Cuomo resigns: New York Democrat whom governor promised to 'destroy' calls for nursing home accountability
Fox News
New York State Assemblyman Ron Kim told Fox News on Tuesday that Gov. Andrew Cuomo's resignation should not be the end of his accountability for multiple scandals.
Kim, a liberal Democrat who had endorsed Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., for president and Andrew Yang for mayor, said throughout the past year Cuomo's scandals transcended party politics. "I'm relieved that he stepped down so we can focus on the people's work," Kim said. "I'm grateful for the women who stepped up courageously. I committed in March that after he goes down for sexual assault and harassment, I will still be here to hold him accountable for the thousands of nursing home deaths that happened under his watch. And I plan on still doing that." Kim recalled being threatened by Cuomo last year during a phone call in which the now scandal-plagued governor asked bluntly "are you an honorable man?"More Related News
