House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Sunday said the sexual harassment allegations against New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo are “credible.”
The California representative joined a chorus of Democrats calling for a truly independent probe into the accusations of misconduct lodged against Cuomo by two of his former staffers.
“The women who have come forward with serious and credible charges against Governor Cuomo deserve to be heard and to be treated with dignity,” Pelosi said in a statement.
“The independent investigation must have due process and respect for everyone involved.”
The statement came as Cuomo, 63, agreed to let state Attorney General Letitia James appoint an outside investigator into the growing scandal.
His senior adviser Beth Garvey originally said Saturday night that the administration had tapped former federal Judge Barbara Jones to head up an inquiry.
The move quickly drew bipartisan criticism, however, both because Cuomo was trying to dictate his own investigation, and because Jones previously worked with lawyer and key Cuomo advisor Steve Cohen.
As backlash mounted Sunday morning, James requested that the Cuomo administration let her office appoint an independent investigator, as state law prescribes.
The concession from Cuomo came after several New York lawmakers, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-Bronx/Queens), had stressed the importance of an unbiased investigation.
“Lindsey Boylan and Charlotte Bennett’s detailed accounts of sexual harassment by Gov. Cuomo are extremely serious and painful to read,” wrote AOC. “There must be an independent investigation — not one led by an individual selected by the Governor, but by the office of the Attorney General.”

Wow, you had to ask? LOL...FRiend....
Cuomo has a truly evil face. I don’t understand how anyone cannot see it. At least if he goes down, hopefully, people will look at his ugly mug differently than they did when everyone was singing his praises.
Isn’t this regressive? I thought judging the credibility of a woman’s claim was anti-woman. All women are to be believed. Talk of credibility is patriarchal.
There are a couple of guys in Florida who might have known where sfaccimm jr buried the bodies. I wouldn't be surprised to see a few more mini nukes around some rat luminaries.

I don’t think he’s finished.
On the Nursing home deaths and reporting lies,
we know the DoJ is interested, he’s a Dem.
See what married Eric Swalwell did, and he’s sitting on the Intel Committee. His mistress was a Chinese Spy that convinced him to run for President!

Rat fight!
I smell a rat. Deep State politicians can literally get away with murder. It may even enhance their resume. There is something here that they are not telling about. Was James Traficant more corrupt than Maxine Waters?
It’s going to be interesting how the left handles cases like
this now that they don’t have Republicans to blame for anything.
They are in charge now. The buck stops on one of their desks.
Cuomo looks to be in a fairly universally recognized bind
here.
Nancy talking about credible... LOL
Hasn’t her head caved in yet?
Doesn’t matter, really.
If Cuomo gets booted, he’ll just get replaced with an equally odious leftist. It’s New York, after all...
At least he had better hair.
If anyone has any messages to pass on to Jeffrey Epstein, you might want to tell them to Cuomo.
Someone on another thread mentioned it could be Heels Up Harris destroying any competition for 2024. With the NanoNazi joining in, I think that could be a valid observation. After all the “most popular resident ever” might just need all the help he can get, so why not start early and insure no one can challenge him/her.
how bout the ones agaisnt biden nancy?
Who knows, yet.
Clearing the field of viable challengers for someone?
Harris looks like just another potted plant to replace Biden.
Maybe the ruling junta just wants to make sure they can keep on using potted plants, that is, figureheads who wont try to exercise power themselves.
He be Frankened! lol
“All long since pre-planned”
His usefulness has expired.
This is not about the allegations. The real story is why they want him damaged politically. At this point he may or may not survive in office but it will be difficult to run for a higher office.
What about the claims against Biden?
