If Gov. Andrew Cuomo fights sexual harassment charges, he'll regret his statements
Cuomo supported sexual assault survivors when they accused Kavanaugh. Now, Cuomo is offering the 'cultural defense,' despite being raised in America.

If critics thought New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo would relent in the face of 11 women accusing him of disgusting acts of sexual harassment, they do not know Andrew Cuomo. The man who once said “I am not a superhero” is now denying that he is actually a super villain who groped and harassed young women, including a current staff member.
After lashing out at his accusers and critics, Cuomo said Tuesday that he welcomes "the opportunity for a full and fair review before a judge and jury.” He might want to focus on the judge (many of whom he appointed) because his public statements may have torched any jury trial unless a “jury of my peers” means 12 Andrew Cuomos.
