New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) defiantly rebuffed calls for his resignation as more women have come forward with sexual harassment allegations against him, saying Sunday “there is no way” he will step down, CBS News reports.
Said Cuomo: “I was elected by the people of the state, not by politicians. I’m not going to resign because of allegations. The premise of resigning because of allegations is actually anti-democratic.”
