The majority of House Democrats from New York on Friday called on Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo to resign from office in the wake of sexual harassment allegations and his handling of Covid-19 deaths at state nursing homes.
The New York congressional members had been largely silent as Democratic state lawmakers were leading the calls for Cuomo's resignation in the wake of the allegations.
The stunning, coordinated announcements sent shockwaves through the state and could signal a turning point in the scandal. Cuomo has vigorously resisted calls for his resignation, brushing them off as political maneuvers by his rivals. But the congressional group demanding he step down includes members from across the party's ideological lines and included both senior figures connected to the state political establishment and younger progressive lawmakers. Their decision follows another, less than 24 hours earlier, by Democrats in the state Assembly to launch an impeachment investigation that will be carried out concurrently with the state attorney general's independent probe.
At least a dozen House Democrats from New York on Friday said Cuomo must resign, arguing that the allegations have impeded his ability to effectively govern and serve the people of New York.
A source familiar with the conversations that preceded Friday's coordinated call for Cuomo's resignation said the group has been in touch as the allegations mounted, but only agreed to move forward together on Thursday. They decided to wait until Friday morning to go public so as not to step on President Joe Biden's speech Thursday night.

Joker: “these civilized people, will eat each other”
@dan dansen You might want to look a bit further. He ordered nursing homes to take in COVID patients who were still actively contagious, then covered up the number of deaths that caused. The wall street journal and The New York Times have reported that his aides altered reports for him. That is more than “misreporting”.
@dan dansenthe bigger question is why didn’t they want him gone for killing thousands of elderly, they have said for years that sex doesn’t matter. Sex is the cover-up.
@Maryella Rose Yeah, you and Tucker repeating the claim, that Cuomo killed thousands of elderly, doesn’t make it so.
Sorry, but the facts don’t support you claim.

NY Governor Cuomo ( D) helped draft letter disparaging his first sexual harassment accuser: report
Soon after the first woman accused Gov. Andrew Cuomo of sexual harassment last December, the governor and his close associates worked to draft a letter attacking the former aide’s credibility, a new report said Tuesday.
The letter, which was never released, disparaged Lindsey Boylan and accused her of coming forward for “political retribution,” according to a copy reviewed by The New York Times.
Boylan, one of seven women to accuse Cuomo of inappropriate conduct, first made her claims in a series of Twitter posts — before sparking the sexual harassment scandal against the governor with more details in a post to the website Medium.
In the days after Boylan’s tweets, at least one draft of the attack letter began circulating among allies to the governor’s current and former top aides, sources told the newspaper.
The initial intention was to get former top statehouse staffers — with a focus on women — to sign onto the letter, the report said.
One draft of the letter noted a campaign consultant to Boylan, who is now a Democratic candidate for Manhattan borough president, also worked for a Cuomo political enemy.
The letter went on to say that Boylan was “supported by lawyers and financial backers of Donald Trump: an active opponent of the governor,” according to the Times.
It concluded: “Weaponizing a claim of sexual harassment for personal political gain or to achieve notoriety cannot be tolerated. False claims demean the veracity of credible claims.”+=+=+=+
Yahoo News 3/18/21- Breaking News : NY nursing home whistleblower: Cuomo’s order was ‘ridiculous and dangerous ‘
New York nursing home administrator Michael Kraus tells Yahoo News that he warned state officials about Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s order requiring facilities to take in COVID-positive patients released from hospitals.
A New York City nursing home director tells Yahoo News that Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s order lastyear requiring such facilities to take in COVID-positive patients released from hospitals was “ridiculous” and that he warned state officials “we can’t be doing this.”
Michael Kraus, the administrator of the Silver Lakes Specialized Care Center in Staten Island, said he immediately raised the alarm after first hearing about the March 25, 2020, order in a conference call with other directors, hospital leaders and state officials.
“I said that’s ridiculous. We can’t be doing this. It’s just not right to the residents,” Kraus told Fox News in an exclusive interview with correspondent Aishah Hasnie that aired Thursday on “America Reports.”

