Biden Says Cuomo Should Resign if Harassment Allegations Confirmed:  ‘He’ll Probably End Up Being Prosecuted Too’

From Mediaite, by Reporter Aidan McLaughlin, 16 March 2021, 8:40 pm.

Here is the lede plus two:

President Joe Biden said New York Governor Andrew Cuomo should resign if an investigation confirms the multiple sexual harassment allegations made against him by former aides.

“I know you said you want the investigation to continue,” ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos told Biden in an ABC News interview airing this week.  “If the investigation confirms the claims of the women, should he resign?”

“Yes,” Biden replied.  “I think he’ll probably end up being prosecuted, too.”

It was carefully couched, but it says that Governor Cuomo is in trouble.

We may be looking at Lieutenant Governor Kathy Hochul fleeting up soon.
