Andrew Cuomo. Sex Pest and COVID murderer.
That’s how history will remember the embattled governor of New York.
On Tuesday, New York Attorney General Letitia James, a Democrat, released her findings from an investigation into Cuomo’s alleged sexual harassment while holding multiple positions in state and federal government.
James’ findings determined that Cuomo, as governor, sexually harassed current and former state employees, breaking multiple federal and state crimes.
The investigation found that the governor specifically “sexually harassed current and former New York State employees by engaging in unwelcome and nonconsensual touching and making numerous offensive comments of a suggestive and sexual nature that created a hostile work environment for women.”
The AG continued to announce that all notes, interviews, and contemporaneous evidence will be made available to the public shortly, adding to Cuomo’s embarrassment.

The evidence determined something very disturbing about the New York governor: his harassment centered around several female employees of state government, many of them much, much younger than him.
The harassment included “unwanted groping, kisses, hugging, and by making inappropriate comments.”
The investigation determined that Cuomo and his senior team, on at least one occasion, actively worked to retaliate against a former employee after she stepped forward.
Cuomo’s administration, James said, “fostered a toxic workplace that enabled harassment and created a hostile work environment where staffers did not feel comfortable coming forward with complaints about sexual harassment due to a climate of fear.”
Based on James’ findings, Cuomo could now face a series of criminal charges, but no plan to arrest the failed governor has been announced.
However, Cuomo is facing a cacophony of voices from former allies demanding his resignation, including Joe Biden.
The governor vowed never to resign, vehemently defending his actions despite the massive evidence against him.
