Facing massive political pressure for his sexual improprieties, sexual harassment allegations, abuses of power and generally creepy conduct in office; in other words – he’s a Democrat; today New York Governor Andrew announced his resignation.
NEW YORK (AP) — Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced his resignation Tuesday over a barrage of sexual harassment allegations in a fall from grace a year after he was widely hailed nationally for his detailed daily briefings and leadership during some of the darkest days of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In a televised address, the 63-year-old Democrat emphatically denied intentionally showing any disrespect toward women but said that fighting back against what he called the “politically motivated” attack on him would subject the state to months of turmoil, and “I cannot be the cause of that.” “The best way I can help now is if I step aside and let government get back to governing,” Cuomo said.
The creepy idol for the leftist political media continued to proclaim his innocence and called the charges of his sexual misconduct “a distraction” keeping him from the duties of his office. However, a previous state investigation showed Cuomo consistently forced kisses upon his female staff; groped their breasts and buttocks and repeatedly touched them inappropriately.
When complaints were made against him, the governors office retaliated and the investigators said Cuomo created a work environment “rife with fear and intimidation.”
Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul, a 62-year-old fellow Democrat and ideological traveler with support from the progressive NY tribe of socialists, will become the state’s 57th governor and the first woman to hold the job.
14 days seems a long time to allow a fire sale on favors unfettered by future political hopes.
Andy (gov) and Andy (prince) sex trials might be good for the ratings.
A trial for mass murder would be more useful.
By resigning, does Cuomo keep his government pension he might lose if impeached? There’s got to be an angle and a deal underneath.
As a Californian, I am greatly encouraged as Newsom, our own lockdown governor is next to go in a recall in 22 days.
I keep wondering if Kamala Harris is happy the two main Democrat competitors for the presidential nomination have or are about to be removed.
I wonder if Hochul was at Obama’s bday bash.
I live in New York state, and am no fan of the son of Mario, but this makes me very nervous for what may be coming next.
Me too. When I look at the generally dreadful performance of women in political office, I have no hope that she will do better. (I’m a woman myself, and the women I reported to during my working life were my worst bosses.) Cuomo, bad as he’s been, has sometimes said sensible things.
Kay, it might depend on the woman. In my forty [!] years of railroad work I had many bosses; one of the best was a woman. Theresa X. was a good railroader, period. She was fair, even handed, and most rare quality of all, she didn’t hold grudges.
For her bosses, she was the “go-to guy” when things were fouled up. She had their phone numbers set to the tune of “Three Blind Mice” on her cell phone…haha!
That all said, I don’t doubt cuomo’s replacement is a major leftist hag; that’s why she was chosen for that position.
So you’re OK with the lunatic men in office/power? Only the lunatic women bug you?
The Albany political pundits are saying to watch who Schumer supports going forward.
Schumer’s looking over his shoulder.
Bet he knows how the CCP got those humanized transgenic mice.
Yes, it’s the devil you know versus ??
I’d be nervous , too.
Simply because, once the Left gets a hold on things , they just get nuttier and nuttier.
Take WA. and OR. as an example.
I’m of Italian descent and no one in my family ever behaved the way that this creep did.
Frankly I’m shocked it took this long.
AC is the only one blaming Italians.
Are you referring to the sexual harassment, or the mass murdering of elderly?
Both
LOL, I was quite certain your family does neither! 😉
There’s some kind of scam going on.
You can’t trust these skells as far as you can throw them.
Dam skippy.
Precisely. 20,000 dead elderly didn’t bother them – he’s in the way of SOMEONE’S next nefarious plot…..
Like they could not have sheltered him from all of this like Hunter Biden’s Laptop, S. Rich, Bill Clinton, Epstein, Weinstein, etc. etc. ?
Obviously, someone wanted him out. You have to remember that the Democratic Party is democratic in name only. It is the Super Delegates (Party Insiders) that control everything, which is why people like Bernie Sanders will never become President but Joe Biden can:
There is no way that Cuomo’s behavior will be the new “behavior standard” of the Democratic Party. If so, Mike Bloomberg would be PNG. Somebody wanted him out, but who and why still remains to be seen. IMHO
PS: The other possibly plausible explanation is that the story started gaining traction in places like Vox and the Huffington Post, and they could not shut in down (you can ban Alex Jones but not Ezra Klein), so it could be a situation where they are “eating their own”? …but my suspicious mind makes me believe it is my first explanation.
