BREAKING: New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo asks state attorney general, top judge to appoint an independent lawyer to investigate sexual harassment allegations against him.

FILE - In this Wednesday, Feb. 24, 2021, file photo, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo speaks during a press conference before the opening of a mass COVID-19 vaccination site in the Queens borough of New York. A former aide’s allegations that Gov. Cuomo subjected her to an unwanted kiss during years of sexual harassment have spurred calls for an investigation — and questions about who might meaningfully conduct one.

It was unclear whether the proposal would appease legislative leaders and other top Democrats who had assailed Cuomo’s initial plan to appoint a retired federal judge to review his workplace conduct. The plan for James and DiFiore, who was appointed to her position by Cuomo, to choose an investigator jointly was met with resistance from James and legislative leaders.

Democratic State Sen. Andrea Stewart-Cousins, the Senate majority leader, said through her spokesperson, “We support the AG and her call for referral.”

I’m not that naïve to believe everything that a woman says is “true”. The calls for Gov. Cuomo to abruptly resign is nothing short of a lynch mob during the [Jim Crow] era. That’s why it’s very important that Como has his day in court as was given to Kavanaugh.

How about we appointment other women who are victims of sexual harassment to be the judge? I volunteer first!

Just leave him alone.

Pants on FIRE!!!! You've been had! Turnabout it fair play....your history.

Democratic mouthpieces on TV and radio are already dismissing Cuomo as a potential 2024 candidate. These are the same people who's lips were glued shut on Bill Clinton and Jeffrey Epstein.

CNN's silence on this matter is disgraceful.

Drove by a farm the other day and out there in the field, standing on a stump, there was NYGovCuomo raping a cow

Gee, I wonder how this will turn out, since Cuomo personally kicked this off.

This is one of the young women who accused him in sexual harassment.. She looks so uncomfortable in those photo.. You can just tell that he touches her like this and makes these faces all time.. It must be exhausting, poor girl.

...and so it begins. The Democrats eat their own! Always taking the high ground which is pretty high considering what we just experienced for the last 4+ yrs with the Republicans!

ap andrewcuomo Doesnt he know about seeking arrangements he needs a sugar baby and to stop trying to pick up his employees they went to college for a career not to hookup with an old man

Until a judge convicts him I stand with dude just off what he’s done for nyc ( if he did somthing wrong then he should be punished ) but not before and I’m shocked how people so fast to believe things this whole thing is getting outta hand

Now do Trump

No man is safe

CNN JakeTapper & NBC ChuckTodd can use their bias platforms at will to attack Minister Louis Farrakhan but are silent on Apartheid Israel, bloody bibi and fellow Jews: Woody Allen, Harvey Weinstein, Jeffery Epstein, Alan Dershowitz, Henry Kissinger, Jeffery Toobin, Matt Lauer

He should’ve resigned after the horrific way he handle the nursing homes that needlessly cost the lives of countless people. This guy is a narcissist.

So this is his excuse for saying to a subordinate: 'You wanna fuck?'

BS! These women are liars! Nothing said before/all of a sudden this BS sexual harassment! This is a setup! How much $$$ are these women getting paid! Not believable! They need to be investigated!

I see nothing wrong here, that bitch looks like a Karen to me

Cuomo Weinstein🤮

Does anybody else feel like Governor Andrew Cuomo is undressing them with his eyes?

While we’re talking about prosecuting New Yorkers for sexual harassment & worse, why stop with Cuomo? Add DonaldTrump & WoodyAllen to the mix. AllenVFarrow NewYorkStateAG

The liberal or mainstream media have mastered the art of taking down one of their own(well performing ones) over much ado about nothing than personalities(under performers) on the other side who have committed clearly indefensible acts.

'Sexual harassment' means aggressive CONTINUOUS pressure or intimidation. If a woman accuse a man of that, was it continuous or was it a one-time suggestion in passing between two consenting adults in private? Blanket accusations JUST to ruin a man's reputation is also illegal.

Why is this sexual harassment getting more coverage than the thousands of seniors he killed? Shame on the media !!

Can you imagine Trump asking for an investigation into himself?

! Women need to just tell men I’m not interested ! Not hard to do ! All women have been approached by Men that they are not interested in ! Or tell them how “ I can report that to Human Resources please stop we are just work mates ok “

What a smoke screen focus on Trump crimes don’t muddy the Trump investigation with the Cuomo latest event ! Wow GOP really knows how to block the Trump investigation ! Trump first then Cuomo !

Does that sound like a guilty guy ?

If this is true and after Trump, Cuomo would be perfect for President in the Republican party. He's everything they dream about.

What about the nurse testimony of MURDERS in the community hospitals.

Resign now!

Resist !! Lock him up !!

Please answer our poll question below 👇🏽

Why would he even flirt with people doesn’t he have a wife! Nasty sick individuals!

