Assembly Minority Leader William Barclay, R-Pulaski, speaks in the state Capitol in Albany Monday afternoon announcing the conferenceâs decision to introduce an impeachment resolution against Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
Kate Lisa, Johnson Newspaper Corp. ALBANY Assembly Republicans submitted a resolution Monday to start the process to impeach Gov. Andrew Cuomo on the heels of multiple scandalous reports alleging he sexually harassed female employees and his administration worked to conceal the state’s total number of COVID-19 deaths in nursing homes. Republican members of the Assembly gathered at the Million Dollar Staircase in the state Capitol to announce a measure for a straight impeachment vote before session Monday afternoon.
The latest accuser, a member of the Executive Chamber staff, claims Cuomo inappropriately touched her during an encounter last year at the Executive Mansion, as first reported by the Albany Times Union.
What utter nonsense, right? Calling for him to resign doesn’t do a darn thing to undermine any investigation. It’s just hoping he has a conscience, which, of course, he doesn’t. It’s a ridiculous political spin that makes no sense. Almost sounds like Cuomo influenced it.
Guess what? He did. According to reports, his people were circulating it, trying to get female lawmakers to sign aboard it.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo is making calls to state lawmakers asking them to say they cannot support calls for his resignation because it may stymie Attorney General Tish James independent investigation, according to several sources.
