Letitia James launches attack after former governor, who resigned amid sexual harassment allegations, decries cancel culture.
Cuomo also said: “The Bible teaches perseverance, it teaches us to get off the mat. I want to take the energy that could have made me bitter and make us better.” Woe unto us if we allow that to become our new justice system.” He used his speech on Sunday to condemn a social media-fueled climate he said was dangerous. “Any accusation can trigger condemnation without facts or due process,” he said. Last month, a New York state trooper sued Cuomo, claiming he caused severe mental anguish and emotional distress by touching her inappropriately and making suggestive comments.
In his first public speech since resigning last August amid numerous sexual harassment allegations, Andrew Cuomo told a predominantly Black church in ...
"He needs to turn the page on his political resume and doing it this way is kind of like old-school electoral politics." But the crisis this time that the younger Cuomo referred to is cancel culture. "His fortunes were sky-high before they collapsed," Dr. Lee Miringoff, the director of the Marist College Institute for Public Opinion, said. "My father, God rest his soul, used to say that government is an honorable profession but that politics can be a dirty business," Cuomo said. New York Gov. Mario Cuomo took the stage at the National Democratic Convention, and at least for one night, he unified the party with a sense of purpose. His son Andrew Cuomo tried to strike a similar tone on Sunday in his first public speech since resigning last August amid numerous sexual harassment allegations and a federal investigation into his handling of COVID in nursing homes.
The former N.Y. governor hinted at a possible future run for office during his first public appearance since resigning from office last summer.
"The Bible teaches perseverance, it teaches us to get off the mat," he said. I want to take the energy that could have made me bitter and make us better." He said his opponents used it to "effectively overturn an election." "Contrary to what my political opponents would have you believe, nothing I did violated the law or the regulation," Cuomo said. Cuomo has denied the allegations and said any inappropriate behavior on his part was unintentional. Cuomo announced his exit from the Governor's Mansion in August, days after New York Attorney General Letitia James released a report which determined he engaged in "unwanted groping, kisses, hugging, and making inappropriate comments" with current and former state employees.

"When you leave office the way the governor did, that's a very unique and specific example that should be looked at," Ortt said. From July, a month prior to his resignation, to early January, Cuomo spent about $2 million, according to campaign filings. "This seems to be a marvelous gap in our campaign finance laws," Lerner said. This past week he spoke to a Black congregation in Brooklyn on the first Sunday of Lent. He also has begun running TV ads intended to repair his reputation after his resignation amid mounting scandals and an ongoing impeachment investigation. "I'm not going anywhere," Cuomo said as he revved up his vehicle and spoke to reporters following the church services. NYPIRG is one of the good government groups that filed the complaint alleging Cuomo was violating campaign finance rules by using the funds to pay Richard Azzopardi — his spokesman when he Cuomo was governor — to continue as his spokesman in the aftermath of his resignation, and with no indication he is running for public office.

The former governor of New York spoke at a Black church on Sunday, days after releasing a political ad. What might be next in Mr. Cuomo's re-entry into ...
Mr. Cuomo spent virtually his entire adult life in politics, and his interest has not dimmed; he has been privately discussing the political landscape with associates since leaving office. “There is absolutely no future for Andrew Cuomo in public life in New York State or anywhere else,” said Christine Quinn, a former speaker of the New York City Council who was once a close Cuomo ally. “Statewide political ads followed by a big speech in Brooklyn is usually something that a candidate does.” The Bronx may be one place where Mr. Cuomo heads soon. Mr. Cuomo spent years plotting a comeback and may see that effort as a playbook now. “I think he had a feeling that he wanted to clear his name.” But roughly five years had passed between Mr. Spitzer’s resignation and his run for a much lower-profile office. Or he could simply be trying to expand his future political options, which have been severely limited. His legal issues are not entirely resolved, and a recent poll from Siena College Research Institute found that 80 percent of New York voters said resigning was the appropriate step. But while prosecutors concluded there were insufficient legal grounds to pursue criminal charges, a number of them also stressed that they had found the claims credible. The Democratic Party has endorsed its nominees for statewide office. Some of that effort is also playing out privately.

Assemblyman Ron Kim (D-Queens) , an outspoken Cuomo critic and nursing home advocate, called Cuomo's new remarks “pathetic” and a missed opportunity to do the right thing. Kim's now pushing the current Governor Kathy Hochul to investigate what went wrong under Cuomo and to improve care. Cuomo made remarks at a Brooklyn church where he blamed both cancel culture and Democrats for his political demise.

His defense has been that he didn’t know those comments were inappropriate at the time. There’s one lawsuit open against him, from a woman who used to work in his security detail. "The truth has actually come forth, and I feel vindicated," Cuomo said. But, by the way I don't want to be at peace,” Cuomo said. “No one ever told me I made them feel uncomfortable. He resigned a few weeks later.

“This leaves candidates largely free to blend the personal and political.” New York Election Law does not prohibit a former office holder, or anyone else from using campaign funds to test the waters for a future political candidacy. “It is a purpose not unlike the campaign marketing services at issue in [a cited advisory opinion], and would similarly likely be assumed to be proper.” “Based on the foregoing, this matter is now closed.” “New York Election Law places no restriction on when a political committee must terminate or dispose of its funds (except for death of the candidate),” Johnson said. “Thus, the appropriateness of the expenditure at issue here turns on whether it is exclusively for former Governor Cuomo’s personal benefit or made in connection with or related to a political campaign.”

It was probably the toughest time of my life.” If he ever decides to try earning real redemption, he’ll donate that fortune to a genuinely good cause. I resigned as governor, the press roasted me, my colleagues were ridiculed, my brother was fired,” Cuomo moaned.
