Pew resign, when he’s the quintessential Democrat deviant?
We have no dog in this fight. I love watching him squirm and wish him the fate of his nursing home victims but if the AOC-De Blasio media fluffed faction win this power struggle our descent into a Communist totalitarian state moves forward at warp speed.
AC, in the pic, seems to be indicating he only groped 5 not 6.
I love how it’s portrayed as a scandal. This clown sent people to die.
Maybe if some of the dem marxists had their relatives killed they sing a different tune.

Look at the picture with his daughter…his fly is unzipped. Priceless
And this policy continues:
https://nypost.com/2021/03/12/team-cuomo-gave-group-homes-a-deadly-covid-mandate-too-and-its-still-in-effect/
Covid positive patients continue to be sent into group homes for the developmentally disabled.
Families couldn’t visit their loved ones, but covid positive are allowed in.
They’re looking more and more like eugenicists, targeting the elderly, and the developmentally disabled.
The unapproved, authorized for emergency use vaccines are human research on a massive scale.
I have only been following this story via the ‘headlines’ — which have become increasingly more outrageous.
Outrageous to the point of — WHAT are they trying to hide? What?
There is evidently far more to this than we are aware of, and if Andrew Cuomo has any cajoles — he will tell us WHAT he knows — BEFORE they take him down; bury him into the trash heap of history; and pretend he never existed at all.
So, wouldn’t it be glorious is Andrew Cuomo spilled the beans?
They evidently are relentless, and are not going to give up in their efforts to destroy this man — so — Andrew — why not take some of them down with you?
IF it is only about the nursing home scandal, I want to see Governor Tom Wolf burned at the stake along side of you.
Only, it is apparently far more than just the nursing home scandal. Still — take Tom Wolf!!!!
Its the nursing home thing, I am pretty sure.
the DNC knows they cannot have a prominent national socialist on the nightly news charged with killing old people while they are working to rig 2022.
Okay, for those not aware of what has been going on in Pennsylvania, our Governor (Tom Wolf) has not been as noticed as some of the other Blue State Governors — only — he has been doing the exact same things.
Governor Wolf does not hold Press Conferences on a regular basis, and when he has — the questions from the Press had to be submitted before-hand. Questions were screened. He had his answers prepared.
HE HIDES!!!!
Governor Wolf has sent out ‘spokes-people’. He has hidden behind his Health Secretary (Dr. Richard Rachel Levine).
How did that turn out?
Unlike Governor Cuomo, Governor Wolf stays hidden. By design.
Pennsylvania is still pretty much on Lock-Down. Face Masks are everywhere.
This guy — Wolf — is a slippery fellow. HE HIDES!!!!!
He has done the exactly same outrageous things as the notable Governors (of New York, New Jersey, Washington, Michigan, Wisconsin, etc.). Exactly the same.
Only, he hides. There is no press coverage. There is no press.
There is no knowledge of the absolute destruction Governor Tom Wolf has done to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
Sounds like a page from Dementia’s playbook!
Maybe he threatened to spill the beans on the whole eugenic-scamdemic.
He has deep ties into life sciences research at SUNY and at the ivy land grant, that overlap into Obama WH OSTP GoF policy.
Maybe the fed-meds are calling in all favors to crush him. They just can’t attribute it to the scamdemic. It doesn’t seem to be working for them.
The Republic is collapsing under it’s own weight and you think I care about Cuomo’s sexcapades. Cuomo has been involved in politics for decades and just now they care about this.
Ben Shapiro says we need to be outraged. Not about a stolen election, just about this.
Even more of a pile on for Blankie Man:

Was there anyone he DIDN’T hit on?
His mother?
That was low………………………..BUT DAMN FUNNY!
Well, that might depend on his necrophilic leanings.
Emmy award winning governor is now the target of cancel culture.. s/ their most typical public servants… pedo, racists, corrupt, money grabber…pure evil.
I wonder if Charlie Baker (Governor, MA) is worried about his nursing home issues. Contributions from nursing home executives to his political campaigns come in around $50k; his Lt. Gov., Karyn Polito, has taken about $30k, and even the State House Speaker, Bob DeLeo, banked about $47k.
No wonder Baker, et al., enacted liability legislation in April 2020 to protect long term care facilities.
This man’s running for NYS Gov.
Looks like there’ll be a lot of speakers there:
hahaahaha!!!!
She has very good penmanship. (!)
…and she can spell supporters….
I hope she doesn’t have a progressive teacher!!!She might be expelled for hate speech!
In this country one is innocent until proven guilty, and this Gubner deserves nothing less than a trial and a full-blown defense, perhaps even from Prof Alan Dershowitz.
There is no one more deserving of a Brett-Kavanaugh-type trial than this NY Gubner.
After all, Hillary Clinton has not called for Cuomo to resign, and pResident Crooked is still sitting her throne.
Plus, Cuomo just came into possession of a great big slush fund, as well as control of the upcoming NY budget.
What fun Cuomo is going to have doling out those dollars.
Too bad Cuomo hasn’t a Steve Bannon and an army of Non-Essential Chump Insurecctionist Deplorables behind him.
We haven’t heard from Bill Clinton so he must be good to go.
The dethroning of Prince Andrew will be fascinating to witness. Not for the machinations of the Left, but for the exposure of the Uniparty. The Left CONSISTENTLY ignores the Rule of Law by trying to target and isolate an enemy and allowing “Society” to do its dirty work. It’s Classic Allinsky!
Watch this story unfold and ignore the known Leftists’ rhetoric. Watch for so-called Conservatives to pick up the “Resign” banner, with little regard for our beloved Due Process. Those are the traitors to our cause, those are the adherents to the Uniparty. Those are the ones that need to be primaried. They will self-identify.
Watch….
The reason for his resignation is for senior covid deaths, not sexual harassment! Until then, don’t resign!
