Who are we going to blame for the growing calls for Andrew Cuomo to resign? [View all]

[brooklynite]

Ten House Democrats from New York — including the chairs of the powerful Oversight Committee and Judiciary Committee — issued statements within minutes of each other on Friday calling for New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo to resign in the wake of a sixth sexual harassment allegation.

Why it matters: Pressure for Cuomo to resign is now coming from Congress. 11 of the 19 House Democrats from the New York delegation have now called for his resignation, with the 10 on Friday joining Rep. Kathleen Rice, who called for the governor to step down on March after a third accuser came forward.

The list includes:

House Judiciary chair Jerry Nadler
House Oversight chair Carolyn Maloney
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
Rep. Jamal Bowman
Rep. Mondaire Jones
Rep. Grace Meng
Rep. Yvette Clark
Rep. Adriano Espaillat
Rep. Nydia Velasquez
Rep. Anthony Delgado

Clearly we have to identify a scapegoat who's trying to bring down Cuomo for his or her ambition, and Kirsten Gillibrand isn't available.

Should it be Congressman Nadler?
One of the other members of the House delegation?
Senate Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins?
Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie?
Mayor Bill De Blasio?
City Comptroller Scott Stringer?

The choices seem endless...
