As dozens of elected officials called for his resignation, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) denied the sexual harassment allegations against him, which were corroborated in a probe led by the state attorney general.
Said Cuomo: “I never touch anyone inappropriately or made inappropriate sexual advances. I am 63 years old. I live my entire adult life in public view. That’s just not who I am.”
State Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie (D) put out a statement that called the details of the investigation “gut-wrenching” and concluded: “We will have more to say in the very near future.”
Meanwhile, all 19 of New York’s Democratic U.S. House members called on Cuomo to resign.
Everything about Cuomo’s statement suggests he thinks he can survive.
