Chinanews.com, March 8th. According to a report by the American Chinese website, on the 7th local time, New York Governor Cuomo, who was deeply involved in a sexual harassment scandal, once again vowed that he "will never" resign, saying that the call for him to resign was all based on political purpose.
On the 7th, New York State Senate Majority Leader Stewart Cousins called on Cuomo to resign.
"New York is still in the pandemic and is still facing the social, health and economic impacts that follow. We cannot be distracted. For the benefit of New York State, Governor Cuomo must resign," Stuart Cousins said in a statement "We have received allegations of sexual harassment, toxic work environment, lack of credibility in nursing home data, and questioning the construction of large infrastructure projects."
New York State House of Representatives Carl Hissty subsequently issued a statement saying that he and Stuart Cousins had the same views on "whether the governor is capable of continuing to lead the state."
Hesty said: "We have many challenges to solve, and I think it's time for the governor to seriously consider whether he can effectively meet the needs of the people of New York."
Cuomo said: "I was elected by the people of New York State. I was not elected by politicians." "I will not resign because of these accusations." He said that he would continue to govern and lead New York State through. The new crown crisis has embarked on the road to economic recovery.
Cuomo also said that it is "too bad" to make public allegations before they know whether the allegations are credible.
According to reports, as of now, four Cuomo’s former female assistants have accused him of sexual harassment, and a woman who is not his assistant has also filed allegations.
Cuomo has publicly apologized for the first time since the sexual harassment scandal was fermented on the 3rd.
He said he felt sorry if he made others feel uncomfortable, but refused to admit that he had inappropriate contact with others.
At the same time, Cuomo also said that he refused to resign and asked New Yorkers to wait patiently for the results of the New York State Attorney General's investigation before making a judgment.
He once again vowed to fully cooperate with the investigation and expressed his "full" support for women's right to stand up against sexual harassment.
