 Joe Biden called on Gov. Andrew Cuomo to resign Tuesday afternoon, following in the footsteps of other high-profile Democrats.
‘I think he should resign,’ Biden said, after telling reporters that he stood by his previous statement that if the investigation found accusations of sexual harassment against Cuomo were credible the New York Democrat should step aside.
The president answered, ‘let’s take one thing at a time here,’ when asked if Cuomo should be impeached and removed from office.
Cuomo has refused to resign and is contesting a damning report from AG Letitia James that found he did sexually harass 11 women, claiming it omits facts and is a political attack on him despite growing calls to step down and the increasing likelihood of impeachment.
Biden remarked that some of Cuomo’s ’embraces’ that were ‘totally innocent.’
‘But apparently the attorney general decided that there were things that weren’t,’ the president said.
Cuomo had used a visual of Biden in his slideshow of touchy-feely behavior, explaining it away as it being just how he is.
