Progressive and moderate Democrats call for the New York governor to step down as more women come forward.
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo denied mounting sexual harassment allegations and maintained his ability to lead as New York politicians called for him to step down after at least six women accused him of inappropriate behaviour. “What is alleged, did not happen,” Cuomo said during a news conference on Friday afternoon. “I’ve not had a sexual relationship that was inappropriate, period.” Along with an allegation that the governor groped a female aide at the Executive Mansion last year, Cuomo is facing allegations of sexually suggestive remarks and behaviour towards women, including female aides.
