New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said at a news conference Tuesday that if the nursing-home and sexual harassment allegations against New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo are true, "he cannot govern."
De Blasio and Cuomo, both Democrats, have long had a bad relationship. They clashed last summer over the George Floyd protests that broke out in the city; they feuded in April over reopening schools; and The Nation reported that Cuomo "on and off the record" relishes in "trashing de Blasio in the press."
But the recent scandals that have ensnared Cuomo put the one-time possible presidential frontrunner in a desperate situation to try to steady his administration.
Earlier this year, Cuomo's team confirmed thousands more nursing home deaths due to the coronavirus than the state’s previous tally. The change came after a report by state Attorney General Letitia James.
Cuomo now faces allegations of sexual harassment from three former aides, accusations that prompted an inquiry by James’ office and calls for Cuomo to resign. One former aide, Charlotte Bennett, said the governor asked her questions about her sex life, including whether she was monogamous or if she had had sex with older men.
"When I read the account of what Charlotte Bennett went through, I cringed, I just – I had a feeling of like the pain, the terror, she must've been going through. Here's someone who could determine whether she has a job or not, whether she has a career or not, literally suggesting in front of her all sorts of perverse sexual possibilities. And she's alone in a room with him. I mean, think about how grotesque that is," de Blasio told CNN on Monday. He also said at another news conference that the women's allegations "sounded pretty terrifying."

NY, and especially NYC, deserves de Blasio for governor.
Because ruining New York City wasn't enough.
DeBlasio being Governor of NY would be fantastic....the entire state would turn into a giant cesspool not just NYC...
Oh yeah. From the frying pan into the fire.
Blasio....governor....God help us...
Dollars to doughnuts DeBlasio has a few sexual infractions under his belt, too. That usually comes with his kind of arrogance.
New York City Mayor Bill da Blasto..! Yeppers, that’s exactly what New York State needs... He’ll fix it.. When he gets done with it, it’ll never need fixing again..
Yep, all this crap about Cuomo, I was saying the other day what does it matter if they remove him? The morons there will just replace him with someone just as bad and I wouldn’t doubt it in the least if it was DuhBlasio
Killing the elderly is one thing but being rude to a woman? thats where I draw the line
These 2 deserve a PPV cage match.
New Yorkers get the leadership they deserve...
De Blasio run for governor? Well, if Biden can be Prez, I suppose De Blasio can be Guv. Are all Dim politicians in a delusional bubble?
Is it just me? I see some from the uni party, that seem to be on the fringe making a play or going down the toilet. I guess some polaroid’s are involved. For those that have a life and are not paying too much attention: Cuomo, Kitzinger, Newsome and old Creeper Joe. But, I guess Creeper Joe already got installed, to now be erased. Anybody else paying attention? Flake, Sasse…...Cheney? I do imagine some polaroid’s on Liz’s email threats now, but that is just me.
Someone should ask the Kaiser and his frau about that missing 800 mil.
If he was attracted to that thing he married and actually procreated with...hmmmmm.
Then you deserve BiteMe.
BiteMe won, so you must have voted for him, right...?
See where I’m going with this...
Meet the new boss ... Same as the old boss ...
Yeah. She’s one nasty piece of work.
I think even his base in the city would not vote for him again.