Not to mention all those innocent full-term children whose murders COMMO celebrated with a bright pink Empire State Building.
Why is Howard Zucker still in his job?

No doubt, Democrats just don’t resign.
“…Democrats just don’t resign.” The fun begins. Just wondering how much sneaky crap he gets accomplished in the next 336 hours.
My theory is that the masters in control decided he was too much of a wild card and wanted someone more malleable in office.
LOL! That’s obvious!
Wherever there’s a DemonRAT in charge there are always multiple scams going on!
My theory is that the Obama faction wanted to take out any potential challengers to Kamala because she is hated and getting second thoughts from some Democrats. Any progressive democrat with name recognition is a threat to her taking over the Presidency.
I would be watching the NY Ag Letitia James.
NY AG’s have a pattern of taking down the Govs and then becoming Govs- she’s black, a leftist and may become gov, then a replacement for Kamala.
wonder what people he’s gonna take down with him in next few weeks
None, unless he wants to push up daisies, is my guess.
He won’t take anyone down. Evil vile sadist DemoCommieFascists stick together.
As long as they breathe they carry the message. This is merely an optics thing, he’ll still be working for the cause and preserves his perks.
From the frying pan, right into the fire.
??
So, same old whine, in a brand new bottle. The investigation on nursing home deaths will be swept under the rug, and since he has resigned, there will be no charges filed on the sexual misconduct.
After all, for the ‘elites’ simply losing their position is considered punishment enough, …
We have seen THAT before, time after time,..
He will no doubt collect a generous pension, based on his “years of service”, he will write a book, no one will read, and get a spot on CNN, alongside his brother, to be a “Click and Clack” comentary on politics,…probably several “consulting” gigs, perhaps teach a College class,..
And his ‘replacement’ is just as leftist as he is, but wears a skirt, so insulated from sexual misconduct allegations,..
And the whole nursing home scandal, including that at least 3-4 other governors did the same thing, is forgotten,..
And thats how they roll.
“Don’t trust my brother.” while pointing at each other
How is Cuomo any different from your typical Democrat big time politician? What did Cuomo do that the entire Kennedy clan didn’t? What makes Biden OK if Cuomo must be removed?
This is a factional fight within the left. It may be Obama vs Clinton. It may be AOC vs the oligarchs. It may be MeToo vs old white guys. The one thing it is not is what the media says.
Team Clinton vs. Team Obama – note Hillary probably thought they’d pull the same cheating in 16, she’s gone now, hmmm
It’s a fight between the Corrupt wing (Cuomo) and the Drink-the-Cool-Aid wing, which is also corrupt.
the Kool-aid wing is corrupt with a purpose other than lining their own pockets which makes them more dangerous IMHO
Agree. I suspect there is a very small group of people who control most of what we see, and that group decided Cuomo lacked total reliability and therefore must be replaced. Someone has to be calling the shots and telling people what to say, because they all say the same things.
Another useful idiot cashiered by Team Obama. Newsome is next. In time it will be Joe’s turn.
They’re clearing the decks with the shrapnel of social justice for the next Anointed One.
I just signed up to work my local polls in LA county. They recall vote is going to go on for 3 days…. not sure if that’s normal…. but I always thought voting was one day. ??♀️
I wonder what did they really have on him (Cuomo).
He’s so sleazy, but he was weathering these sexual problems just like the nursing home deaths.
Obviously the far left want him gone because he’s a threat to the Obama wing of the Democrat party.
So what they had on him had to be far, far worse…. In my opinion obviously.
Yep.
The thing is, I’m in PA, and I didn’t see that Cuomo was “Facing massive political pressure for his sexual improprieties”.
He was weathering it and holding firm, and then this out of the blue.
It was purely a political maneuver. COMMO merely vacated his position to pave the way for the next tyrant.
The man presides over the murder of innocent babies and the elderly, and he walks away with a slap on the wrist for his roving hands? Really?
I agree, 99/100 pundits continually said he wasn’t going anywhere, Cuomo himself said he wasn’t going anywhere.
I’m thinking SQUIRREL, and need to figure out what news is being hidden
1. Cuomo stepping down is a good thing. Managing to successfully remain in office while weathering the elderly deaths and outrageous abuse of women wouldn’t be a good thing. The loss of Cuomo and the political cracks that are appearing are a sign that they are failing. Sacrificing Cuomo and others, wasn’t Plan A.
2. The left underestimated public outrage over the death of the elderly in nursing homes,imo. It was supposed to happen quietly, and out of sight, with people that no one cared about, they thought.
