In reply to the discussion: DU Poll: Should Gov. Cuomo resign? [View all]hamsterjill
(15,515 posts)37. I don't want him to resign.
I want a full investigation which, as an American citizen, is his right. Im sick to death of this whole issue.
Im sick that women feel they have to wait years to come forward because they fear retaliation, and Im sick that some have cried wolf and thus made real victims subject to suspicion.
But something about all of this just smells bad to me. Some of what these women have complained of was not considered bad behavior at the time it happened. Does that make it right? No...but social rules change and need to be part of the discussion.
Let the investigation proceed and give Andrew his basic rights.

I don't think anyone said the women don't matter. That's why there should be an investigation....
