Phil Murphy (D-N.J.) called for a probe into his New York counterpart Andrew Cuomo over the mounting allegations of sexual misconduct, but he did not condemn him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cListen, as I say, this is deeply troubling, deeply concerning,\u201d Murphy stated. \u201cLet\u2019s let this independent investigation play out, hopefully on an expedited basis [and] see where that comes out. And then see where we go from there.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">New Jersey <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GovMurphy?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@GovMurphy<\/a> on allegations against New York Gov.

However, Murphy refused to say if Cuomo should resign and he refrained from noting if he believed Cuomo\u2019s accusers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd an independent investigation, which all parties appear to have come to the conclusion was the right road forward, I would agree with that,\u201d Murphy added. \u201cAnd I would just say every person, regardless of who they are, who has a concern, has a right to be heard. And that concern has a right to be investigated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Murphy\u2019s remarks came in stark contrast to past Democrat attacks against Republicans who faced similar accusations, but were condemned without an investigation or a trial.<\/p>\n<h4>RELATED:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/two-more-women-accuse-gov-cuomo-of-sexual-harassment\/\">Two More Women Accuse Gov.