Andrew delivered his “fire in dry grass”, and was paid with accolades including an Emmy and a$5 million book deal.
Any DOJ investigation should have been covered, with Comey’s daughter, and DeRosa’s MIL Audrey Strauss at SDNY, and the Biden DoJ under Garland ultimately dropping the investigation in due time.
A public interest group, the Empire something…started asking uncomfortable questions and filing FOIA requests, as did nursing home staff that were initially blamed for the outbreak, iir.
Women came forward with stories of the toxic environment that he created. The fear and intimidation within NYS government workplace started at the top. It was/is real. Employee unions wouldn’t touch it.
Why did Leticia James take up the investigation? A distraction from the DOJ investigation that was promptly dropped? Pressure from NYS lawmakers?
Heads of advocacy groups representing the LGBTQ and sexual discrimination base participated in an attempt to smear his victims. They’ve been forced out by their members and threaten loss of the base. Alphonso David and HRC, is heavily linked to the Clintons and is outed.
Cuomo is the face that the public associates with the nursing home deaths. He had to go to protect the others…Howard Zucker, Fauci, NYS and private research institutions responsible for genomic/transgenic/biotech talent and IP transfers to the CCP and all that facilitated, NYS politicians, banker trustees and benefactors, green new deal leapfroggers, big healthcare stakeholders and political donors, those on the advisory councils of the WH offices for Science and technology Policy and their higher ups.
This is the deal that was cut, but the work of the Empire Passports and the civilian health corps must continue at all cost. It’s a model for the nation.
However, none of this was Plan A. They’re taking on water, imo.
Does this mean the evil, perverse, corrupt odumba&& wing ousted the evil, perverse, corrupt clintoon crime cyndicate wing?
Never makes me feel glad when a democrat quits or is fired. Means only they got someone they prefer in the stead who is far worst. Probably took so long this time because they couldn’t find anyone.
Never fear. Andrew The Pierced will reinvent himself. Write a book. Do the parties. Do the talk shows. Run for office in a few years. Maybe run for President. The worlds his oyster.
But what about the mass murder of elderly people in NY?
No Democommunist leaves office except as part of another Democommunist agenda.
Seems like that old pig was forced by #metoo to leave due to generalized, anachronistic horniness?
As pointed out by Taibbi, what about all the reflected calculated transgressions? Deliberately undercounting rest-home Covid-19 deaths to head off a federal civil rights investigation, taking money from Harvey Weinstein’s lawyers before halting an investigation into the handling of Weinstein’s case, keeping a right-hand man who took hundreds of thousands in bribes, etc., etc.?
I can’t reconcile how Cuomo is a me too casualty while biden continues his creepy behavior with young girls.
Politics is not a bad profession. If you succeed there are many rewards, if you disgrace yourself you can always write a book.

Hysterical…. Good one – No, great one!!! :):):)
I think the first bunch of comments here are correct. The dems are clearing out the trash for the 2022 elections and his replacement will be worse than him.
Better than a wolf on sheeps clothing . Rinos are known to be duplicitous SOBs.
His replacement is much more far left and has been described as a “Biden Democrat”. That is very telling and we are in a world of hurt in NYS. She is already on record to want to raise taxes.
And an article at Breitbart claiming Pelosi will soon (around 2022 midterms) be stepping down as Speaker and her top aids – also 80ish – may not move up a notch.
New York’s governor, mr personality, denied intentionally showing any disrespect towards women, and he actually said it with a straight face. The clown ? walked around with his hand attached to some female’s butt regularly.
” The clown walked around with his hand attached to some female’s butt regularly.” Butt he did it only with the utmost respect. He didn’t grab just anybody. He had standards.
Some higher-up Dem/Lib/Leftist probably thought Cuomo’s nipple ring piercings were a bridge too far…..
He needs a couple of weeks to prep for his new show on CNN, MSNBC, or heck, maybe even Fox with the bias they show all the time.
I smell a rat called Mrs. Clinton
This is the Choom Gang at work.
Maybe, but I think it’s more tied into Obama and his handlers. The Clintons showed the way.
Cuomo is in someone’s way and they want him gone. What scares me is how quick it happened, which makes me think they really have something pretty bad on him.
I think they just wanted him out cuz of all the Covid Nursing Home deaths he caused.
They don’t want to touch that one.
Obama and his handlers=

(Indonesia ’66)
IMO
Did Andrew have a role at HUD when Valerie J. was making $$$$ in substandard housing?
