A giant impeach New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo billboard was on display over the weekend in Albany over his administration s handling of the coronavirus crisis in nursing homes - and calls are growing louder for the governor to resign or be ousted after a third woman accused him of sexual harassment.
New York State Assemblymember Ron Kim, a fellow Democrat, was one of the first to call for the impeachment last week. In an op-ed for Newsweek, Kim accused the governor of a cover-up in dramatically underreporting the statewide number of COVID-19 deaths among long-term care residents. On top of other allegations against him, Cuomo berated Kim in a private phone call and threatened to end his career after he raised concerns over nursing homes.
