'I now understand that I acted in a way that made people feel uncomfortable.' New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo apologizes amid allegations of sexual harassment, saying he 'will fully cooperate' with attorney general's review.

She accused Cuomo of sexual harassment, alleging he asked questions about her sex life.

He asked her if she thought age made a difference in romantic relationships, whether she was monogamous in her relationships and if she ever had sex with older men. In the end, Bennett said she decided against pushing an investigation because she liked her new job and"wanted to move on.":"I never made advances toward Ms. Bennett nor did I ever intend to act in any way that was inappropriate. The last thing I would ever have wanted was to make her feel any of the things that are being reported."

"To be clear I never inappropriately touched anybody and I never propositioned anybody and I never intended to make anyone feel uncomfortable, but these are allegations that New Yorkers deserve answers to," he said.A billboard urging New York Governor Andrew Cuomo to resign is seen near downtown on March 2, 2021, in Albany, N.Y.

"It's abusive and it scares people because it's terrifying and the governor of New York should not be acting that way," Biaggi said.published an account of alleged misconduct from Ruch. Unlike Boylan and Bennett, she did not work with Cuomo.

If every word or gesture is going to be put under a microscope. What does that say as a society. Are we looking for revenge or justice? Is lose of employment satisfaction. Will we heal those wounds. Is everything going to be touchy feeling's where does it end

I always find it amazing that these strong intelligent women wait to tell about these so called indiscretion. Why now?

I now understand that I acted in a way that made people feel uncomfortable. Wow! What a cool way to say that you sexually harass people

In America, we have some heroes and leaders who are absolute assholes in their personal lives, but have excellent public service records, or sports a acumen. Not many of us can do it all, God knew it, that's why He sent Jesus. Don't fall for the okeydoke, and let trump win this

But as a society, Is apologies enough and if not lost of employment. At what point do individuals become judge,jury D.A. where will it be enough. And what should happen if it's a false claim. Do the Women loose employment, explain?

Did the Women forget the word 'NO'. Or someone touches your face a knee in the groin works at least they got your attention. If it maybe true the woman's bank accounts should be checked in case a interested party made a donation

Investigate don't perpetuate..

Ahhhh and the patented course of action playbook... first vigorously deny, second, when the heat starts to rise say you “may” have unintentionally acted...and third, when accusers start mounting up, come with your hat in hand and “sincerely” apologize.....

Of course, it’s the victim’s fault that they felt uncomfortable.

Delivered in a manner of a true predator; zero remorse and comes off even creepier than the actual offenses apologizing for. reaign CreepyCuomo

Guilty.

Inappropriate, unintentional behaviour is farting in an elevator.

I believe Governor Cuomo

He originally said the first claim was totally false, a fabrication. Now he's apologizing for his behavior.

Cuomo actually 'grabs'm by the pussy' but gets a pass because he's ultra left, government subsidy reliant, still running his city into the ground, modern day gym teacher turned Governor. 🤷‍♂️

Resign molester

Just stop with the fake tears! Nasty old man! Geez Louise!

For such a smart guy, its hard to believe he just now understands he made women feel uncomfortable. Sad shit.

DO NOT LET THE PRESS Control your future do not resign the press is doing the dirty work of trump it’s about taxes it’s about the powerful people it will expose full stop never forget roger stone was behind spritzer’s resignation NYGovCuomo

The man is interested in pretty woman. What's the problem. The right would have a complete meltdown if he were interested in men. I don't condone bad male behavior. But women STOP running up to a megaphone because men like the opposite sex.

man sounds like he's crying towards the end. loI

🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢

I'm no Trump defender but aren't you the guy that called him out for his sexual advances towards women. but yet here you are apologizing for sexual harassment.

This is not revelatory! He behaved badly. He has apologized. He’s not going to resign. AG is going to investigate. Let’s move on. Former guy is facing E. Jean Carroll in court on a rape charge and zero outrage from FoxNews or GOP. Why?

Cuomo needs to be under investigation for the deaths in the nursing homes!!!! With these allegations of harassment he should resign and be prosecuted!!!

Slip slidin away.......

Unlike the other times when women kept telling you stop? Or them not wanting to he alone with you bc of your past encounters? Or when they came forward in 2019 & 2020? NYGovCuomo andrewcuomo

He’s done.

He's off the hook now lets get back to normal

He asked her do you have sex with older men sh** he wanted to know it made her feel uncomfortable the next chick might've said Yup cut the check pop's he had to ask to see if she was with it 🤷

I believe he is sincere, and aware he made mistakes. But its clear that government needs to undertake mandatory sexual harassment training. Addicts like Trump will never change. But training can prevent incidents like this which often end in Women losing in more ways than one.

i will wait for the AG report not gonna make same mistake Trump made by baseless assumptions

Guys a creep just face it. He knew what he was doing. Give me a break

A good first step.

this is terrible news

disappointing for sure. DP

Trading/investing under your management was my turning point. Thank you alice_forex_ ,I was very skeptical. But am very happy I did.

