Democrats should not die on this hill.
What he is saying is BS. He has young daughters, how would he feel if his daughters told him this was occurring with their boss.
I've been wondering the same about people here. So you are telling me if your 25 yr old daughter, who is just getting started in her career, gets a job working for the most powerful 63 yr old man in the state, comes home and tells you he is making me uncomfortable with his sexual innuendos, and sexual talk, you would not be livid? Oh really.

From a political standpoint, there's an election next year. He needs to step down and hand the reigns to the Lt Gov so that he is not a distraction in the next election cycle. I can see the ads that the republicans will make about this, the nursing home deaths and anything else he's adjacent to.

I praised him for his pandemic response. I understand that most people are not all bad, or not all good. (With the exception of trump et al)

Aside from what I think about his behavior, for the good of the party he should go. Atty Gen James has far reaching subpoena powers. No telling what is going to shake out from this investigation. His name has been attached to other controversies in the past. I am not accusing him of those things. In an election cycle, all your weaknesses will be attacked. Lets not lose a sure thing with a democrat keeping the governorship or democrats running in NY having to answer questions about Cuomo.
I said in another thread, it was at this point in his career that his dad was beaten by a little known republican senator. Thank you for your service Gov Cuomo, thank you for providing leadership when we desperately needed it. Now please go. Take a break. Then go be a law professor or something.
