Gov. Andrew Cuomo announces his resignation amid sexual harassment allegations.
RELATED:
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced his resignation Tuesday under the weight of a sexual-harassment scandal that engulfed his administration and derailed his political future, capping a remarkable and rapid fall for a governor whose national profile had risen to extraordinary heights during the coronavirus pandemic.
Cuomo, a Democrat, said his resignation will take effect in 14 days, ending a decade-long run in the office he dedicated most of his adult life to keeping within his family — first as an adviser to his father, the late Gov. Mario Cuomo, before winning three terms himself.

“I take full responsibility for feeling sorry that you felt that way.”
@Derek I agree 100% also Hispanic culture. Growing up I have had male family members, male friends of family who were strangers kiss me in front of my mom and dad, they even kissed my mom and dad. This was cultural. I may have felt awkward but never uncomfortable. As I grew older I understood it was a cultural thing. I’m very affectionate. It’s how I was raised. I’ve seen families including previous men I’ve dated who simply didn’t show any affection. I thought that was bizzare because it’s natural to hug and kiss upon greeting a person. Now don’t get me wrong in some cultures it’s the opposite. I’ve heard some where Asians don’t like when someone pats their child’s head. Well we have to respect each other’s cultures. My only problem here is this…did these women go to Cuomo and say “hey I feel uncomfortable please don’t do that again” giving one chance it was cultural etc..? Or is everyone now just coming forward together for whatever reason? I don’t know. I’m not convinced either way. If there’s proof that he did this behavior repeatedly to the same women then that’s different. He has 3 daughters. I would hope he’d know better than that. Again I’m not taking sides just bringing up cultural differences. He should have been conservative with his touching. As a nurse we are taught specifically about the importance of touch and how to comfort/ communicate with people of many cultures. Cuomo should have known this after all these years. Just my 2 cents.
@Aaron A I second that. Outstanding quote that fits modern politicians splendidly.
@Derek I couldn’t agree more. Remember Plácido Domingo? In the end he was declared innocent of all charges. Buut who knows that? His career and image ruined forever. Declared guilty beforehand and then had to prove his innocence. The whole justice due process upside down
Hello how are you doing there today?
👏👏👏👏👏😄😄😄😄 that’s a good one. I’m have this too.
Next is to write a book, appear in all TV shows to promote it and tell everyone that he is innocent and a victim.
Especially the trevor Noah show.
Which unfortunately he is
The Luv Guv had sold his house and counted on living in the Governor’s Mansion then the White House…maybe his obnoxiously arrogant baby bro Chris/Fredo 😂 will let him stay in his basement. Their egos are unbearable! @A Rogers
Hello how are you doing there today?
That’s one way to avoid standing trial for Negligent Homicide.
@Terry Reynolds court reporter, do you know anything about that? didn’t think so.
@omik redarhcs Yes I do DA. And the reporter is all that needs to be said.
@Terry Reynolds what do you mean by that? probably nothing
@Terry Reynolds I’ll take that as a grain of salt,
@omik redarhcs You can take it anyway you want.
Dudes trying to pull a Nixon and hope to get away from his crime.
This really comes down to grouping, not all the other fluff he’s making out to be everyday behavior. While those are wrong, he can’t hide from groping.
Grabbing a butt is bad. Killing thousands of old folks don’t mean nothin’.
In NY it is Forcible Touching. a Sex Crime and if convicted he would have to register as a sex offender….
@Alpha-Omega Well, if he follows his own words and words of the left, “women should be believed.”
Blind Justice will come groping for Cuomo. That’s the thing about Justice. She’s blind and often slow, but she never gives up. Her groping for The Truth is relentless.
“I take full responsibility for my actions”. Well, who else would be responsible?
I did nothing wrong but I Resign!!!! 😂
@Linda Ardigo that is right,,,, nice comment
@Victor Melendez lol that’s kinda true. Anything they accuse a male of has a better chance of sticking then if I a guy accused a woman
Lol
Hello ☺️☺️☺️
DarkSydeCuomo?
