Bronx delegates join Biaggi’s call for Cuomo’s
resignation as third accuser emerges
BY ALEX MITCHELL
As a third woman has now
accused Governor Andrew
Cuomo of sexual harassment,
a chorus of Bronx elected offi
cials are now calling for his
resignation given the alleged
misconduct.
What began with Senator
Alessandra Biaggi calling on
an end to Cuomo’s term late
Saturday night when only two
women had publicly accused
the governor has now multiplied
to include: Assemblywoman
Nathalia Fernandez,
Assemblyman Victor Pichardo,
and Senator Gustavo Rivera.
Since Monday night, each of
these Bronx politicians took to
Twitter with their respective
calls for Cuomo’s resignation:

speaks for itself.
I am re-iterating my call for
@NYGovCuomo to resign.
We can insist that he step
down, even while we wait on
the results of the full investigation
happening now.
I stand with Anna Ruch.

As of Sunday night, Fernandez
at fi rst called for an independent
investigation into Cuomo
and the ensuring that Attorney
General Letitia James would
have subpoena powers in such
an inquiry. Since then she has
sharpened her stance against
the governor.
Meanwhile, Pichardo
tweeted a picture of his own
statement on Cuomo, which
said, “Those of us who hold positions
in public government
are given a responsibility to
serve as examples to the communities
we represent. At this
point, I see no way the governor
can live up to that responsibly.”
“For the good of New York
State, he should step down immediately.”
These new allegations
against Cuomo surface after
weeks of supposed scandals
regarding the ‘void’ of underreporting
nursing home fatalities
and allegedly threatening
harsh retaliation against
Assemblyman Ron Kim.
