Andrew Cuomo does not resign following an explosive report declaring he sexually harassed at least 11 women.<\/p>\n<p>State Assemblyman Ron Kim, a fellow Democrat, has already called for the Assembly, now in recess, to return \u201cimmediately\u201d to begin impeachment proceedings against the governor.&nbsp;\u201cThere is no measure left to hide the truth. The governor broke the law so we must hold him accountable,\u201d Kim said in a statement, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/cuomo-facing-impeachment-votes-from-majority-of-ny-assembly-if-he-doesnt-resign-report\">according<\/a> to Fox News.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen institutions fail to believe victims, allow predators to act with impunity, or fail to put policies of protection in place, it sends a strong signal that condones this type of unacceptable behavior. We cannot afford to ignore his transgressions any longer: doing so will erode the integrity of our legislative body and demonstrate complicity in sheltering a sexual predator,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>State Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins, another Democrat, agreed.&nbsp; \u201cWhen these disturbing allegations first came to light, the governor must resign for the good of the state. Now that the investigation is complete and the allegations have been substantiated, it should be clear to everyone that he can no longer serve as governor,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>A black cloud is descending on Cuomo. President Joe Biden, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the two New York U.S. senators \u2014 both Democrats \u2014 have called for Cuomo to step down.<\/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>New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said Wednesday that Cuomo should face criminal charges following the bombshell report. The mayor,&nbsp;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>Cuomo also faces legal issues. \u201cDistrict attorneys in Manhattan, suburban Westchester and Nassau counties and the state capital of Albany said they asked for investigative materials from the inquiry, overseen by Democratic state Attorney General Letitia James. The inquiry found that Cuomo \u2014 a former state AG himself \u2014 violated civil laws against sexual harassment, and it left the door open for local prosecutors to bring cases,\u201d the Associated Press <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/cuomo-harassment-investigation-impeachment-26edc9cf16cd378cc3573ed85613e797\">reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