Why is this getting more coverage than all of the rape accusations against Dotard and his own admittance to grabbing pussy w/o consent combined? Smdh.

Because it's all bullshit. Let an independent investigation decide; and, for those who wrongly accused him, if there are any, they should be made to ... what?

Might as well do every male trump supporting gop, bc they looked the other way when he actually abused women. now this is a witch hunt.

Why do democrats apologize while republicans scream persecution?

You have to wonder why “they” have turned on Cuomo? “They” didn’t turn on Clinton.

Good! Now trumps turn....

Sure Harvey, oops, Andrew, appoint another democrat law firm. Shame on you. Your Dad would be so disappointed in you 😕

I think it's brave that these incredibly hot woman are willing to put their amazingly hot bodies in the public eye to stop Cuomo from telling the absolute truth about how sexy they are. You go girls!

Oh that’s ok, Cuomos cousin is in the left wing media. Remember folks Democrats can do whatever the hell they want and it’s your fault not theirs.

Therein lies the huge difference with Donald Trump and the GOP cult. At least Governor Cuomo is willing to submit to legal due process unlike Trump and his mob.

Oh wow I can't believe I mean even though he admitted to it I respect him and Mitten and owning up to everything you did that's why I didn't lose respect for him is just sad

Flirtation that's exactly the Epstein wording, who finally jailed after decades exploiting minors with customers like DonaldTrump. AndrewCuomo, resign or UnitedState donors & voters must be considered bipartisan as rotten to the bottom. Defund satanic global Policeman.

If you’re so cool, why don’t you host SNL? (He’s watching)

He has to be investigating for the nursing home, sexual harassment es cortina de humo .

Why Andrew Como is asking anybody to do anything he is not the victim he is the perpetrator he is the murderer and he is the one who has women coming forward about his sexual advances towards them they are the victims

They don’t call him Cum on Cuomo for no reason

He should resign immediately!

Fucking pig

Some clown just said at least she looks better than monica

I have a lot of respect for andrewcuomo ....At least he isn’t a politician hiding, lying or making excuses about his behavior....

Send him to jail!

You know why they want to take him down. They’re afraid he might run for President in the future. Hmmmm

did he say 'I've SAID if (she) weren't my dtr, perhaps I'd be dating her.'

Never happened ( three days ago ), Only ‘ flirtation’ today

Republicans are behind the Accusations, No one is Hip too Republicans, Tactics

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?

I suppose people have forgotten about this. 'Ohio Congressman Jim Jordan has been repeatedly accused of looking away as Richard Strauss, then Ohio State's team physician, sexually abused members of the wrestling team, for which Jordan was an assistant coach'

The woman who accused China Joe of abuse was covered up by the Media and FBI.

Y’all betta leave Andrew alone.. Now everyone’s coming out the woodwork to attack him.. He’s NY tough, he can handle the BS!!

That's right. Cause it's a setup. Don't step down GOVERNOR.

It is weird how silent CNN is on this story. If it were a republican Governor it would be wall to wall coverage asking for his head on a platter. The left wonders why the right hates CNN as much as they hate FOX.

Trump screwed so many women and no one could impeach him, so the gov should be fine.

Excellent. Now, stop convicting him. Politicians like SenGillibrand AOC need to remember everyone is presumed innocent and stay out of it and stop using these women for political gain. I am a rape survivor. I never wanted politicians to interfere. Trust TishJames

Whenever you gain a big reputation, there's others who will want to take you down or use you to climb up in their position. Tis the facts of the world

Women are fucked up People love watching people fall from grace these days. Cancel Culture is frightening I hate the current state of the world we live in. cancelcancelculture

Didn’t the Dems say... believe all women?

That will work.

his golden podium fell apart QUICKLY

The aide was fired for drugs right?

It should be investigated! This is a political hit job!

No way it will be “Independent” NO WAY! Cuomo will manipulate or have a corrupt Judge in charge!

New Yorkers trust Governor Cuomo... He will win reelection

Sad...sad...sad

Cuomo stated back in 2017 that he did not believe in sexual harassment. This is media bias against minority Italians.

Shmuck

Who didn’t see this coming?🤷🏾‍♂️

A run for the ages

I’m wondering how much the GOP’s paid her so they can deflect from tRUMP’s 26 women he sexually assaulted

According to what I have observed, the MeToo movement, everyone presumes everyone on the right guilty and everyone on the left is being railroaded. By all the comments, this still holds true. 🙄 OffTopic sorry

We need Andrew in that position. He's perfect!

These are people that work with him. Which means they once believed in him and his vision for NY... in coming months they’ll be made out to be Republican spies sent in to take down another Democratic politician in a high position of power. 1/2

I was assaulted by a manager named Mat at Goodrich Theater Geneva Il. He got a 3 week suspension and the cops did noting. Once he got back to his job he field me and the head manager got promoted to Orlando.

Though this may look like accountability, NYS law requires the governor to refer himself for investigation. Which is a bit ridiculous.

