NEW YORK, NY - MAY 1: (L to R) U.S. Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY), New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, U.S. Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY), House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and U.S. Rep. Nydia Velazquez (D-NY) look on after Cuomo signed a gun safety bill at John Jay College, May …Drew Angerer/Getty Images KRISTINA WONG3 Aug 2021608 1:44 House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on Tuesday called for New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) to resign after New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) said an investigation showed he sexually harassed and inappropriately touched multiple women.

Pelosi said in a statement:

Under Attorney General Letitia James, a comprehensive and independent investigation into the allegations against Governor Cuomo has been completed.

As always, I commend the women who came forward to speak their truth.

Recognizing his love of New York and the respect for the office he holds, I call upon the Governor to resign.

Pelosi’s statement made her the most powerful Democrat member of Congress to call for him to step down or be impeached. Earlier in the day, a string of progressive lawmakers, local politicians, and pundits called for his resignation or for him to be impeached if he did not resign. Some also called for Cuomo’s brother, CNN anchor Chris Cuomo, to resign.

Republicans are also calling for Cuomo to resign.

Hours after the news broke, President Joe Biden said at a press briefing that he maintained his earlier position that if the allegations against Cuomo were substantiated, he should step down. “Yes,” he said, when asked if he was calling on Cuomo to resign.

However, he stopped short of calling for him to be impeached and removed from office.

“Let’s take one thing at a time here. I think he should resign,” he said.

Another phrase, with all its mutations, that the modern left lifted from Nineteen Eighty-Four.

Let me first to sat that Gov Cuomo needs to dig in and start calling Pelosie and Biden walking zombies that have no real job. Fight fire with fire while burning the DNC down.

Fight them. Burn them. My gosh your the governor of NY. You important and special. Burn both of them. If the DNC stabs you in the back, the talk a lot about voter fraud. Kill each other “politically “ of course.

He’s got the queen bee out for him.

No, it means something is up.

Just gotta figure out what it is.

She’s either out to get him for some reason, or the left has plans for his future that they need him free from being a governor for.

They are clearing the field for somebody. But, who? My bet is on “the wookie”, it would put frank marshall davis jr right back in the saddle. I think frank marshall davis jr is making a bid to be dictator.

Someone in the Deep State Politburo decided the entire Cuomo family must go.

Everything I see these days smacks of the machinations of the Soviet Union, emulated here.

It is a Stalinist airbrushing of the entire Cuomo family from the old photos.

Should read “Under the Democrat in-house investigation by Attorney General and governor-in-waiting Letitia James...”

In the case of Clinton, I recall that the News Media waivered a bit, but few Democrat pols came out for Clinton’s resignation. After Hillary’s statement of support for Bill the subject switched from ‘Resignation’ to ‘impeachment’ and that clarified the stakes for the Democrat Party. They all lined up behind Bill.

This is different. The Democrats have had time to consider their position and Nancy Pelosi — the most powerful Democrat in Congress, if not in the entire Party — has said that Cuomo has to go. Plus you have the legal machinery of NY State under the AG / Gov-in Waiting. Cuomo is in a Box that Clinton was never in.

“Nancy is a low down snake. That must mean Cuomo is even lower than a snake!”

And what’s a lower their snake? Snake-schit.

Yes, that is true. And, the democrats can avoid blame for the killing of the old people in the nursing homes by sacrificing Cuomo. If Andrew has to go, Fredo has to go to, for being a stupid shill.

Resign???

If a guy like me had these accusations leveled against me, I’d have been handcuffed and hauled away to jail by now.

Cuomo may resign (awww...), but then he’ll take a multi-million dollar gig at CNN - probably a show tag-teaming with Fredo.

-- Make sense. Get the Party past this scandal as quickly as possible. --

Or fan it as a useful distraction.

Bill Clinton stands credibly accused of rape, and it didn't hurt him one bit. Pelosi sees personal advantage in attacking Cuomo, but she can turn on a dime. None of them has a whiff of principle.
