andrew cuomo resign or if he would be impeached. and the person who would replace him is a person who was caught in a sexual allegation of her own. if he resigns, she would become the first female governor in new york. and joining us is katy. and she has condemned the behavior in the attorney general s report, and she stopped short of asking for his resignation. she said that the lieutenant governor standing in the line of succession, it would not be appropriate to comment on the process at the moment, and so describe for us the fine line that the lieutenant governor is walking right now.
will he push for a trial? will he mount a defense? this is not going to be pretty if he goes forward, people acknowledge, but at the same time, he is going to risk his pension as for a person who spent a number of years in service is significant if he is impeached and the first governor since 1913 when william solzer was impeached in office, and that not a book that governor cuomo wants in the biography. he has the pension and the personal legacy and the family legacy at stake here. and katy, i want to bring you in the governor s response the this, and namely the taped response and the taped statement yesterday, because as part of the defense, the governor showed several clips of him hugging and kissing and touching people along with other politicians doing the same thing, and he said that he learned from his mom and dad, this gesture of putting your hand on somebody s
