New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is in deep doo-doo between the recent accusations of sexual harrassment and his disastrous decision to send COVID patients to nursing homes it’s hard to see how he could recover.
Many Democrats are calling for Cuomo to step down including New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio who has spoken out against the governor causing the two politicians to be involved in a very public feud.
The feud between two of New York’s most prominent leaders is escalating as New York City Mayor Bill De Blasio’s press secretary suggested that the governor was criticizing her boss to vindicate himself in his ongoing sexual harassment scandal.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo implied during his Wednesday press conference that De Blasio was responsible for his city “teetering” with rising homelessness, crime, and people leaving.
“We have to get New York City functional again, and safe again, and viable again, and we have to do that quickly,” he said. “We have a new mayor that’s going to be selected basically in June … and that work has to start right away.”
In response, De Blasio’s press secretary, Avery Cohen, suggested that Cuomo was trying to distract from his own scandal. “Attacking the Mayor’s leadership as a means to vindicate yourself of serious sexual misconduct allegations is really something else,” Cohen tweeted.
De Blasio had previously suggested that Cuomo resign especially if he is guilty of the sexually inappropriate behavior he is being accused of.