“Close your eyes.” He has highest Covid death rate in the nation. Has multiple sexual harassment accusations against him. It must be Trump, jail him. “Now open your eyes”. It’s Cuomo...let’s give him an award. They are sluts out to destroy him. It’s Trumps fault.

American🇺🇸political power struggle manipulations, utilising the against the Rule of Law: MeToo movement formula to destroy politicians is an expression of the poor standards of the Democrats &Republican politicians.

Wow! What an apology. To gracious Governor. No class. I respected you when you were giving news briefings about your states Corona virus status. That stopped the day I learned you fudged the numbers. Resign.🙏🏼

the funny thing is Cuomo admitted to verbal harassment that alone is admitting guilt but lets see how this plays out stop saying but trump this and that any one who is found needs to pay

QAnon influence at work again?

I got caught doing something everyone knows, including me, we shouldn’t be doing. I’m sorry for getting caught. I’ll do better at not getting caught next time. ResignCuomo

Let's wait until the conclusion of the investigation. Pres. J. Biden went through the same thing a few years ago, and he came through alright.

Sure just resign.

Do you understand where your behavior was wrong?

After trump how could this even be offensive ! Don’t quit

No you are not you just got caught

Now do it for those that died in the nursing homes.

Don’t let them ‘Al Franken’ you Gov... hang in there 👍🏻

People really!! Who are these women they aren’t saints let’s find out what their role is. Why would a man especially a man whose time is spent in a pandemic who as Gov of thousands of people find the time to gussy up to two women who are pawns of sombody to destroy a man.

And the Emmy goes to .....

Narcissism at its best...Please listen Governor Cuomo, You can’t just say you’re sorry for an inappropriate sexual harassment. You were made governor by the people and very soon you’ll be asked to resign by your people! You’re not above the law! Karma 😭

Why is it we let Republicans get away with this behavior but expect Democrats to resign🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

So some women feel uncomfortable and men must pay the ultimate price. This is foolishness. The uniqueness of the male-female relationship dynamic is that the male and or the female must first initiate a response from the opposite gender. The same happens between other animals.

I owe you an apology to ever doubt your sincerity and professionalism. It’s was just like a dream to me when I received my first payment. After my second payment it became a reality now after several payments it has become a way of life. marksust7

I believe him

Interesting that two of Trump’s friends are vying to become Governor of New York. So they can pardon him and his spawn Please cover that part of the story.

Taking responsibly. Thank you, Governor. When will men in the GOP do the same?

I'm really sorry for what the women he made uncomfortable had to endure. I'm much more interested in the deaths that he caused, and underreported.

I need more information.

DO NOT RESIGN! JUST DON’T! WATCH RIGHT WING HEADS EXPLODE!

Is that all? Will nobody investigate This is offensive for the victims. There is no due process!!!!

This is enough Mr. CO.... continue with The good job of you're doing for the New York people 👏🙌👌👍

Governor: Do not resign. Let the process go forward and let’s get the facts. You are entitled to that. This does not smell right.

GEORGE FLOYD COURT MARCH 9TH

Where's the 🍊🟧 orange mandarin Dude's apology or even acknowledgement for his sexual harassment.🖐 He grabs them by the 🐈‍⬛

Cuomo was guilty, no questions! But if it was Trump it would be praised...and totally natural 😌

That's good enough for me, now let the governor get back to work. His policies have proven crucial to protecting New Yorkers during the pandemic, we can't have his leadership interrupted by baseless accusations.

I am sorry. I have learned. I caused harm. I will change....Always the same s**t after they get caught. Get a mirror and resign.

Worst apology ever. Kept saying the same words and phrases over and over. Clinton was more convincing.

If this was trump they'd say... antifa dressed up as trump and assaulted women.

He didn’t even apologize for killing a lot of grandmas and grandpas

And the Press will ignore him and move out! Hypocrisy at its finest!!

Oh so to say you are sorry is to admit gilt. You are a poor excuse for a man. If that's what they call you. I'd say coward myself

Did anyone of you say the same about Trump saying on Access Hollywood about grabbing women by their pussies?

It was a poor Republican ploy to insert their own mark to mitigate the future Trump cases in NY. Trump will see jail.

now tweet some of the women's words. hypocrites.

And he should be fired....

if you show no mercy ye shalt be shown mercy . Jesus said to forgive up to 77 times

I just moved to your city, who wouldn't mind showing me interesting places?

