Cuomo Resigns as New York Governor Amid Harassment Claims


New York Governor Andrew Cuomo announced his resignation on Tuesday, bowing to pressure to leave office or face impeachment in the face of multiple sexual-harassment allegations.

Cuomo said in an appearance in New York City that he would leave office in 14 days and Lieutenant Governor Kathy Hochul would take over. He maintained that he didn’t harass anyone but was “thoughtless” in the way he spoke to and touched women on his staff.

The teacher used a similar excuse when he was caught walking out of a store with multiple items of clothing heaped in his arms and wrist watches stuffed in his pockets. He claimed he was simply an 'absent minded professor' who was so lost in thought (thinking of what, a mathematical theory yet unsolved?) Dude, you're a high school English teacher.

The teacher got off scot free. The Principal was given a short probation. Both kept their jobs.

Cuomo will be back, just watch. Politicians, having tasted the filthy lucre, will never relinquish. They may 'step down' but they only shuffle and went a few years before returning to their former glory.
