Several Democratic members of New York’s congressional delegation, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and veteran Rep. Jerry Nadler, joined Friday in calls for Gov. Andrew Cuomo to resign amid a now-half-dozen allegations of sexual misconduct, as well as the lingering nursing home coronavirus scandal.

“This week, the second sexual assault allegation and the sixth harassment allegation was leveled against Governor Cuomo,” said Ocasio-Cortez (D-Bronx/Queens) in a joint statement with Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-Bronx/Westchester), a fellow member of the progressive “Squad.”

“The fact that this latest report was so recent is alarming, and it raises concerns about the present safety and well-being of the administration’s staff,” they continued, also referencing the Cuomo administration’s intentional efforts to obscure the coronavirus death toll in nursing homes.

“As members of the New York delegation to the U.S. House of Representatives, we believe these women, we believe the reporting, we believe the Attorney General, and we believe the fifty-five members of the New York State legislature, including the State Senate Majority Leader, who have concluded that Governor Cuomo can no longer effectively lead in the face of so many challenges.” 

In total, 14 Democratic members of the New York congressional delegation said Cuomo should resign.

Long Island Rep. Kathleen Rice was the first out of the box, saying Cuomo had to go on March 1.

On Friday, 13 other House Dems put out a series of statements at nearly the same time calling on Cuomo to resign amid mounting sexual harassment accusation including AOC, Bowman and Nadler. Also sounding the anti-Cuomo trumpet were Manhattan Reps. Carolyn Maloney and Adriano Espaillat; Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney of the Hudson Valley, who serves as the chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee; Brooklyn Reps. Nydia Velasquez and Yvette Clark; Queens Rep. Grace Meng, Rockland-Westchester Rep. Mondaire Jones, and upstate Reps. Antonio Delgado, as well as Reps. Paul Tonko and Brian Higgins.

Democrats who have not called for Cuomo’s resignation include Brooklyn Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, the powerful chairman of the House Democratic Caucus; Queens Rep. Gregory Meeks, also the Queens Democratic Party chairman; Bronx Rep. Ritchie Torres and Rep. Tom Suozzi of Nassau County.

The most recent accuser, who has not been publicly identified by name, alleges that late last year, Cuomo summoned her to his quarters at the Executive Mansion to fix his cellphone, only to reach under her blouse and grope her, according to the Albany Times Union.

That allegation has been referred to the Albany Police Department.

She is the latest of six women — five of them current or former staffers — to accuse Cuomo of inappropriate comments or physical contact since late February.

The others are Lindsey Boylan, Charlotte Bennett, Anna Ruch, Ana Liss and Karen Hinton, all of whom once worked for Cuomo except Ruch.

“The bravery individuals have shown in coming forward to share their experiences with Governor Cuomo is inspiring, and I stand with them in support,” said Nadler, the dean of New York’s congressional delegation. “The repeated accusations against the Governor, and the manner in which he has responded to them, have made it impossible for him to continue to govern at this point.

“Governor Cuomo has lost the confidence of the people of New York,” continued Nadler. “Governor Cuomo must resign.”

Issuing similar calls on Friday were US Reps. Carolyn Maloney, Grace Meng, Nydia Velazquez, Yvette Clarke and Mondaire Jones. 

Meanwhile, the five Democratic members of Long Island’s delegation to the state Senate — John Brooks, James Gaughran, Todd Kaminsky, Anna Kaplan and Kevin Thomas — called for Cuomo to at least step aside while investigations into the allegations proceed.

“The recent allegations of sexual harassment and misconduct against the Governor are beyond troubling and describe a disturbing pattern of behavior that now also includes a potentially criminal act,” the delegation said in a joint statement. “The gravity of these claims makes it clear to us that the Governor cannot lead the state while faithfully responding to multiple investigations.

“We call on the Governor to step aside at least until such time that the Attorney General’s investigation is complete,” they wrote.

Cuomo faces both a probe by state Attorney General Letitia James and a pending impeachment investigation in the state legislature.

Should he resign, Lieutenant Gov. Kathy Hochul would take over as governor under state law.

Cuomo has apologized to women for making inappropriate workplace remarks, while strongly denying allegations of improper physical contact — and vowing that there is “no way” he would resign.
