New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Wednesday rejected calls for his resignation in the face of sexual harassment allegations that have threatened his hold on power and damaged his national political standing.

The Democrat, speaking somberly in his first public appearance since three women accused him of inappropriate touching and offensive remarks, apologized and said that he "learned an important lesson" about his behaviour around women.

Both women rejected Cuomo's latest apology, doubling down on their disgust after he issued a statement Sunday attempting to excuse his behaviour as his way of being "playful." Two of the women accusing Cuomo worked in his administration. The other was a guest at a wedding that he officiated. Cuomo didn't answer directly when asked by a reporter if he could assure the public that there were no other former aides who would come forward.

"We are confident that they made him aware of her complaint and we fully expect that the Attorney General's investigation will demonstrate that Cuomo administration officials failed to act on Ms. Bennett's serious allegations or to ensure that corrective measures were taken, in violation of their legal requirements," Katz said.

Canadian Police get away with sexual harassment, eh ? Suspended with pay is the Canadian way.

Where’s the cancel culture police? Oh wait, Democrats don’t follow their rules.

Trump stayed in office for 4 years when he should have been put in jail for the same thing. Now he's funding a smear campaign to put his own governed in to pardon his crimes.

Cuomo’s scandals make Ontario’s media and politicians look half decent by comparison. And like, I was in the middle of a Liberal civil war caused by Trudeau breaking his promise on open nominations and all of the mess surrounding it.

Same guy would cancel someone for the same thing. These type of people are fake as f*ck.

It's all in the timing, see? The stories are true. The question is what money was involved in precipitating the timing.
