Governor Andrew Cuomo will address the people of New York State at 11:45 AM

[George II]

[True Dough]

1. He's preparing

for a presidential run. I can sense it.


EDIT: I will add for those who don't immediately catch on.

[hookaleft]

2. He is going to resign........

that is what I think.

[calguy]

6. That's what I think too

He'll deny everything, but will say he's resigning for "the good of the state ".
He's no dummy, and he can see he's at the end of the road.
Such a sad ending to an otherwise brilliant political career.

Reminds me of and old saying,
"God created man with a brain and a penis, but he only gave him enough blood to operate one at a time."

[Treefrog]

16. He should, but I doubt it.

I hope you’re right.

[brooklynite]

29. Not even close...

He's sorry for offending people but investigation was biased.

[Johnny2X2X]

3. Idiot!

He's going to steal the media thunder by resigning from the bipartisan infrastructure deal being voted on now.

[rso]

7. RSO

Maybe, but the real thunder will take place once the House passes it as well and Biden signs it.

[padah513]

8. That sound plausible

[Me.]

4. And This Is Why WE Have To Stop Calling For Dems To Resign

before the complete story is told and then we should make our judgment

[WhiskeyGrinder]

5. What more would you like to hear?

[Me.]

11. Well For One

Why one of the women who made a claim against him wasn't even there the day she said she was and when it supposedly happened

the footnote that said there were many higher level people and security who said they never saw anything happen filled out

and the fact that the 179 witnesses claimed was scanty and didn't say what they saw

and Lindsay Boylen is, to my mind, not a credible witness

Look, I'm no Cuomo fan and think he has continually big footed NYC in ways he had no business doing and thought he should have butted out but listening to his attorney this is no open and shut case as has been presented. People have been eager to call him out on this because he has has been and is a jerk.

[Kaleva]

13. Is your info from the 165 page report released by the NY AG?

[Me.]

15. No

It is from listening to his attorney this morning, going through it step by step.

[Kaleva]

18. The lawyer who supposedly said "He did not mean to grope her."?

[Treefrog]

26. Lol.

This.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

17. AG Letitia James said in her report that Cuomo broke state and federal laws through his actions.

Sexual harassment/assault claims are rarely "perfect." People are genuinely terrible about remembering all the details all the time, particularly during stressful or traumatic experiences.

[SCantiGOP]

19. Why would Democrats

in a Democratic state, conspire to run an innocent person out of office?

[Me.]

27. I Said If

and should't we wait until the impeachment hearing before the final judgment is made

[George II]

33. The report released last week was one of the most one-sided thing I've seen in a long time.

[Me.]

35. What I'm Saying Is

Let the whole story be told then decide but looks like that won't happen because he is currently resigning

[CTyankee]

9. Then we get called out for not "believing women."

Somehow this whole thing got twisted and twisted...

[Me.]

12. Yes It Has

and if it turns out that there has been funny business going on here to one degree or another, it just makes it harder for women who truly need support.

[George II]

24. I find it odd that most, if not all, of the accusers have related political connections. That's all.

[Treefrog]

28. Well, they all work for the government.

Doesn’t seem too odd to me.

[Botany]

14. I was for giving the people of New York the time and the materials to do an investigation into ...

... the Governor and they did that and now it is time for Andrew to go.

[C_U_L8R]

20. Awful timing

History is being made in the Senate. Cuomo needs to find a better time.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

21. Lollllll "there's a difference between improper conduct and sexual harassment."

What an absolute tool.

[Lancero]

23. Wonder what side of the line jamming your hand under a womens blouse and groping her falls under?

Or is that a ol timey way to say hello?

[Me.]

31. A ccording To HIs Attorney This MOrning That Never Happened

and that the woman who claimed it had wasn't even there the day she said she was

[Lancero]

22. Not even five minutes in to his statement...

Women are easily offended, no ill intent, blah blah blah. Lot of MRA bullshit.

[tishaLA]

25. He championed #MeToo and had no idea

where the line is for appropriate behavior in the workplace? It's not that tough.

[Treefrog]

32. His defense seems to be, " yeah, I did all this stuff, but in my mind there was nothing wrong with

it.”

I used to like this guy. What the hell is wrong with him?

[tishaLA]

30. "I just wasn't thinking. It was totally thoughtless"

He's mounting an interesting defense here.

[George II]

34. He's resigning, dammit.