Is Chelsea ready?
Chelsea has ties to the Human Rights Campaign, whose leader helped try to smear Cuomo’s victim.
Yes! Who do you think may be lined up? Perhaps Chelsea Clinton?
Look under the rock called Human Rights Campaign foundation…
The way things are right now – His replacement will be even worse.
Okay, okay, I’ll resign but you won’t prosecute me for murder?
THAT’S WHAT I THOUGHT….20,000 ELDERLY DEATH…..TOO HOT POTATO FOR DEMMOCOMMIES…….
Why wait two weeks to resign?
Resign effective today.
Makes me wonder what will happen in the next 14 days that could prevent that?
What false flag will be triggered, not necessarily or him, but he would know if it was coming and take advantage of it?
Wait for it
He has paper files to burn, emails and databases to bleach, this is hard work folks.
rumor has it Biden is annoucing Federal Lockdown tomorrow? maybe they plan on two week the same two weeks cuomo is still in office? if rumors are true? Big if..
In Louisiana, the NOLA Jazzfest was cancelled. It was scheduled for early fall.
Locally, an annual festival,
scheduled for this coming weekend had TV and radio ads constantly. This morning it was cancelled.
Take from it what you will…….I think we are looking at a lockdown, at least in Louisiana.
Please provide a link to support this claim that impacts us all.
Now it’s time to go after the fraud in chief, or chief fraud. He does it to kids for crying out loud. Honestly Cuomo needs prosecuted for the many nursing home deaths he caused. Sadly dems are still exempt from even being charged let alone standing trial.
“….needs to be prosecuted…” There. Fixed it for you.
This news drop from the weekend also figures into the entire slime bag left and their hypocracy!!!! Cuomo Mobster Crimem Family
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/08/times-leader-roberta-kaplan-resigns-exposed-involvement-ny-gov-cuomos-efforts-discredit-accusers/
The leader of ‘Times Up,’ the progressive group that was founded to ‘fight sexual harassment, resigned on Monday after it was exposed that she had assisted in New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s efforts to intimidate and discredit his accusers.
women should learn by now progressives run activists group are just demonrats outfit. They protected their own pedo. Some pedos are equal than others like Clintonites and Senile in the WH.
Well said, and correct.
Last 2 weeks of a tyrant as Governor of NY?
In August? (when few are watching).
Let’s see who he pardons ?(and how much money they have).
Will he pardon himself as many accused Trump would do?
Cuomo would have gone much earlier if other investigations had been independent.
Obama’s check list:
Clinton’s Check
Cuomo’s. Check
Pelosi/Newsom Soon
Who can check Obama now?
Paying attention yet?
Cuomo is a guy who needs a serious butt kicking. Looks like he’s now getting what he deserves.
/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/304?cb=20131019132456
Deserves? That won’t happen until he is brought before the Great White Throne Judgment.
Same as all the unsaved.
Revelation 20:11-15.
“All females on my staff, my security detail, or within a 10 mile radius of me….I only have 14 days left to grope and assault you. Please make your appointment to visit my office before August 24th. Thank you for doing your part!” – Creepy Cuomo
LOL. And I bet some of ’em would show up.
The testimonies of some of these women and the disgusting stuff he did to them>>>>> and they didn’t bother to STOP him while it was happening!
My God what a bunch of loser creeps. Just sit there and take it.
I think I finally get what so many Democrat women are just butt ugly: it’s a defense mechanism. They know how most of the Liberal men are perverts and by making themselves unattractive they reduce their odds of being sexually molested.
By the same token, the ones who want to get ahead (pun intended) doll themselves up and attract the pervs, thereby having a two-pronged (like a democrat’s tongue) approach to advancement. Either (1) move up by lying on their back or (2) being “assaulted” and riding that pony to the top of the heap.
I suppose it’s good work if you can get it.
this guy is a corrupt, traitorious sellout!! ythe “golden boy” of the deep state Dems!!
sexual allegations tooday you pervert, and accountability for the mass murders you insured you facist. nazi and communisti
deep state bastard you and the dems need to pay for!!
2018-19 He was a ‘Presidential Hopeful’….a ‘possible’……!
Ok some of you New Yorkers -please give us the lowdown on Hochul and catch us all up to date on her hypocrisy and crimes.
He needs the fourteen days to return all the ventilators he has stored in his garage.
Just because he’s leaving office next month should not stop the Democrats from impeaching him anyway.
