Elise Stefanik called on Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo to be arrested Tuesday after he announced his resignation due to an independent investigation that found he had sexually harassed multiple women.<\/p>\n<p>Stefanik, the third-ranking House Republican, released a statement shortly after Cuomo <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/08\/10\/cuomo-announces-resignation-following-ag-sexual-harassment-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">announced<\/a> he would be resigning as Governor of New York, saying he needs to be arrested and saying the next Governor \u201cmust clean house.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNew Yorkers have lived for far too long under the Worst Governor in America\u2019s corrupt and criminal tenure,\u201d Stefanik said in the <a href=\"https:\/\/stefanik.house.gov\/press-releases?ID=48568A2C-137B-464F-A95D-589EC2D2FABB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">statement<\/a>. \u201cThis resignation is long past overdue. Governor Cuomo needs to be arrested and prosecuted for sexual harassment, sexual assault, and sexual abuse. Governor Cuomo also needs to be arrested and prosecuted for his criminal acts covering up the tragic deaths of our most vulnerable seniors in nursing homes,\u201d Stefanik said in her statement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn addition, Governor Cuomo and his staff, funded by the taxpayers, must be prosecuted for using state resources to negotiate a multimillion-dollar book deal using state resources illegally. There are multiple federal and state laws that the Governor and his staff have broken, and they need to be held accountable. Every New Yorker must know that there is equal justice under the law \u2013 no matter if you are the most powerful figure in New York or an everyday New Yorker,\u201d Stefanik continued.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7257285\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" readability=\"35\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7257285\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7257285\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Photo-by-Mary-Altaffer-PoolGetty-Images-1321-1.jpg\" alt srcset=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Photo-by-Mary-Altaffer-PoolGetty-Images-1321-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cdn01.dailycaller.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Photo-by-Mary-Altaffer-PoolGetty-Images-1321-1-180x120.jpg 180w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Photo-by-Mary-Altaffer-PoolGetty-Images-1321-1-620x413-1.jpg 620w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Photo-by-Mary-Altaffer-PoolGetty-Images-1321-1-768x512-1.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Photo-by-Mary-Altaffer-PoolGetty-Images-1321-1-1536x1024-1.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Photo-by-Mary-Altaffer-PoolGetty-Images-1321-1-2048x1365-1.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-7257285\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>New York Gov.
