Andrew Cuomo Refuses to Take Responsibility in Apology for Misconduct, Rejects Calls to Resign
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo apologized Wednesday in response to
multiple accusations of sexual harassment and unwanted physical contact.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo: "I never touched anyone inappropriately. I never knew
at the time that I was making anyone feel uncomfortable."

Cuomo has now been accused of harassment by two former aides and
unwanted sexual advances and touching by a third woman, but has rejected
calls for his resignation. New York's attorney general is overseeing an
investigation into the allegations. Cuomo is also under fire for
covering up thousands of COVID deaths in New York nursing homes.