Maybe he needs the 14 days to find someplace to live!
i heard Howie Carr discussing this, and had to look it up.
“Maybe he can live in his brother’s basement!”
https://nypost.com/2021/08/07/cuomo-has-no-home-to-return-to-if-he-resigns-or-is-impeached/
Lots of empty RE in Manhattan right now. He’ll have no prob.
And if he still can’t afford NYC, Albany area is a steal.
Cuomo, Newsom and Whitmer were all possibilities to replace Kamala (assuming Obama would allow her replacement), and now all have little or no future on the national scene.
Klobuchar and Gillibrand were duds. Looks like they’re stuck with Kamala for 2024, assuming the walking dead crook with an unhealthy interest in little girls can’t be propped up and fed statements through his hearing aid by then.
I hope he wakes up in a nursing home.
Well, the “sexual misconduct” charges ARE a distraction — a distraction from the thousands of deaths Cuomo caused by demanding that elderly COVID patients be herded back into nursing homes and kept out of hospitals. My guess is that he’s taking the fall for the sexual improprieties and in return he won’t be investigated, charged or prosecuted for the nursing home murders.
Interestingly, NJ Gov. Phil Murphy, who did the same thing to elderly COVID patients last year, fled the country for a vacation to his villa in Italy the same day that Cuomo resigned.
Murphy needs to be accountable to, and he’s just as much of a fascist dirtbag as Cuomo, no matter how much Trump tried to convince us that “Phil Murphy is a good guy.”
14 days to Flatten The Perv.
Ha!
BWAHAHAHA! That would be a perfect headline (and typical level of humor) for the New York Post!
Cuomo has to be a good guy to get Ker-smacked like this. They seldom tromp on their own like this. He must have done something good.
Looks to me the Democrats are trying to set up DeSantis with a phony sex crime scandal and need Cuomo to go the way of Al Franken.
Not sure if it’s been said yet, but I’m pretty sure this is a “controlled demolition”. Get ahead of any potential bombshell narrative (nursing home murders) and knock the wind out of it’s sails—at least before it kills the demon party. They’re good at those demolitions, literal and metaphorical.
WHOA! There has to be some MAJOR happenings going on in the background for Dems to throw Cuomo under the bus and him to actually resign. Never thought I’d see this day!
While all this theater is going on I keep wondering what the UniParty is trying to distract everyone from. Maybe the heat on the infrastructure bill was getting too hot.
Why Now?
Democrats have known how he was for years, so why hang him now? Newsom is going to be ejected also. So why are Dems clearing them out? One theory is to clear the road for Kamala, but I dont beleieve that’s it. Even Dems dont like her, and they no she can’t be a viable candidate.
My theory is this.
The Chicago Socialists are clearing the field for Illinois Governor JB Pritzker to run in 2024. He is their new poster boy, will self fund, and follow what they tell him to do. He was even willing to pay for Obama’s Senate Seat.
Kamala will take over in January, 2023, when Biden has to resign due to health issues, and will get the life ling distinction as first Female President. JB will be appointed VP. She will then decide not to run in 2024, leaving the field wide open for Pritzker.
Watch to see if he begins to rise on the National stage in the next year.
In other words he’s just another version of Clinton and Joe Biden. Except as far as we know, Cuomo likes them a little older than those two old perverts.
We all know, this is a just a distraction from his handling of covid which resulted in the murder of elderly nursing home patrons. Sick bunch of degenerates who run things.
Guess he didn’t have enough dirt on the other rats.
This gives the good people of NY a brief respite from Fauci Flu tyranny as they rearrange the chairs.
It was either take the Obama-ites sexual harassment take down or face the Clintonistas Arkancide. This is how we know who forced Cuomo out of office: He is still alive.
The only thing that worries me is the cast of Commies who are lining up to take his place.
#1 will be the disgusting AG Tish James who stuck the final knife in his back. Then watch out for Sharpton, DelAssholio, AOC, who knows who will try for the spot?
I think that if the dopey Republicans can get their act together, they will have the best shot that they’ve had in years to take the spot. Astorino and Zeldin are both good candidates. However, the cheating machine is overwhelming.
That was my first thought that they’re clearing the way for Letitia James. Soros and Obama appear to be working under the radar to install as many black, radical females as possible in key government position s. Their gender and their race make them untouchable; and they become the best dictators because no one is allowed to question them. It doesn’t matter how unlikable they are, either. Think Kamala, Lightfoot, Bowser, et al.
