New Bipartisan Calls For Cuomo To Resign Made After Groping Accusation

How long will New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo be able to resist the numerous calls for his resignation that have been made amid the growing number of sexual harassment allegations? At this point, it appears he is close to holding on for dear life now that another prominent New York Democrat is insisting that he step down.
RedState’s Nick Arama reported that the Governor stated he refused to resign amid the allegations and noted Democratic Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins was still holding out on calling for his resignation.
“Democratic Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins who said prior to the weekend that if one more woman came forward, Cuomo should quit, has been silent since the 4th and the 5th woman came forward last night,” she wrote.
“I’m not going to resign because of allegations,” he said during the press call. “The premise of resigning because of allegations is actually anti-democratic,” he argued. “The system is based on due process.” He then suggested that it wasn’t known if the allegations were credible. Guess that whole “believe all women” thing completely goes out the window when it comes to him. No, the premise of resigning isn’t “anti-democratic,” resignation is a voluntary move. He said let the attorney general do her job “and then we’ll have the facts.” Ah, yeah, just like the July report that your aides ‘influenced’ were the ‘facts’ on the nursing home scandal. This guy is something else.
