New York Mayor Bill de Blasio has become the highest-ranking politician to call for Governor Andrew Cuomo’s resignation.

According to Fox News:

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio called for Gov. Andrew Cuomo to resign on Thursday, following a report of sixth woman accusing him of sexual misconduct.

While de Blasio has recently discussed the idea of Cuomo stepping down after previous allegations against him, the mayor said that the latest accusation is too much and he must go.

“It is disgusting to me. And he can no longer serve as governor. It’s as simple as that,” de Blasio said during a press briefing.

…

“The latest report, and the fact that we can talk about how many people are bringing forward accusations, that it’s not one, it’s not two, it’s not three, it’s not four, it’s not five, it’s six women who have come forward, it’s deeply troubling,” de Blasio said. “The specific allegation that the governor called an employee of his – someone he had power over – called them to a private place and then sexually assaulted her is absolutely unacceptable.”

De Blasio did not limit his criticism to the sexual misconduct claims he also discussed how the mishandling of nursing homes during the early stages of the pandemic is a major problem as well.
