On Tuesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Situation Room,” New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) called on New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) to “be impeached as quickly as possible” if he won’t resign and said, “any assault on a woman, you should face criminal charges. But if you, on top of that, used your power and position to think you could cover up the assault, well, that sounds criminal to me.”
De Blasio said Cuomo’s behavior “is textbook sexual harassment, and then unfortunately, making it worse, in some cases, even sexual assault, disgusting and troubling and unacceptable and he needs to leave office immediately.”
