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.

Cuomo is embarrassed that people found his sexual predation problematic.

Exactly that. Cuomo is going to yell from the mountaintops that he said inappropriate things and get everyone talking about that if it helps avoid the discussion of his culpability for the deaths of seniors due to his policy forcing nursing homes to accept known-infected patients.

Thousands - if not tens of thousands - of cases of criminally negligent homicide await. Just need an enterprising young prosecutor to take up the case and file charges.

Cuomo says wait for the AG review and begs people to wait for the whitewashed report.

Finally getting to the sexual harassment. Apologizing for perceptions. “I never touched anyone inappropriately”. So he’s calling that woman who kissed her a liar and I guess the rest of us for believing the picture of him trying to kiss that other girl.

1st press question, should you step aside? 2nd question, is touching the faces inappropriate.

It’s not his fault that sexual predation is a custom of his.

The “reporter” gave him an out mentioning the pictures, saying all the recent pictures of that he’s kissed and hugged through the years, etc, which of course he’s using as just the way his personality is and his father was, as if his advances were just kind of grandfatherly expressions but that he’s learned his lesson.

No one is mentioning the fact that he asked the one girl if she’s ever had sex with an older man.

I’m sure the best democrat PR firm is on the job and Cuomos comments have already been focus group tested.

No wonder he hasn't mentioned the strip poker comments.

These questions were terrible. Last one: “Did you take the sexual harassment training that the rest of NY govt officials are required to take?”, “Yes”

And then the other question to the DeRosa woman (I think she’s the one who made the public admission about him fudging the murder spree #’s) about what she thinks of it all and she gives the campaign line about how wonderful Cuomo is for women.

These were the most softball questions that you could have ever gotten. The picture of him grabbing that terrified girl before trying to kiss her went unmentioned, nothing about him telling that young pretty journalist that she had to “eat the whole sausage”, nothing about how he asked that other girl if she’d ever had sex with an older man. These are supposed to be passed off in the same vein as harmless expressions of affection to men or women of any age. A total lie. It’s like these jounos knew that he was going to hold on and didn’t want to lose their access.

it’ll probably be the typical demhole ‘apology’:

i’m sorry you’re too stupid to realize i’m innocent

If Bidet wanted to bring the country together he could sponsor a nationwide television event:

Cuomo in the arena with a lion.

Cuomo could give one of his lengthy speeches from the center of the arena, then Bidet could do the “thumbs down” thing, and then the lion gets to have a great meal.