Fight it Andrew!

That investigator to cuomo

BanCuomosexuality

I am not happy about what's coming out against him, but I can respect the integrity of asking for the AG to handle the investigation.

Ridiculousaccusations. This Man held us all together,told only facts kept us informed+helped, guided States to follow better methods.He is dedicated.This is a real witch hunt. I suspect GOP Trump's crew. Behind all this. To try and discredit Governor Cuomo advance of 2024.

He deserves no mercy!! He’s a monster!!

Good for him

With one person, there could be a misunderstanding. With two, there's another weighing whether to come forward. Ask Harvey.

andrewcuomo just get your brother Fredo ChrisCuomo over at cnn to downplay this. I’m sure you can get Brian “man boobs” Stetler to run over.

Let's not race to judgment! We know Ex Pres would love to see Andrew Cuomo go down.. The independent investigation is a good move and fairer than simply going in for the kill...Geesh

I’ll do the investigation

I'm curious if his little bro is gonna report on this as a neutral party?

I had a boss that grabbed his dick in my face I reported it. And I became the target. I understand why people avoid talking about it. Retribution is terrible.

textbook libel, where tf is the evidence.

sorry I'm busy right now

How much will this retainer be?$$$. Albany is a cesspool.

Same thing R’s did with Kavanaugh....oh, wait.

This is what you do when you are innocent. You call for and submit to an independant investigation. You don't, as the previous guy did, try to block any and all investigations, and pay off your pornstars...

Never trust a politician who acts like he's an Italian tough guy. Real Italian tough guys don't play like that.

Awesome. He has nothing to hide. This is how a leader reacts.

He embraces greedy owners of a questionable industry,nursing homes,and he has a history of sexual harassment.Reminds me of Trump . Trump owned a casino and he harassed women.

Sigh. It's all bullshit.

He does have nipple rings or barbells. Just saying

Something is rotten in NY state, and it’s not NYGovCuomo

I am concerned with NYCMayor attacks on AndrewCuomo before 2nd allegation & allegations of unreported Covid numbers & loud bully on the phone ALL in the same week! Appears to be targeted political attacks on Cuomo's popularity much like attacks on HillaryClinton

I don’t care what this guy has done, after reading about it going on in the White House these last 4 yrs I’m tired of these news stories

Bro is legit a demon rofl

I'm trying to remember the last time I voted for a governor or mayor in a state I lived in? NEVER, regardless of my past or current party affiliation.

Who fuckin cares

Funny how liberals ignore violence against women when it is them perpetrating it. But then again they are okay with psychotic men invading womens sports.

It should be AG James only why include a top judge who is obviously working for Cuomo

Don't Al Franken Gov Cuomo, he's a really good Governor. Let's check into trump and Gym first.

Publicity stunt

Cuomo’s version of asking:

I also have a simillar story Please help rescue me Please revive my dream MuslimBan

Corrupt politicians. andrewcuomo has run NY into the ground just like GavinNewsom action in California. People who can are fleeing these states in the thousands. Only the working poor are stuck there. Newsom is being recalled & hopefully NY will do the same. NNPA_BlackPress

Why does he get to decide?

Resign

Lock him up

twinseamus To be honest, this guy should have been kicked out of his position a long time ago.

Wait till you hear about Trump! Why not hold all the asshole accountable?!?!?!

Because he has integrity

NOW DO TRUMP!

Agree on investigation. However this is right on brand with trumpian modus operandum and the 'vegance' he's been bragging about. 🤔

Ugly Americans.

drosental

Just resign. You’re done.

It should be a Republican-leaning attorney from outside the Northeast to achieve a legitimate outcome. Cuomo should want that...IF he’s innocent of the charges.

Odd considering under his leadership NY has the reproductive health act, workplace harassment protections, policies to reduce maternal mortality & racial disparities. Kind of suspicious timing.....

Why are CNN silent on this important news story

We need someone outside New York to investigate this preferably appointed by the DOJ.

This is the right thing to do. He is innocent until proven otherwise. Allegations are nothing without evidence to back them up.

By independent he means some one who we can pay to make this go away.

Expect that . Your state investigates Donald Trump, kill squat

BurrellTV Ok course he did. The Governor is being pressured from inside & outside the state. Go back to his tweet from 9/24/18 when called for an investigation against Judge Kavanaugh

Really where are progressive representatives, asking questions? Or only they are just big mouth no action common AOC why your big mouth is shut on this?

morgfair Andrew Cuomo is being framed. I don't want men being afraid to ask a girl out on a date or flirt with some one because that's what's happening. Innocent until proven guilty and I just don't believe it. It's orange man that should be investigated.

He does not get to NAME the judge or investigators, that's what the FBI NewYorkFBI is for.

The only man who hasn’t tried to cheat or Harrass is one who hasn’t had the opportunity.

Be nice if they'd investigate the 20+ women that claim trump sexually assaulted them.
