BREAKING: N.Y. Gov. Andrew Cuomo acknowledges 'insensitive' behavior was seen as 'unwanted flirtation,' says he will cooperate with sexual harassment investigation.

February 28, 2021 GMT

In a statement released amid mounting criticism from within his own party, the Democrat maintained he had never inappropriately touched or propositioned anyone. But he said he had teased people and made jokes about their personal lives in an attempt to be “playful.” Top Democrats statewide appeared to be abandoning Cuomo in large numbers as he tried to retain some say over who would investigate his workplace conduct.

New York’s two U.S. senators, Charles Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand, both said an independent investigation was essential. Charlotte Bennett, a low-level aide in the governor’s administration until November, told The New York Timesabout her sex life, including whether she ever had sex with older men, and made other comments she interpreted as gauging her interest in an affair.

Resign

Live by the sword, die by the sword.

Dude, just resign?

this is all trump, his payback

Time to fall off your high horse. 🐴

REALLY SHORT of saying... IM GUILTY 🤔

Boy, how the mighty has fallen

All the Leftists be like: 'But Trump blah, blah, blah'. Trump is out of office. But he still lives in your heads rent-free.

And don’t cha come back no more

Karma

aww. what a sweet guy. it only takes another man to tell him that shit's NOT OK for him to understand it's not ok. awww. precious! somebody give the man a gold star

Please resign early.

“Insensitive behavior” = talking up the chicks.

Whatever happened to the big guy's sexual assault of Tara Reid & her detailed accounts of his sexual assault on her IN the US Capitol building?

where is the evidence against Trump he has been accused but that is all Cuomo just admitted to it so no evidence is needed. If there is evidence against Trump he should hang for it but there is not

He is done ladies and gentlemen loud mouth jerk all that hot air

Never admit anything. It can only get worse.

Al Franken 2.0.

This is pretty much the same thing Biden said, so I'm confident that Cuomo will be our president in 16 years or so (if the inevitable Republican resurgence allows for it.)

And how would he feel if his daughters’ bosses were as “playful” as he?

Just resign, and make it easy on yourself

He basically acknowledged that things he said were taken out of context, but many politicians have done that

He's done he admitted it. Men are always trying to see what they can get away with it.

Admition to quilt got to love it.

It’s over, bucko.

“Seen as” unwanted ...🙄 It WAS unwanted. Fixed it for you.

DoughertyJC I always believed good things come to those who wait.

POLITICAL HIT JOB, Istandwithcuomo

Better be an outside investigation not one of his people

Democrats give up waaaay to easily, always

Wtf. Come on. shit! Press charges and make him pay. Geese

I feel sorrow & pity for him.

Cuomo should prove his innocence by taking a lie detector test, to end these accusations

seen as unwanted? jesus christ what a pathetic response!!

That's a new one, 'insensitive' behavior...hmmm

Rapist,murderer,communist dictator 🖕

Well, while it should never have happened and he should’ve admitted it immediately when it was brought up – that’s still more than Donald Trump would offer for his behavior constituting actual rape.

he will be re elected..

He'll be cleared of any serious wrongdoings, for harassment AND the nursing home deaths. He's too popular with his supporters, and there's still plenty of his personal political circle that will help him out and shield him from any serious punishment for either. Just you watch..

In English, he means sexual harassment I think

Someone’s feeling guilty ...

It's not a true apology -- he blames the accuser for 'misinterpreting' and 'made others feel in ways he never indended'. AKA: Sorry you feel the way you do.

SLT229 Insensitive behavior? It was sexual assault!! 🤬

Fine investigate. But please investigate why NY legislators would employ a Bot campaign that posted , not RT , various comments about Cuomo , NH , killer 20X hour .These were not automated bots but programmed. Bots employed for campaign ads but this targeted harassment .

You’re fucked

Why should Cuomo resign if trump didn’t have to resign?

This is ridiculous. There are real criminals roaming free and they are out to get Gov. Cuomo for “ harassment”. Asking dating history in a mutual conversation is NOT harassment.

Only because he got caught....HE SHOULD RESIGN1 now!

just resign

Psst...Hey all you idiot Biden voters.....enjoying that 3 dollar or more gas prices 😂😂😂

I think all Men over 40 may need to take sexual harassment trainings.

Reverse that. Unwanted flirtation is insensitive behavior.

Wait, let’s slow down. It’s not like he killed anyone... wait... never mind.

I consider myself to have liberal/left leaning views. But if this was a Republican who admitted to this with these accusations, Democrats would be calling for his head lol

resign bro

Every time Cuomo opens his mouth, his accusers and their counsel will use his words against him. He should really just keep quiet.

Jesus. The book he probably shoulda wrote was “How to fuck up your career in less than a year”.

Time to resign andrewcuomo

'I am so great!' 'This is awesome cool!' 'Wait, what?'

'We used him for what we needed him for.. now it's time to toss him aside so he doesn't grow powerful'

Dude just resign ffs

He tripped, and sexual harassment words fell out of his mouth.

Hopefully, he'd experience 'insensitive behavior' of his fellow inmates in the near future.

People should always treat ppl with respect ✍🏻 And speak right away if things don’t get fix run away from the place .,. !!!

Admitting a little bit is a sign of guilt

this is already head and shoulders above anything Trump has done in the face of mush worse allegations. GrabThemByThePussy

Completely and utterly disappointing. Not an acceptable excuse. When will men learn women in the workplace are just co workers and it’s not appropriate no matter how well or friendly you think you are with them to discuss any issues that are private except “ How’s the family?”

AndrewCuomo

He's been a dick forever, especially with the willingness to let the GOP take over the state Senate.

The same people that want Cuomo to step down of the same people that disregarded the allegations against Trump. Sad

I don’t want him to get railroaded into resigning before he makes marijuana recreationally legal, however these women deserve to be heard.

“Unwanted flirtation” goodness gracious.

What's funny is conservatives talk about moral relativism and how the left doesn't hold other countries to the same standard as they hold America, but that's exactly what the right does when it comes to their own party. Unaware zombies.

Classic jokes like “Do you like to be with older men?”

So he confesses. Easy peasy.

He needs to resign.

ASS PRESS looks like your hero Cuomo the clown is done

CLASSLESS, SENIOR KILLING P.O.S need to go away now FOREVER

oh Cuomo!

He stilled killed thousands of senior citizens in nursing homes. He should be investigated for ALL the above

This is all 'Political.' They are out to destroy Gov. Cuomo.
