12 March 2021: Governor Cuomo Blames "Cancel Culture" for Calls for His Resignation over Sexual Harassment

Cuomo decries "cancel culture" after group of New York lawmakers calls for his resignation

There are two things that are remarkable in this story. First, that Governor Cuomo would cite 'cancel culture' as being behind the calls for his resignation or impeachment. Second, that Salon still exists. In the excerpt below, they describe his Friday, 12 March press conference after reporters kept pushing questions about the sexual harassment allegations:

Cuomo, for his part, remained defiant at a press conference on Friday.

"There are facts and then there are opinions. And I've always separated the two," he said, refusing to resign. "Politicians who don't know a single fact, but yet form a conclusion and an opinion, are in my opinion reckless and dangerous. The people of New York should not have confidence in a politician who takes a position without knowing any facts or substance. That, my friends, is politics at its worst."

He then lashed out at the so-called cancel culture.

"People know the difference between playing politics, bowing to cancel culture, and the truth," Cuomo said.

We wonder if he ever asked former disgraced New York Governor Eliot Spitzer about how he felt about cancel culture when Andrew Cuomo led its charge and forced him to resign.
