were pulled out. the argument being they were the ones provoking people. the new president, new riots and new calls together again in portland. new york governor andrew cuomo seen tonight walking the grounds of the governor's mansion talking on the phone snuggled into a blanket. mounting calls for him to resign due to allegations of sexual misconduct and covering up covid deaths due to covid-19. although just getting started democrats are piling on calling for him to resign with his steadfast refusal so far. for fewer new york state lawmakers particularly democrats with this assembly and senate threatening with impeachment, something he has a much harder time ignoring. lauren green joins us from new york with the latest allegations against cuomo, good evening, lorne. >> good evening, shannon. andrew cuomo is really fighting for his political life as he is defending himself against the political avalanche of those calling for him to step down. >> this afternoon a defiant governor andrew cuomo said he would not resign and plans with growing to a politicians to step aside don't have the facts and blames the political whims of the times. >> but people know the difference between playing politics, bowing to council, cancel culture, and the truth. >> seven women have come forward with allegations against governor cuomo accusing of sexual misconduct. the latest, a journalist who covered new york state politics. she described to the new york magazine that andrew cuomo has been on my body, my arms, my shoulders, the small of my back, the waste and various other reports reveal a deeper problem of the administration as several staff members with chaotic and tough work environment of bullying and harassment. the magazine published a heat text message exchange that fox could not independently verified between cuomo aide melissa derosa and from last year as the covid shut down was ramping up showing the culture of demeaning people. at one point the senator said i'm interested only in the facts and saving lives, not in fighting or arguing about this. and responding with you are a bad person and you are full of blank. "new york times" staffer said working with cuomo was "the worst place to be." "wall street journal" said when this surfaced, sick staffers to glean information to discredit her. cuomo said he denies that he ever acted inappropriately. >> cuomo is saying he deserves due process as stated lawmakers and attorney general pursue independent investigations. shannon. >> shannon: from that point, we can agree, lauren, thank you. as new york's top congressional democrats calling for cuomo to resign, president biden remains on the sidelines. kevin corke is tracking the latest reaction from washington tonight. good evening, kevin. >> good evening, shannon sometimes it's what you don't say that speaks volumes quite frankly. joe biden yet to comment on the surrounding allegations involving cuomo but today the press secretary did. and her take on biden's viewpoint was illuminating. speak with the president believes that every woman who has come forward deserves to have her voice heard. should be treated with respect and to tell her story. think of it as a window into mr. biden's thinking as it relates to governor cuomo. calling him to step down, welcome at the moment a bridge too far for this white house. but not for growing number of democrats, a list which now includes dozens of state and federal officials including judiciary chairman jerry nadler and both senators. it is clear governor cuomo has lost the confidence of governing partners and the people of new york. senators chuck schumer angela brown, governor cuomo should resign and added representative alexandria ocasio-cortez and jim all the moment the fact that the latest report was recent is alarming and raises concern about the present safety and well-being of the administration staff. part of the illusion of declarations calling on cuomo to step aside in the wake up half-dozen allegations of misconduct. >> because of you, mr. president, help has arrived. >> mr. biden is not the only one from the administration to personally weigh in on cuomo. neither has vice president harris, who today joined democrats in the rose garden for their victory lap after the straight party line stimulus bill signed into law. harris, you will recall, famously weighed in on allegations that supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh and senator al franken who later resigned amidst the controversy. here is tweeting in december 2017, "sexual harassment and misconduct should not be allowed by anyone and should not occur anywhere. i believe the best thing for senator franken to do is step down." but this time with cuomo fighting for his political life, harris, so far, has pulled her punches. now come on monday, harris will head out west to las vegas for her very first trip to nevada since taking office to tell to a rescue plan which will include $1400 checks for people earning. that is still a lot less than $2,000 check that aris/biden promised on the campaign trail but a much needed hope for people out there, shannon. >> shannon: kevin, thank you so much. have a great we can. >> you too, my friend. >> shannon: recent virginia history with the contacts involved with governors embroiled in scandals. remember this, virginia democrats in an uproar over ralph northam with the blackface fiasco would jeopardize chances of taking control of g.o.p. dominated state legislature. there were many calls for ralph northam to resign. we cover them on "fox news @ night" with naacp leadership. >> wealthy african-american community is upset at the democratic party to an extent because there seems to be this loss of zero tolerance fore do lip service and say this guy should resign, then they turn around and sneak in fund-raisers. >> shannon: today, democrats controlled both houses of the commonwealth legislature. rioters targeting portland, oregon, again. not long after authorities protecting the governors building since last summer. violent protesters set a fire at the entrance and tried to force their way into the building. she breaking news course on it trace gallagher has the details from a good evening, trey's. >> good evening we are on the doorstep of 2021 but in portland, oregon, it looks very much like summer of 2020 and last night some 60 protesters dressed in black chanting -- the united states to break windows, set fires into battle with federal police and here is what it looked like and sounded like. >> what's up! >> this riot was insensible to oil pipelines in canada and wisconsin but it was almost indistinguishable from 100 plus nights of violence portland saw last year. though the violence is familiar, the media coverage is not pure and former president trump said federal police portland said trumps deployment of federal agents is exactly how not police protest. "new york times" said trump was "stretching the legal limits of law enforcement." now that president biden is controlling federal police, it must be okay because the media is largely silent. while