FILE - In this June 2, 2014, file photo, U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer, left, D-N.Y., speaks with New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, right, during a press conference in New York. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has avoided public appearances for days as some members of his own party call for him to resign over sexual harassment allegations.
ALBANY, N.Y. — Besieged by sexual harassment allegations, a somber New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo apologized Wednesday, saying he “learned an important lesson” about his own behavior around women, but he said he intended to remain in office. “I now understand that I acted in a way that made people feel uncomfortable,” Cuomo said at a Wednesday press conference. “It was unintentional and I truly and deeply apologize for it.”
Cuomo said he will “fully cooperate” with the state attorney general’s investigation into sexual harassment allegations. Attorney General Letitia James is in the process of selecting an outside law firm to conduct an investigation into the allegations and produce a report that will be made publicly.Cuomo had avoided public appearances for days as some fellow Democrats call for him to resign.
He hadn’t spoken publicly since giving New York Attorney General Letitia James a referral to investigate claims that he sexually harassed at least two women in his administration.
There comomg out of the woodwork what a setup don't give in gov we are backing you
If he is truly embarrassed good for him, Trump stood up and told everyone how proud he was he could “grab pussy”, “commit adultery”, pay off porn stars and rape women without ever having to have any consequence
I really dont want to hear shit about sexual harassment , not when these terrorists Republicans elected a pussy grabbing , whore paying , rapist , terrorist racist for president , should we over look this guys so called Improprieties right now ? Yes !! Were at war !
Let’s not forget that in addition to these sexual harassment claims, there are also allegations that he was a bully who threw his weight around people & the whole nursing home scandal which set all this in motion. Cuomo needs to save what little grace he has & leave.
Good for him👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Good. A compelling case has not been made. No reason to resign. An investigation will be thorough- let it play out.
Just get with Chelsea Handler. She’s around your age and already openly confessed her lust for him lol
that's my Govnor
Cuomo has lost the moral standing to govern. His authority and actions will be questioned every time. But he is a good example to show Dem. Party has bad politicians as the other.
Glad he is embarrassed. LEAVE OFFICE IMMEDIATELY
PERCEIVED PURSUITS vs Aggressive ADVANCES ....p——y grabbing, etc. Cuomo STAY in office. Timing appears to be related to Trump Mob connections.
spoken like a true red neck
Can he just get impeached already?
Perhaps it’s not his decision to make.
This is being done by Trump for whataboutism purposes. We're not all stupid.
cuantas no tiene Trump y lo elijieron Presidente de loe E.U.
shocking inovernewswateriswet chrishasnocomment ChrisCuomo NYGovCuomo
If it was a Republican official, the media would be allllll over this.
If he was a Republican he would be in jail.
Andrew Cuomo!!!!!!!! Don’t you quit!!!!!
He should resign now. What he is apologizing for is enough to leave office or step aside until the investigation is completed. I wish anyone who wins office must now take a polygraph test before assuming office, so that we never have to go through this again.
Considering Trump continued with more allegations against him. This does not seem to be a disqualification factor in today’s politics.
As a strong Democrat, I think he should stay. These allegations are false. Just the GOP throwing mud at him as usual.
Should he be censured? If he did it, sure. But he should only resign when Republicans resign over this shit. Tired of double-standard bullshit in politics.
Lol, “I know now I did the wrong thing by sexually harassing women in the past, but I VOW to continue doing the wrong thing by staying in office!”
NO SPECIAL TREATMENT JUST BECAUSE HE’S A DEMOCRAT. IMPEACH HIM NOW! disgusted endthis MeToo
But ..... he put his hands on a colleagues cheeks at a wedding!!! How can she be expected to pay for the years of psychotherapy it will take to fully recover? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
If these allegations are true, he no longer deserves the right to govern New York City. The inappropriate behavior he is accused of has no place in politics, end of story.
Not one question about why he sent people to their death in nursing homes& covered it all up and blamed everyone else; shameful!
Guy is a bum
Time for an impeachment
Embarrassed? He should be Ashamed!
No...Is there NO one with a moral compass, to be in leadership in America? Wtf?! This country is so lost. Both parties are filled with trash! votetoremovetrash
blue maga blue maga blue maga
TheRealCoryElia Not embarrassed enough, then...
I don't understand straight men. Andrew Cuomo can get a date with any woman he wants. Chelsea Handler begged him for a date. He turned Chelsea down yet hits on younger women he works with. Why?
Oh he’s embarrassed is he? oh well then I guess that makes everything OK! go back to business everybody, nothing to see here.
He's embarrassed, is that the Urkle defense?
Gee, these allegations suddenly come up, calls for Cuomo's resignation, potential Republican Governor gets put in his place, and voila, Trump gets a pardon for any state crimes. Sounds like a pretty common Trump move.
Why not. Trump did.
Let the NY Attorney General do her job and meanwhile, let him do his. NY still has a very long recovery and is not out of the Covid woods yet. If there is continuing proof and witnesses against him, his fate will be set.
Good. He should NOT resign. His statement was genuine, touching and correct. IStandWithCuomo I ❤️ NY
This is just your a average American political figure. Why the outrage
Good heavens, imagine if this was Trump 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. CNN, BBC, MSNBC ET al, the whole left wing would’ve ran mad by now
Difference between GOP and Democrats regarding sexual harassment. Anything goes with GOP?
If she works for you or seems uncomfortable bc she’s your daughter’s age, assume it’s inappropriate and leave her alone 🤦🏾♀️
Wow he's got a lot of nerve going up against the twitter witch trials. I bet he's even saying things like 'innocent until proven guilty' and 'due process', poor sap.
If the GOP have set the bar so low, that a sitting President can incite his supporters to storm the Capitol Hill building and not resign... why in God’s name does anyone think Cuomo will?
It’s not his choice.
Lol good luck dude. You need it

So basically the allegations are true but because he's already governor, he's gonna attempt to not face repercussions
AndrewCuomo ?
Hitler could have just said he was embarrassed by that whole Holocaust thing, and it would have been all good.
you mean he is embarrassed he was not slick enough to not get caught … if he cared he would have never done that shit to begin with lets stop the farce - when people show you who they are fucking believe them the first time
So basically he doesn’t care then and has no shame. Good to know.
Did Trump ever Apologized and Admitted was Wrong like Governor Cuomo is Doing Now?
It’s really not up to him.
Cause New York Deserves Him
Sounds about privileged white male.
cool is anyone surprised or what
