NEW YORK (Reuters) — New York Governor Andrew Cuomo resigned on Tuesday following an inquiry that found he sexually harassed 11 women, mounting legal pressure and demands for his departure by President Joe Biden and others, a startling downfall for a man once seen as a possible U.S. presidential contender.
Cuomo, a Democrat who had served since 2011 as governor of the fourth most-populous U.S. state, made the announcement after New York Attorney General Letitia James on Aug. 3 released the results of a five-month independent investigation that concluded he had engaged in conduct that violated U.S. and state laws.
The investigation, detailed in a 168-page report, found that Cuomo groped, kissed or made suggestive comments to women including current and former government workers – one a state trooper – and retaliated against at least one woman who accused him of sexual misconduct. Cuomo denied wrongdoing.
Lieutenant Governor Kathy Hochul, a Democrat from western New York, will take over as governor of the state of more than 19 million people until the end of Cuomo's term in December 2022 as outlined in the state's constitution, becoming the first woman to hold the post.
Cuomo's resignation marks the second time in 13 years that a New York governor has stepped down in scandal, after Eliot Spitzer quit in 2008 over his patronage of prostitutes.
Thanks for posting this. I had no idea it happened.
IS SO INCOMPETENT
THAT HE CALLS ELIOT SPITZER "a New York governor."
Spitzer was never "a New York governor."
Spitzer was NY Attorney General.
Competence is not the name of the game when you're a Soros operative, is it, Jonathan Allen.

See post 4
"Sure you are Fredo. Now come over here and suckle on this nipple ring. It will make you wish you were as smart as the women I wished to suckle"
And Cuomo was AG at the time Gov. Spitzer was being prosecuted and run out of office. The whole fiasco is just dripping with irony.
“Competence” is “Acting White.”
That is right.
Apparently I find Spitzer so disgusting that I blanked that out.
Taint cumo, has a nice ring to it...
Man, I wish Rush was here to comment on all of this.
I can hear his “Fredo” comments now lol!
LOL.
NY state is suffering badly from “Cuomitis”, an infection of the inner workings of government. Victims frequently break out in being taxed to death, having their vote stolen, having their rights curtailed and having to listen to a pack of lies whenever anyone in the NYS government speaks. One citizen reported a clear and lucid sentence uttered by Cuomo, but later discovered, to his great disappointment, it was a fart instead.
