1. Governor Kathy Hochul.

[Walleye]

2. Whew.

[Goonch]

3. ;-{)

21. Sad!

Democratic party politicians always get the ax. Republican party politicians are never removed from office for the same type of situations. Talk about a double standard.......

[hlthe2b]

4. The entire situation is pathetically sad but this is the only way this could end.

If only this would have a deterrence factor for other men in the future.... But Cuomo had plenty of examples that should have informed his own (mis)behavior. sigh...

[msfiddlestix]

7. agree. sad and pathetic. (sigh) n/t

[Earth-shine]

5. Cut his f*cking mic, already!

[Treefrog]

6. Good.

About time.

[Takket]

8. "Both parties are the same"

Drumpf and cuomo. Both treated the same by their parties

9. What was the point of sending his attorney out first to deny he did anything...

and to question the accusers motives, if he was going to follow that up with a resignation. ?

[yardwork]

12. Because it didn't work.

[ripcord]

13. That was a pure legal statement

If was the beginning of his legal defense since one of his accusers has filed a complaint.

[Drunken Irishman]

14. Because he still could face a civil tial.

Best to work to shape public opinion and the narrative as best you can if that's going to happen.

Not saying it's the morally right thing to do but I get it.

[Lancero]

15. He thought smearing all the women involved would salvage his rep.

Sexists like him can never admit to being wrong, no, the women speaking out against him have to have some sort of ulterior motive.

He's not resigning, because he knows what he did was wrong. He's resigning for political purposes.

[qazplm135]

16. Still facing criminal risk

So I'm guessing this was designed to provide no admissions for that while still resigning.

[herding cats]

19. He's now defending his criminal and civil cases.

That's what his speech was aimed at, also.

[herding cats]

10. The expression on his face when he started his speech made me suspicious he would.

The arrogance was missing in his posture and expression.

[underpants]

11. Good.

Two weeks notice.

[Pachamama]

17. It should be effective immediately

[Klaralven]

18. Took to long to say "I screwed up; I resign."

But we may not have to hear his whiny voice so much again.

20. President Richard M. Nixon, Aug. 8, 1974:

[lindysalsagal]

22. NY state schools are celebrating. He's been effing around with the budgets for years.

Now, they'll know how to budget, without him playing money games.

[Vinca]

23. Good. He's been dragging this out too long.

[Shanti Shanti Shanti]

24. He's resigning, but still denying the accusations while heading out the door, lol, buh bye
