Vice President Kamala Harris ignored a question about Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s widening sexual harassment scandal while speaking with reporters on Wednesday.

BUFFALO, N.Y. Standing in front of the New York State Office Building in Buffalo, state Republican Chairman Nick Langworthy ran through a list of questions he has for the lieutenant governor.
Among them:
Did she ever witness Andrew Cuomo harass or threaten any employees?
Did she ever level objections against the governor s executive order on March 25 regarding nursing homes, and was she aware of any data being altered or hidden from the Department of Justice, the Legislature, or the media? There is nothing stopping her from answering these questions, Langworthy said. In fact, I believe that she, like the governor, has an absolute obligation to the public to be forthright and answer these questions.

When former U.S. Sen. Al Franken, a Democrat from Minnesota, made the decision to resign in January 2018, the spotlight turned to his party, which turned out to be bitterly divided over his fate. In the wake of mounting allegations of sexual harassment, many prominent Democrats had called for him to step down, and they were led by Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, the junior senator from New York, who has championed women’s rights causes in the Senate. In her letter demanding his resignation, she linked his actions to the “painful” but necessary “reckoning” occurring at the time, calling it a “watershed moment bigger than any one industry, any one party, or any one person.”
