Gov. Andrew Cuomo is expected to hold a news conference on Wednesday that will mark his first public appearance since becoming engulfed in a widening sexual harassment scandal, sources familiar with his plans told The Post.

Cuomo is in the state Capitol in Albany preparing for the briefing, the sources said.

The Post also spotted Health Commissioner Howard Zucker, who has joined Cuomo at his briefings since the COVID-19 pandemic struck last year.

Cuomo last took questions from reporters during an audio-only phone conference call on Feb. 22, two days before a series of women — including two former aides — publicly accused him of sexual harassment.

Maybe Andrew will break the ice with a joke or two.

His ugly mug is a joke. His handling of Covid is a crime.

I hope that local governments will make that call, not murderous Cuomo.

> This will be a zoom meeting and press question must be pre submitted... <

Ah, so it’s really not a press conference at all.

Governor’s aide: “Our first question comes from CNN reporter Chris Cuomo.”
Chris Cuomo: “Governor, you are a great guy. Why do people so unfairly pick on you?”
Andrew Cuomo: “Good question, Mr. Reporter. I really have no idea why people pick on me. Like you said, I’m a great guy.”

Governor’s aide: “Sorry, folks We’re out of time. Have a nice day, everyone.”

Clinton model for Democrats is to never resign and instead spin and control the media.

He’s slobbing Biden for the increase in vaccine supply that he had nothing to do with, trying to shore up his allies to ride it out the murder spree/sexual assault storm.

I guess sex scandals are more important than 1000’s of nursing home deaths.

Prince Andrew doesn’t do a damn thing that could get out of his control. Period.

Yep, he should thank Trump, all 3 vaccines were developed under Trump's watch.

It would be fun to watch a female reporter say “Mr Cuomo, please don’t hit on me, I am here to ask you a news related question”

The only way Cuomo would resign is if he knew there was a smoking gun that would drop on the nursing home decision.

I doubt there is. The truth is bad enough at this point, but he is a massive narcissist who is probably the most arrogant politician in America (Pelosi might be 1b).

Expect him to focus on the sexual harassment claims and avoid discussing his Covid policies. He is a Clintonista. Clinton perfected the slight of hand with a negative narrative.

Maybe Governor Cuodos can book another appointment with Jane Pauley for CBS Sunday Morning so she can coo away to him again about how he was once married into the Kennedy family and how he’s still single.

He'll probably mention that he had his maid throw out the kid's Dr. Seuss books.
