Andrew Cuomo publicly addressed the sexual harassment allegations against him after days of silence on the matter. During a press briefing Tuesday, he apologized for any pain he\u2019s caused and promised to do better.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Asked if <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NYGovCuomo?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@NYGovCuomo<\/a> should resume daily briefings while more harassment allegations surface, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NYCMayor?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@NYCMayor<\/a> says \u201cAll leaders have to answer tough questions from the media regardless of whether it is convenient.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 CaitlinSinclairTV (@CSinclairtv) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CSinclairtv\/status\/1366777023709007880?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 2, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>His comments came after three women accused the Democrat of unwanted kissing, touching and making inappropriate comments. Cuomo later seemed to back-pedal from his initial statement when stated that he kisses people as a form of greeting. He added, he didn\u2019t believe anyone was offended by it at the time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI now understand that I acted in a way that made people feel uncomfortable,\u201d stated the New York governor. \u201cIt was unintentional and I truly and deeply apologize for it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cuomo went on to urge the importance of due process.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI ask the people of the state to wait for the facts,\u201d he continued. \u201cMake the decision when you have the facts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In a statement released earlier this week, Cuomo seemed to downplay his actions by saying they were intended to be \u201cfun\u201d and \u201cplayful.\u201d Many have since criticized his remarks while pointing out that he has refused to take responsibility of his \u201cpredatory behavior.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite mounting pressure to resign, Cuomo confirmed during Wednesday\u2019s press briefings that he will not step down as governor.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/youtube-strikes-again-giuliani-corrects-record\/\">YouTube Strikes Again: Giuliani Corrects Record<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this image taken from video from the Office of the NY Governor, New York Gov.