Lmao as if this isn’t blown out of hand. Be a powerful man and touch someone’s hand and you’re convicted of sexual assault. It’s justified in some cases but it’s gone too far here
@tinka And to the Democrat party, because they like Cuomo, that’s good enough, even as they pretend they want him to resign. They’re not fooling anyone except the ‘tards that form their party nowadays and that COVID sadly hasn’t done enough to thin out the ranks of.
if you want to see the character of a party give them power they are now preying on their own give the guy due process quick to judgement

@MITandMe NotIvy The New York Times should be shut down for aiding and abetting Cuomo in his sexual harassment of twenty something professional women, the Times once again proves how negligent they are at reporting the facts, they just push political narratives, I feel so bad for those girls who had to choose to ‘come out’ from among others and make a statement against being undervalued and insulted by a sitting governor. He’s pathetic.

By J. David Goodman and Danny HakimMarch 4, 2021 :
“In a Nixonian way Cuomo Aides Rewrote Nursing Home Report to Hide Higher Death Toll
The intervention was the earliest action yet known in an effort by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo to conceal how many nursing home residents died in the pandemic.
Both the Federal nd NY State investigations should bring to light the culpability of Governor Cuomo’s through his 56 day order to send COVID infected patients to the Nursing Homes resulting in 15,000 deaths instead of sending them to the 12 temporary hospitals built by the the Federal Government (FEMA) and the 1000 bed Navy Hospital Ship provided by the Trump Administration to NYC “

Nothing like a good old-fashioned sex scandal to cover the fact that MSM celebrated this mans COVID response while he killed thousands of elderly people.
@Trump 4 prison 2021 President Trump was just following the science so actually Fauci is responsible for 500K deaths.
Yep

For real,I was thinking the same thing today,the elderly dying because of his stupid decisions should be enough for him to lose his job
@MITandMe NotIvy Why would Cuomo be so stupid?
Distract the plebs from nursing home deaths
Yeah here in Connecticut even in the home my 97 year old grandmother is in they’ve been carting in patients or residents or whatever knowingly positive with COVID-19 for well over a year. They’re basically immune from even lawsuits over this as the State defends them…
And now, we know Cuomo killed people with disabilities.
So, like were have you been. Tell me you weren’t sleeping. You don’t remember Trump saying stop the count and the testing. Because the numbers would go up? So they did as was his directive. All information should go threw him. Not the CDC. Lord bless your soul. You mean you forgot. Well baby we’ve been over that lie. We’ve watched the numbers go down. By the record. After he fired that captain and said. I take no responsibility. You have to keep up! All states went down. That’s a old trick. But I guess it’s hard to brake old habits. Come on up to these fake women. Maybe he’s got little hands too. Because they sure didn’t say nothing until now. You think their hoping for a new AG,or what afraid of him running?
@Lord Mitchell You’re just mad that Trump has been vindicated by Cuomo.
Remember when people thought he may run in Biden’s spot?
@TheJEDIBRANDON Have him go under oath like Clinton did.
@Airborne 101st he is the epitome of what the Democratic Party has become: corrupt, power hungry, heavy taxation. Democratic Party thinks you’re dumb and need the government to fix everything. I’m very libertarian.

