America’s worst governor has jokes, folks.
A defiant New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Friday rebuffed calls for his resignation from state lawmakers over allegations he sexually harassed multiple women, declaring he will not bow to “cancel culture.” The governor also said he is being persecuted because he’s a political outsider.
That Cuomo made these obviously absurd claims is not the funniest part. The funniest part is he said it all with a straight face.
“I’m not going to resign,” an indignant Cuomo said Friday during a press conference. “I was not elected by the politicians. I was elected by the people. Part of this is that I am not part of the political club, and you know what? I’m proud of it.”
Outnumbered panel discusses allegations against New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo as a seventh accuser comes forward.
CNN anchorJake Tapper has repeatedly acknowledged the latest sexual misconduct allegations against Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, yet apparently has no time to talk about the claims on his own show.
On Tuesday afternoon, the Albany Times Union published claims by a sixth Cuomo accuser, an unnamed former staffer who alleged that Cuomo had touched her inappropriately at the governor s mansion late last year.
Tapper, known as a regular Twitter user, retweeted the report after it was shared by Times Union editor Casey Seiler.
The swift abandonment of Mr. Cuomo by most of his party appeared to be a political death knell, although he vowed earlier Friday in a press call to stay on the job.
“Politicians who don’t know a single fact but yet form a conclusion and an opinion, are in my opinion reckless and dangerous,” Mr. Cuomo told reporters. “People know the difference between playing politics, bowing to cancel culture, and the truth.”
The Democratic governor vowed again, “I’m not going to resign. I never harassed anyone, I never abused anyone, I never assaulted anyone.”
He specifically denied the latest allegation of a current aide who said Mr. Cuomo groped her at the governor’s mansion after she was summoned there late last year.
