However, he will not be <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/08\/03\/andrew-cuomo-letitia-james-new-york\/\">charged<\/a> by James\u2019s office.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy first thoughts are with the women who were subject to this abhorrent behavior, and their bravery in stepping forward to share their stories. The Attorney General\u2019s detailed and thorough report substantiates many disturbing instances of severe misconduct. Andrew Cuomo committed sexual assault and sexual harassment, and intimidated a whistleblower. It is disqualifying,\u201d de Blasio <a href=\"https:\/\/www1.nyc.gov\/office-of-the-mayor\/news\/540-21\/statement-mayor-de-blasio-release-attorney-general-report\">added<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>De Blasio and Cuomo have feuded since before de Blasio\u2019s mayoral inauguration. As mayor-elect, de Blasio <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2013\/12\/10\/cuomo-de-blasio-at-odds-over-taxes-in-new-york\/\">fought<\/a> Cuomo over a proposed tax hike that the mayor wanted to use to fund universal pre-kindergarten programs, but the governor resisted. During a 2015 blizzard, Cuomo shut down New York City\u2019s subways, with de Blasio <a href=\"https:\/\/observer.com\/2015\/01\/bill-de-blasio-found-out-about-subway-closure-as-it-was-being-announced\/\">learning<\/a> about the move less than an hour before the announcement. <strong>(<a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/07\/27\/bill-de-blasio-new-york-governor-andrew-cuomo-marijuana-legalization\/\">RELATED: \u2018Wake Up\u2019: De Blasio Slams Cuomo On Slow Marijuana Legalization Rollout)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The two continued fighting during the COVID-19 pandemic. When Cuomo threatened to fine New York City hospitals for not vaccinating residents in the order proscribed by the state, de Blasio <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/01\/05\/bill-de-blasio-andrew-cuomo-arrogance-vaccine-fines-hospitals-coronavirus\/\">slammed<\/a> his \u201carrogance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDoes [Cuomo] think that our health care professionals are uninterested in vaccinating people? How about trusting the people who have been our heroes?\u201d De Blasio responded.<\/p>\n<p>De Blasio later suggested that Cuomo covered up the state\u2019s total number of nursing home deaths due to campaign contributions from the healthcare industry. The New York Democratic Committee, which Cuomo controls, <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/02\/01\/cuomo-put-vaccine-distribution-into-the-hands-of-hospitals-aka-some-of-his-biggest-donors\/\">received<\/a> $1.15 million from The Greater New York Hospital Association (GNYHA) in 2018.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think any investigation here has to follow the money,\u201d de Blasio <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/03\/01\/de-blasio-campaign-contributions-from-nursing-homes-cuomo-decision-making\/\">said<\/a> at the time.<\/p>\n<p>All 19 Democratic members of New York\u2019s congressional delegation have also called for Cuomo\u2019s resignation. Cuomo has pledged to remain in office.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio called for the resignation or impeachment of his fellow New York Democrat and longtime nemesis Gov.
