In an <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/therecount\/status\/1371091087578783745\">interview<\/a>, the top Democrat said the governor should \u201clook inside his heart to decide if he can still govern New York effectively amid the ongoing allegations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pelosi added, she thinks residents should wait until the investigation is wrapped up to help determine if Cuomo\u2019s still fit for the job. Her comments came after more than 50 state lawmakers, including a majority of House Democrats in New York\u2019s and several of the states top Democrats, urged the governor to resign.<\/p>\n<p>New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio also c<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FaceTheNation\/status\/1371112192490242048\">alled out Cuomo on Sunday<\/a>. He said the sexual assault allegations along with the nursing home scandal have ruined his credibility. The mayor believes Cuomo will try to hold his position as long as possible, which could lead to a potential impeachment trial.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo I think an impeachment proceeding will begin and I think he will be impeached,\u201d stated the mayor. \u201cHe should resign right now because he\u2019s holding up our effort to fight COVID..he\u2019s literally in the way of us saving lives right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite the growing calls for his removal, the embattled governor has refused to step down and bow to cancel culture. \u201cI\u2019m not going to resign,\u201d he stated. \u201cI was not elected by the politicians, I was elected by the people.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Cuomo: &#8220;People know the difference between playing politics, bowing to cancel culture and the truth.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>They sure do.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Jessica Bakeman (@jessicabakeman) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jessicabakeman\/status\/1370437293522161671?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 12, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Reporter Jessica Bakeman became the seventh woman to come forward last week.
