Cuomo during the coronavirus pandemic, including a rule requiring restaurants to serve food to any patrons ordering alcoholic beverages.
Cayuga County Democratic Chairman Ian Phillips is calling on Gov. Andrew Cuomo to resign after three women, including two former aides, accused him of sexual harassment.Â
Phillips appears to be the first New York county Democratic chair to join others, including Democratic and Republican state lawmakers, in urging Cuomo to step down. If the governor doesn t resign, he thinks the state Legislature should begin impeachment proceedings. The multiple disturbing reports of sexual harassment in recent days are the latest in a string of unacceptable behavior from the governor, Phillips said. His explanation attempting to blame these disturbing comments on misunderstood jokes serves to further underscore that he is unfit to lead. Â
