New York Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Wednesday apologized for his behavior toward several women who have accused him of making unwanted advances but denied that he ever touched anyone "inappropriately" and rejected calls to resign.
Cuomo, speaking at a press conference in Albany, urged New Yorkers to wait for an attorney general's inquiry into the allegations to proceed before forming an opinion about the matter.
"I never touched anyone inappropriately. I never touched anyone inappropriately. I never knew at the time that I was making anyone feel uncomfortable. I never knew at the time I was making anyone feel uncomfortable," he said.
Cuomo started his briefing speaking about Covid-19 numbers in the state and did not address the allegations until the end of the briefing.
"I want New Yorkers to hear from me directly on this. First, I fully support a woman's right to come forward. And I think it should be encouraged in every way," he said. "I now understand that I acted in a way that made people feel uncomfortable. It was unintentional and I truly and deeply apologize for it. I feel awful about it, and frankly, I am embarrassed by it, and that's not easy to say but that's the truth."
He continued, "I never ever meant to offend anyone or hurt anyone or cause anyone any pain. That is the last thing I would ever want to do."

I am so disgusted with grownups these days.
Will Cuomo be accepting his Emmy from prison?
@Jay Gee so if he’s not in office, it doesn’t count?? You’re Shameless.
@William H you can put Republicans in that basket oh, but you won’t, even though you had the biggest offender in the White House..
@Tamara Trump never apologizes for misunderstandings, because nothing he ever does is meant to be understandable.
@Louise A
That’s what R & R Law group is talking about on YouTube as we speak
Funny how the sexual harassment claims are seemingly at the forefront instead of the nursing home scandal.
Very observant and I think this is by design to deflect.
Funny trumpers how they care only for NY deaths and not for all 500k caused for the mismanagement. It is like a flu right? Just go out and take hydroxy? .. actually is not funny .. is sad
Democrats know how to play 4d chess, Republicans know how to cuck.
@Robert Godlewski
Wow.. That was amazing, really, you should line up for your nanotech injection
“I did not have sexual relations with that woman”
@ed perkins lol
@dan dansen You just don’t understand any of this at all do you.
@Name the rehearsed wimp talking ain’t working andy
@Guided Meditation I don’t understand the looney world you obviously live in – where the Q anon newsletter is gospel and Hannity, Carlson and Alex Jones the three wise men.
Tranquilizers for his temper be cool if they were off in the middle of the interview
Take care how you treat people on your way up because you will definitely meet them on your way back down.

better to stay away from people in general.
He doesn’t ever want to meet me
If you jump out the window you don’t have to meet anybody on the way down
12:57 what do you mean “Hi How are you” 😅 We need new ways to introduce ourselves in a conversation
https://youtu.be/lmLZwE10Cu0.
Yeah, I felt uncomfortable with how that sounded.
What’s wrong with that? It’s the most common greeting in the world!
how on God’s green earth do you want him to express himself, would you rather he did it the Cruz, Hawley, or your former boss Trump way.
Might be the dumbest comment I’ve ever seen. Do you realize this is being televised?
A whole gang of Karens were just seen on his street with torches and flamethrowers
damn
Because you have to be a Karen to not like Elderly people dying unnecessarily, or you have to be a Karen to not like a coverup and threatening people, you definitely have to be a Karen to dislike sexual harassment.
Stay tuned😜
Owning your actions is what separates true men with integrity from the rest.
Yeah good thing there wasn’t a coverup and underreporting of the deaths in nursing homes. lol. Good thing he didn’t write a book saying how great he was while knowing he sent elderly people to their deaths. That would have been completely unethical.
@A A Shhhh….that’s what they are trying to cover up, because he wasn’t the only one. Wolf in PA did the same thing. All planned to drive up numbers to scare people so that they had time to implement the Great Reset. Much easier to throw him under the bus for being a scumbag to women.
Thank you.
You said it best Jeff.
He shouldn’t resign. Was he found guilty if anything?
Killing 1000s upon 1000’s of seniors! That what he’s guilt of! Sending the sick into those senior homes that were on lock down! He should be ripped of his governorship! These poor families lost loved ones bc of him!
Let’s play the opposite game! Turn everything Cuomo says to the opposite!! It’s hilarious!
imagine if he was a Republican lol.

So much ado about nothing. Haters just want to see a good man go down specially a very vocal oppositionist. Leave the good man alone.
God bless all the New Yorkers going through a tough time right now hope your state get’s better and America.
Thank you so much.

They just need to learn to vote better
thanks a whole lot we’ll try and you stay safe too.
He sounds like he’s on tranquilizers. 🤣
I CAN’T BREATHE 😂😂😂
He should go over Chris’s house and grab a handful of steroids
Maybe just extremely emotional and overwhelmed.
He is innocent unless proven otherwise.

This isn’t the treatment trump received tho
Just like trump right
At least the defence is not “She is not My Type”
@A A As someone who volunteered in nursing homes around NYC during the time, you have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about. Let’s just say people in nursing homes began dying as early as the beginning of February. It was already circulating way before what you’re referring to.
@Michael DiTraglia who
@dan dansen Biden has 100k deaths under his belt so far !! WHEN WILL HE FIX THIS DISASTER
@xDarkxArenx 97% of those were infected under Trump’s watch.
he’s such a beaut…ladies falling at his feet.
He could have just pulled the “I don’t know who that is” card or the “fake news” card
Or he could try to cover it up for months and write a book about how great he is…Oh wait…
Why do you about this?
I find hilarious that Republicans want this man to resign over these allegations but stand behind Trump no matter what he does or says
@Luis Gonzalez Women are fair game in NY,
@Benjamin Valenzuela because these people can’t take responsibility when there is clear facts . Gina carano said it best and I paraphrase, don’t try and destroy me with lies , when I can destroy you with the truth .
@Iliana Herrera by that standard every president / prime ministers of 188 other countries should be held accountable too . Look at the death rate globally . Millions have died. Is Trump responsive for their countries too ? I’m
Not a Trump fan . I can’t stand any politician . They’re all corrupt but think .. there’s no logic to what you posted . as a medical professional of 32 years , I can sit down with you and explain exactly what caused this pandemic . We knew Fauci and the CCP were going to change the 6th Corona virus to what we are now experiencing . There are so many hands in creating this virus . This was planned . Watch bush and Obama talking about a pandemic . We knew about this 17 years ago . I’ll be happy to talk to you as long as you’d like
If it wasnt for trump old ppl wouldn’t have died in those nursing home
@Iliana Herrera were in the middle of a pandemic.. How about Biden also,.. Hes just letting people come on in the mexican border during this crisis.. At least Trump had a wall and vigorous immigration policy during the Crisis. WHY ARE WE JUST LETTING PEOPLE COME THROUGH OUR BORDERS ON MARCH 3 2021 DURING THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION?
When did Democrats have to live up to the moral and professional standards that political officers should honor, when they are accused as liberals by republicians who have ignored all standards for the last 4 years and still enable a con !
The answer to your question is “fucking never.” Or, why every Liberal who got/succumbed to COVID deserved it.
Well, got to give it to the guy for stepping out like this and owning it. Could have just blamed someone and said it was ANTIFA lol
CNN: “These sexual harassment claims against Gov. Cuomo don’t have any evidence. Next we take a look on the sexual harassment claims against Trump”.
CNN did not say any of this, they didn’t even say anything, they just showed the Cuomo address the allegations, they never tried to downplay any of it
@Diego Lopez check their cover from the sexual harassment claims against the “Big Guy”.
@RogerM show me something
People: CNN isn’t covering Andrew Cu-
