Andrew Cuomo should face criminal charges following an explosive report from Attorney General Letitia James that concluded that Cuomo sexually harassed 11 women and likely \u201cviolated federal and state law.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>De Blasio, who has long feuded with his fellow Democrat, also predicted the governor will eventually resign.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you assault a woman, you do something against her will sexually, that\u2019s criminal,\u201d de Blasio <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbs.com\/shows\/cbs_this_morning\/video\/5E2foNfNcqE7PGHJj7_5gv69YZ2NlN0X\/mayor-de-blasio-on-cuomo-allegations-and-on-new-york-city-vaccine-mandate\/\">said<\/a> on CBS. \u201cThe Albany County District Attorney\u2019s looking at that, and I think he should be charged.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In fact, Albany County District Attorney David Soares said Tuesday that his office is indeed beginning a criminal investigation into Cuomo. \u201cWe are conducting our own separate investigation,\u201d Soares <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2021\/08\/03\/albany-da-says-cuomo-criminal-probe-open-contacts-victims\/\">said<\/a> on \u201cNBC Nightly News.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Democratic governor sexually harassed at least 11 women and then retaliated against at least one former employee who complained, according to a report released Tuesday by state Attorney General Letitia James.&nbsp;The report concluded that the governor \u201csexually harassed multiple women and in doing so violated federal and state law,\u201d James said at a press conference.<\/p>\n<p>The probe included interviews with 179 witnesses and a review of tens of thousands of documents, concluding that Cuomo\u2019s office was a hostile workplace filled with fear and intimidation.<\/p>\n<p>The mayor said the report will likely prompt Cuomo to step down. \u201cI think, ultimately, he will have to resign, either because of a prosecution, wherein he makes some deal around giving up his office, or because an impeachment is imminent,\u201d de Blasio <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2021\/08\/03\/biden-calls-on-cuomo-to-resign-after-bombshell-sexual-harassment-report.html\">said<\/a> on \u201cMSNBC\u2019s Morning Joe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>De Blasio said Cuomo\u2019s current situation mirrors that of 2002, when Cuomo abandoned his gubernatorial campaign. \u201cIn 2002, he ran for governor. When it looked like he wasn\u2019t going to win that primary, he got out of town before the election happened,\u201d de Blasio said. \u201cHe literally pulled out of the election rather than suffer defeat. So I think that is a very likely scenario here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After the attorney general\u2019s report came out, President Joe Biden called on Cuomo to step down. \u201cHe should resign,\u201d Biden told reporters at the White House. Asked whether Cuomo should be impeached and removed from office if he refuses to resign, Biden said, \u201cI understand the state legislature may decide to impeach, I do not know that for a fact.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cuomo release a video statement after the report and said he will not resign, denying the reports findings and saying his actions had been mischaracterized or misinterpreted.<\/p>\n<p>De Blasio ripped Cuomo\u2019s statement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPutting your hand up a woman\u2019s shirt and touching her breast is not generational,\u201d he said on CBS. \u201cI know plenty of guys who are older who would never in a million years do that,\u201d he added. \u201cTalking to 20-something year-old woman, asking if they\u2019d date an older guy, and then leering at them \u2014 this is not acceptable behavior.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