everyone saw the violence at the courthouse, there has been very little national focus on how crime is exploding across greater portland. both murders and gun violence are at an all-time high. many believe that the direct result of city council members taking $15 million from the police budget. that, of course, in response to black lives matter's protesters and others calling to defund the police. now black clergy members are calling for more police. >> we see the hurt, we feel the pain. >> even democratic ted wheeler who joined the protesters last summer is acknowledging defunding the police was a mistake. >> looked, the level of violence on their streets and the trauma that it is causing require a decisive response. speak with the mayor is asking to refund the police $2 million to focus on the riots and violence and may be bringing some people to justice. because amidst last night's fire is, riots and there was exactly one arrest. shannon. >> shannon: trace gallagher, thank you appear at the white house and democrats celebrating the partisan passage of $1.9 trillion covid package today and even as the biden administration continues to refuse to share credit on vaccine development with former president trump. >> the vaccines come it was operational warp speed that was invented, executed and initiated neither the former president. the spirit of bipartisanship as opposed to the first comments that the miles in the first days, weeks and months. suffice to say the previous administration and former president for putting us in this position, we are glad to make it go forward to. >> that is excellent as a speechwriter but the purpose of last night's speech was to give what the administration has been doing and what he has done since he took office. >> shannon: solis talk about giving credit where it is due with hhs assistant matt bassett and acting director of national intelligence, ric grenell. great to have you with us tonight. >> good evening, shannon, thank you for having us. >> shannon: even "the new york times" a fact-check they said if the president's speech last night they found two things exaggerated and misleading, contrary to mr. biden's suggestion both administrations deserve credit for the current state of the vaccine supply but rick why is it her for the white house to say listen, we've picked up where they left off? >> ric: because it is washington, d.c., and that is what they do appear they have short-term memories and it's all about them, all about their p.r. look, the simple fact is i was in the oval office doing national security briefings with president trump when a phone call would come in about work speed. he would immediately say, take the call. let's keep this moving. and he would talk to whomever was there, the medical advisors, the ceos, the pharma company. it would immediately add other people to a call to say, hey, you need this answer and you want this done here let me get the fpa and secretary of human health and services and literally like an operation of switchboard operator, adding people to the call and having them talk in the immediate sea. this was a president completely focused on getting us to the vaccine and he did it. >> shannon: there has been a lot of frustration and i know trump administration officials told the same story that rick does and it's not portrayed and things were in shambles when it comes to covid and the vaccine but hey, "new york times" giving the guy credit. does that make you feel a little better? >> matt: it does, shannon, but i think the president missed a tremendous opportunity to bring the country together around that. by failing to mention operation work speed in his remarks, he really just did not give the former administration -- he didn't give credit where credit was due. operational warp speed was my generation's manhattan project. upon learning the virus was on our shores, the president created and implemented operational warp speed under the direction of secretary azar and admiral brett giroir and they mustered every resource available within the public and private sector in the hopes of quickly developing the vaccine. 11 months after learning of the virus, we had not one, but two working vaccines and gave the president a series of 300 transition meetings to plan to move forward to vaccinate all americans. to fail to mention that in the speech is most unfortunate. by the way, shannon, that 11 month time frame was five years, faster than a vaccine had ever been created in history. >> shannon: i mean, it is astounding and something as americans we should all celebrate and thank everybody involved with it, regardless of party, ideology or anything else. somebody who has gone back praising and president trump during the covid outbreak is california governor newsom who found himself in hot water. it seems the signatures to get a recall on the ballot. ric, this is where you spent a lot of your life. this is what senator bernie sanders about why that recall is underweight. he tweeted right wing republicans are trying to recall the governor for crime of telling people to wear a mask and listening to scientists during covid. extremist republicans have done enough to undermine democracy already. we must unite to repose the recall in california, ric. >> ric: bernie sanders, if you talk to bernie sanders supporters in california who all signed the petition to recall gavin newsom. from people who have checked the box and declined to state their party or democrats or republicans or independents. this is about basic mismanagement and in california. i was having dinner with a couple of women in california who have been working on this recall since last summer before any of the media were paying attention. this is not just about covid. this is about mismanagement of the greatest state of the union. we live on the ocean, and yet, we are telling people not to water their grass. we have rolling blackouts in california. think about that. i could go down the list of the homeless problem in california. this is basic mismanagement. i think you can elect a politician to run some other states that are smaller. you can't elect someone to run the great state of california, literally, all about identity politics and divisive politics and pure politics no matter where it is found. so nobody is surprised that gavin newsom crowd is talking about who signs this and that it's a right wing conspiracy. tell that to the bernie sanders supporters who have been signing petitions. >> shannon: well, they say they are well past the signatures they need but got the buffer so they can have signatures. some people don't want to check signatures. they will do it on this recall though and we will watch closely. map and ric, thank you very much. >> thank you, shannon. >> shannon: as the scandals piled up for new york governor andrew cuomo, the love affair with him the democrat is pulling off. media and all this joe concha is starting to look like a nasty breakup 'cause i do things a little differently. hey, i'll take one, please! wait, this isn't a hot-dog stand?