Wow smh 🤦‍♂️

ratio

How about we focus on his undercounting of deaths too? Maybe a quote on that perhaps?

You'll be better when you resign!!

TheView Remember when all dems attacked Cavanaugh? Where are they now ? Such nonsense

TheView It’s not about you Cuomo. You should be apologizing and getting counseling as you resign. Who gives a f—k if you’re embarrassed.

He's so full of himself. He needs to be charged with multiple homicides in nursing home Covid cases

leavecuomoalone

Nightline I like my Governor! I think this is a republican hit job because the Don has to face charges in New York.

Nightline Andrew Cuomo FAKE Tears FAKE Outrage FAKE Person

TIME IS X3 Click Here:- My Book description: All in one volume the time traveling adventures of Scott, Don, Honey and many others, Join them as they visit Lincoln and Ben Franklin, Cleopatra. etc. At last the reason

TheView Don't give up and give in!

TheView Gov N.Y was the consistent voice of reasoning last year during COVID19.Mistakes were made,yes,there were too much confusion.But these women are not clean slates, pure and innocent, they have minds of their own. He has an issue now 'let's fry him'.Go head.

Yeah we understand too! Resign dammit!! Reminds me of Bill Clinton needing clarification on what a sexual relationship is!!😆😅🤣

Thank you governor cuomo, let them investigate!

TheView Thank you for your heartfelt apology. Unfortunately, I think you will be forced to resign in spite of the fact that I believe you are a good Governor. Al Franken had to step aside as well. Society is looking to change inappropriate behavior the workplace and “sorry” doesn’t.

*Non-genitally-mutilated man acts in a normal, healthy, confident manner* Americans: 😱😱😱😱😱😱

The fact that was buried doesn’t show much contrition. How years did this go on? The Left doesn’t see this a miscarriage of justice. It’s a weapon you use to destroy your enemies. When has Schumer and the Left ever apologized for their abuse of it.

TheView No one thinks they are creeping people out except in retrospect.

It is unfortunate but notorious Trump has now set precedent over these actions and many other criminal abuse of power and has been able to walk away unscathed. ..

TheView I am all for the proper investigation and believing the women. And the Facts. But I also never underestimated Trump and what he will do to get what he wants. Besides money and attention he loves revenge. I smell a Trump Revenge on Cuomo.

I love when politicians says « made people uncomfortable » ... sounds like its a bit on them! No sir! You did right or you did wrong! Pick one! Its all on YOU!

Governor Cuomo stay put. Flirting is not a reason to give up your life. If they say you asked for a kiss or you asked to go out and they said no. What is the problem is it because you are the governor? You didn't do anything but flirt. That is what single people do. Stay!

Cuomo is currently hiring new interns in case any of your daughters would like an exciting opportunity to 'serve' in government.

Yeah, cause you’re a geriatric creep.

Guilt or innocence aside, I find the TIMING of this interesting. Why wait until NOW to make accusations? Popular governors of NY & CA are being attacked at the same time. Looks like the GOP is gearing up for next year's election.

“It was a accident.” “I’m not a creep, I’m just stupid!”

TheView

TheView NOT taking a side. He is older than me.(43) My 14 yr old son has WAY different attitudes towards women's rights, LGBTQ, environment, etc than even I do. BETTER VIEWS.And I'm pretty progressive. (CSA survivor, NOT minimizing Cuomo)We NEED to be CONSTANTLY growing as a society.

TheView I'm still shaking my head.

TheView Marc Caputo....

Keep fighting governor, this is a political witch hunt.

To all the Republicans who were defending this man and calling the victims liars. You all should feel ashamed. Very prolife and Christian of you all

Weasel trying to get out of it

Step down. Sorry doesnt fix this.

And the nursing home deaths?

Dude I think you seriously need to think about stepping down. This is a distraction we do not need.

He’s also responsible for a lot of COVID deaths. Then lying about the numbers. Nice guy...

I’m on your side Mr Cuomo!

ANDYASS 'I now understand that I acted like an ass in a way that made people feel uncomfortable.'

This is wordplay and mitigation, not an apology. Saying that he understands he 'acted in a way that made people feel uncomfortable' doesn't preface an apology. He didn't suggest that he did anything wrong, only that others felt that way.

😂😂

this is the guy who blames his farts on the dog

'We used him for what we needed him for (trump bashing and covid deaths) now we must discredit him so he can't grow beyond our control'

I am so sorry that I got caught but I will do it again lol

Men coming onto women in a professional setting and using the excuse that they did not realize they made them feel uncomfortable or pressured is no longer acceptable. You cannot claim ignorance anymore.

At least he is owning up to whatever he did. Unlike Trump who would lie till he dies.