I’m waiting to hear how were they sexual assaulted By taking a picture Or touching someone’s shoulder or arm Asking someone a question that’s every day life where are the real facts
He said a New Yorkers personal space is 6 feet, he said be smart, he said to distance, he should have taken his own advice.
But you see they didn’t say anything while was suppose to happen. The must have weak men in their lives.cause if had been another woman. You’d been new about it.
@speny spen why would you automatically believe these women? Isn’t it innocent until proven guilty? Isn’t that what they said for Judge Thomas, kavannaugh and trump that has 26 sexual assaults with his DNA on a dress.
#IstandbyCuomo100%
@sandra casso please send me a link of anything supporting what you said about Trump. regarding kavannaugh there was 1 person that made that allegation and it was somebody that he had not ever met before. I understand to people that are told how and what to think that would be the exact same as 7 women that Cuomo has actually worked with and has not denied it happened only that the women misunderstood what he had said or done. stand by him all you want but anyone with common sense would at least just remain quiet until the investigation is over. yes he is innocent until proven guilty, of course kavannaugh hasn’t come out and publicly convicted Cuomo like Cuomo did him, but the Dems only know the low road
@Lord Mitchell stop victim bashing. These women would’ve been verbally assaulted if they came forward..
What happens if he’s cleared of the allegations, does he get his job back? Some of these democrats are SICK. Investigate and if he’s guilty then call for his resignation.
Some?
@kstars Most…but it’s really no different in the Republican party…just corporate owned elites pretending to represent a working class that none of them have ever been in…most of these fuckers in office were born rich, or they made their fortunes ripping off the working class… Anyone still voting for either of the corporate parties, is only voting against their own interests, if they actually work for a living.
nonsense! there isn’t a man on earth that hasn’t sexually harassed a woman, even their own wives.
@Carmen Peters ancestry called… you’re a match. The other 499 morons are waiting for you at the family reunion
He could be found innocent of all of these accusations and yet we already have decent evidence of him giving nursing homes immunity who were his donors. Plus the evidence of his failures during coronavirus response, including taking book deal money and hiding his responsibility in nursing home deaths. It’s probably the worst scandal of the decade.
Give this man an Emmy.
🤣
No lower politician ever existed in New York than Andrew “Evil Eyes” Cuomo. Boss Tweed had more redeeming characteristics! What’s more EVERYONE in New York has known this for years yet THEY KEPT ELECTING HIM! Nancy Pelosi said it best: “New Yorkers would vote for a glass or water as long it had a “D” in font of it!”
No cure for TDS
EMMY TIME FROM HOLLYWEIRD!
WHERE IS HOLLYWEIRD?
SILENT AS THEIR HERO GOES DOWN THE SHITTER!
@B Bodziak Sheep!
@B Bodziak Dumb sheep always project!!
@B Bodziak I have a mind of my own. I do the research and make my own decisions. I do not do anything because someone else told me to. If all your friends names were Cliff, would you jump off them?
@B Bodziak Brainwashed Narrative? They saw you coming from a mile away! You sound like you believe the Democrats care about you!
What those lady’s call sex asalt is just playing around some of them love it but because they don’t really get money please don’t get me rong u have woman who is really abused
this is the establishment giving him a way out instead of prosecuting him for nursing home deaths.
Facts
You know what? That never occurred to me but I think you’re 100% correct.
I think you might be right. Like, the nursing home cover up is way more damning and filled with certain proof he effed up. Why focus on only this harassment scandal? Although, if he is found guilty after investigation, then by all means he should resign and be convicted
That’s what I am thinking
FAKE BULLSHIT. ALL OF IT!
🤣🤣🤣🤣 oh the irony. “Be smart” 🤣 well that aged well.
I remember in other cases he was all Believe all women! I think he was right, let’s do that
If these Dems want to go on record calling for the Governor’s resignation without investigations they’re no better the the capital rioters. Can we let democracy work for a change?
Of course your boy said this…he didn’t even let him be charged. My personal opinion is that, given the damning pattern of facts and corroboration laid out in the article, I do not believe it is possible for Eric Schneiderman to continue to serve as Attorney General, and for the good of the office, he should resign.”
The New Yorker published a story just hours earlier that included details of the physical and emotional abuse Schneiderman allegedly inflicted on four women, two of whom spoke on the record.
they’re all asking for investigations resigning won’t change that
“Why We Are Crushing on Andrew Cuomo Right Now” wonder where that quote came from hahaha you bunch of ??? should have read “Cuomo is crushing on me right now” #metoo
“if it was /just/ AOC…”
The nerve…
Instead of resigning with this so-called “pressure”, if he can, try dropping the Democratic Party and go Independent.
I agree with you
If u members of the D party saying cuomo has to go u just lost my vote lm voting I
Crazy right!
@Lord Mitchell yea crazy. All of a sudden roaches are coming out from the woodwork
NO!!! We “Independents” don’t want to be associated with Cuomo…….he fits best with his own party anyway.
Wait until it’s your turn “white anchor”.
