Women's March breaks silence on Cuomo allegations after third accuser steps forward

Women’s March, a feminist group that supports Black Lives Matter’s call to defund police and other progressive initiatives, broke its long silence regarding sexual harassment allegations against New York Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo after a third woman came forward.

"We applaud Attorney General Tish James for vowing to appoint a truly independent counsel to look into claims against the Governor," O’Leary Carmona added. "If they prove true, we call on him to resign immediately." Cuomo has been facing heat from all sides. On Monday, his brother, CNN's Chris Cuomo, acknowledged the elephant in the room at the top of his primetime show, saying he knows "what is going on" with his older sibling, but could not cover it due to his conflict of interest. CNN has given the sexual harassment accusations against Cuomo more attention over the past week, but initially, the liberal network and the governor's brother gave the Democrat's controversies little to no airtime. Previously, the network gave Chris Cuomo free rein to conduct friendly, comical interviews with the governor, who wrote a book about successfully handling the coronavirus pandemic.