@thewarrior313 hello ☺️
Cuomo: “So…Can I still keep my Emmy Award?”
“Everything I’ve done is motivated by love”. “I loved all 11 of my accusers”
That’s what abusive parents say, I beat you because I love you.
Hello how are you doing there today?
He loves touching them
Your body my choice
Hello ☺️
How are you doing?
“We must believe all women “, governor Cuomo
The CuomoSexual brothers are asinine. They (FRED0 & Gov. Andrew CumShot) conspired to smear the women who accused the governor of groping and inappropriate touching. If GR0PING was an Olympic event, Cuomo would be competing for gold with Bill Clinton.
Amen
Praise God!! This happened
Hello how are you doing there today?
62% of Americans say a 3rd Party is needed.
Source: Gallup
There will be one rising up….Kim Clement prophesied it years ago….yup yup yup…
That’s because it’s impossible for 3rd parties to gain any ground or achieve anything because the 2 political parties made the law that way
Patriot party
I agree. I’ve already stated, to my friends, that, “If Donald Trump is not the 2024 Republican Candidate, then I’m voting third party.”
Trump is a Third Party Candidate.
He just had to run as a Republican because that’s how the system is RIGGED.
@Kevin Garrett Basically! That’s what I’ve tried telling people
“I did not realize the extent the line has been redrawn”
Where the hell have you been?
He was busy trying to get his skin.
In the ivory tower
This made me laugh so much. I’m pretty sure ‘keep your hands to yourself’ has been taught to every child by every mother for all of eternity. No need to focus on what line was redrawn where or when if you just follow your mother’s rules on polite behavior.
Everyone should stop touching people they aren’t married to or closely related to.
@Hell’s Belle lol i know. Thats the other side of that statement. With his behavior even the Ancient greeks would have him ostracized for randomly touching women sexually.
When a Demo AG goes after a Demo incumbent Governor in a Demo state, you know he does not have a skeleton, he has a CEMETERY (literally) in his closet. Gotta love how he thinks he is throwing himself on the sword for NY even though he has not done anything wrong. LMAO!
“My lawyers …” How many working class blokes can say that as nonchalantly?”
👍👍👍👍😘😘
You are so right! I don’t have even one lawyer. I can’t afford it!
Can you send me your Hangout contact so we can chat better there?
Hello how are you doing there today?
I’m fine and you, how was the family there?
Incredible. From winning an Emmy for self proclaimed “fantastic work fighting Covid” to resigning altogether. The world as we know it is truly a stage, and these people are truly actors by nature.
only “actors” win Emmys!!!!
Thousands of Grannies and Grandpas lost their lives when he directed Covid patients back into nursing homes. He needs to be held accountable.
@2021 USA children are hardly affected? Wtf are you talking about? He sent covid positive people into nursing homes. You know, that place where old people live. Older people are most likely to have severe complications.
If I had a grandpappy who was alive during the COVID-19 outbreak in NYC and he had lived in a nursing home, I would look like him.
Hello how are you doing there today?
@Janice Fox stfu
I can’t believe this grown man who’s done evil things, is actually trying to play the victim card 😂 pathetic
And the hero!
@Sheila02181 really?
@M.C.Martin the Republicans love the liar and insurrection card.
@Coumba Brooks What? Jan. 6th wasn’t even an Insurrection 😂
@Coumba Brooks did cnn tell you that
“I deeply apologize that those women were so upset by the trivial things I did which were not wrong in any way, and I respect them for the lies they told.”
Looks like somepony failed Apology 101 class.
Gotta admit; he’s good at lying… which is, technically speaking, what people expect from politicians
Did anyone try to think for a moment that actually he could be innocent? Wouldn’t be the first time…
“I have more women in senior positions than any governor before me.” That don’t help your case too much here bucko.
I was thinking the same thing lol.
Certainly not. He should have stuck to an all male staff.
