29 April 2021: Cuomo Whines About Accusers, Confirms Hasn't Spoken to State AG Yet

Cuomo claims ‘it’s not fair’ accusers have gone public with sexual harassment accusations

Governor Cuomo faced reporters at an event in Buffalo, NY intended to focus on the opening of a "pop-up" vaccination center in the city.

The embattled governor lashed out Thursday, arguing it’s “not fair” that the multiple women accusing him of sexual harassment have shared their stories publicly.

“What has happened is, the complainants have continued to go to the press and make their complaint in the press,” Cuomo said during an appearance in Buffalo. “And I have not been able to respond. That’s not fair and it’s not right.”

Curious. He's the Governor of the State of New York. What could possibly be stopping him from responding to the allegations if he thought that would go well for him?

Cuomo 'eager' to tell his story, but state AG hasn't interviewed him yet

The answer to that question may be in the following story emphasizing a different aspect of Governor Cuomo's responses to reporters' questions at his Buffalo event:

Gov. Andrew Cuomo says he has not been interviewed as part of state Attorney General Tish James’ investigation into allegations that he sexually harassed multiple women, though he added that he is "eager" to tell his side of the story.

James opened a probe into Cuomo earlier this year after several women, including current and former staffers, accused him of harassment and inappropriate behavior. The governor is also under investigation by the state Assembly, which is considering articles of impeachment.

Asked at an event in Buffalo on Thursday if he has spoken with investigators from James' office, Cuomo said: "I have not."

“But I can tell you this — I have tried to be respectful of the process. At the same time it has been very difficult letting people make accusations and not responding, and people have only heard one side of the story. I used to tell people when I was attorney general … when someone came in and said ‘well, I heard this,’ I said, ‘until you hear both sides of the story, you haven’t heard anything.’ People have heard one side of the story. I can’t tell you how eager I am to tell my side of the story and the time will come.”

If that last part sounds familiar, Governor Cuomo has been leaning on telling that story instead of telling his story. If he were truly serious, he would tell his story under oath. Now.
