Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) has urged critics of embattled New York Governor Andrew Cuomo to refrain from jumping to the conclusion that the governor should resign due to multiple sexual harassment allegations.
Graham offered his defense of the Democratic governor while speaking to Fox News during a short interview from the Capitol on Tuesday. Over the past week, three different women have come forward with claims of sexual harassment against Cuomo, who had already been under heavy criticism over his handling of nursing homes amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
The co-founders of Axios say Democrats should all be calling for New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, D., to resign if they want to meet their own standards for Republicans facing accusations of sexual harassment.
Cuomo Deserves Due Process Amid Sexual Harassment Allegations: Sen. Graham
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) defended New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s right to due process, saying he believes all sexual assault allegations should be treated the same, whether toward Democrats or Republicans.
Graham cited the treatment of conservative Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh by Senate Democrats during his confirmation hearing.
“Well, here’s what I would tell my Democratic colleagues to do: follow the Republican model. We had a Republican nominee for the Supreme Court to be accused of something, the day before we voted, the moment before we voted. We could have gone ahead saying this was too late, you sat on it, you didn’t tell us, this is not fair. [Instead] we stopped the entire damn process,” Graham told Sean Hannity of Fox News.
Vice President Kamala Harris continued to remain mum on the issue of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo s sexual harassment allegations even after some notable individuals from Democrats and Republicans have already expressed their views and opinions.
Fox News reported that many members of both parties weigh in on the sexual harassment allegations from multiple women reporting Cuomo s inappropriate conduct. But Harris voice was still absent in the conversation.
According to CBS News, Andrew Cuomo has been out of sight, but top Democrats in Washington D.C. could not avoid the topic about the governor, who is now under the fire.
