Cuomo follows well-used playbook by scandal-plagued politicians: deny wrongdoing, wait it out
Cuomo would hardly be the first leader to resist pressure to resign amid scandal
By Ronn Blitzer | Fox News
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is laying low ever since releasing a video response denying the allegations of sexual harassment from 11 women illustrated in a state attorney general’s report as the public and political figures, including President Biden, call for his resignation.
For months, Cuomo has ignored pressure to leave office over this scandal as well as his alleged cover-up of nursing home coronavirus deaths, waiting out news cycles while insisting he has done nothing wrong – a strategy used by many others in the past.
nother Democrat who pressed on in the face of sexual misconduct allegations was President Bill Clinton. After Paula Jones raised allegations of sexual harassment, Clinton denied wrongdoing only to later settle a lawsuit for $850,000 while remaining in office. Clinton also managed to survive far more serious allegations, such as Juanita Broaddrick’s rape accusation and Kathleen Willey’s claim that he groped her.
