Cuomo Defies NY Democratic Chairman, Refuses To Resign
ZH
Despite calls by prominent Democrats to resign – including President Biden, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is digging in his heels, according to New York State Democratic Party Chairman Jay Jacobs – who said he’d previously stood behind the embattled governor throughout a sexual harassment investigation.
Jacobs told Spectrum News that he expects lawmakers will impeach and remove Cuomo, and that Jacobs had been trying to persuade Cuomo to step down since New York Attorney General Letitia James issued her report. That report concluded that Cuomo violated federal and state law in harassing 11 women and creating a hostile work environment. –Bloomberg
Jacobs said he hadn’t planned to make a public statement, but Cuomo’s refusal to resign following a phone call forced his hand.
“I was working very hard to accomplish that and I got to a point I wasn’t making headway,” Jacobs said in a statement to Spectrum. “Now, however, it appears that contrary to what I have advised, the governor may seek to prolong the current situation. I have called the governor this afternoon to inform him of my decision to issue a statement.”
.
“The governor has lost his ability to govern, both practically and morally,” reads Jacobs’ statement. “The party and this state will not be well served by a long, protracted removal process designed only to delay what is now, clearly, inevitable.”

The Liberty Beacon Project is now expanding at a near exponential rate, and for this we are grateful and excited! But we must also be practical. For 7 years we have not asked for any donations, and have built this project with our own funds as we grew. We are now experiencing ever increasing growing pains due to the large number of websites and projects we represent. So we have just installed donation buttons on our websites and ask that you consider this when you visit them. Nothing is too small. We thank you for all your support and your considerations … (TLB)

@Arm Chair Patriot, I was thinking exactly the same thing as far as Cuomo is concerned. He gets completely away with mass murder/genocide based on lies and junk science, but sexual harassment gets all the attention?! Not that I’m condoning sexual harassment, but he has done should be in prison already. Getting kicked out of office doesn’t even come close to what should be happening to him.
Lets not talk about the nursing homes and what he was ordered to do. Lets not talk about mass murder and a treasonous tyrant. Lets talk about his sexual harassment. That is more important than murder. He will be replaced by another compromised puppet. A majority of New Yorker’s have left the intentionally failed state. Corporatism is communism. All that is left is corporate welfare. The Marxist plan works perfectly.
