At 165 pages, the report substantiated the claims in devastating detail and concluded that he and his top aides created a “toxic” workplace that enabled him to mistreat women
“I BELIEVE WOMEN, and I believe these 11 women,” Letitia James, New York’s attorney-general, said on August 3rd as she unveiled her much-anticipated report into the many accusations of sexual harassment against Andrew Cuomo, the state’s governor. At 165 pages, it substantiated the claims in devastating detail and concluded that Mr Cuomo and his top aides created a “toxic” workplace that enabled him to mistreat women.
Mr Cuomo had previously denied any improper behaviour and said he intended to run for a fourth term. As the report touched off a furore, his response was grimly in character: he released a pre-taped 14-minute denial. He maintained he never touched anyone inappropriately. “It is not who I am,” Mr Cuomo says. In the video, as a photograph of his mother hugging him flashes across the screen, he suggests he was raised to be a hugger and to kiss people on the forehead.
“It was one of the most appalling, sleazy, manipulative and generally disgusting political exercises I've ever seen,” says John Kaerny, of Reinvent Albany, a government watchdog, of Mr Cuomo’s response. But he adds that it shows “he clearly does not intend to step down.” If Mr Heastie allows impeachment proceedings to begin, they could happen very quickly. Democrats have a super-majority in the state legislature, and state Republicans cannot wait to see the back of the governor. One possible hold-up is that the lawmakers are a little rusty in the proceedings—the last impeachment was more than a century ago.
