Mayor Bill de Blasio took to the morning shows today to inveigh against Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the wake of damning sexual harassment claims corroborated by the state attorney general.
"There was a certain strange willingness in this sate to say, 'OK, we just gotta deal with it. He’s so powerful,'" the mayor said during an interview on MSNBC's "Morning Joe." "This is not a democracy when someone rules like a tyrant and threatens, bullies … whatever it is, it’s this constant use of power for personal gain, far beyond the boundaries of what we should ever accept.
He recounted the instance of Cuomo demanding de Blasio fire his former press secretary, Karen Hinton — who herself accused Cuomo of sexually inappropriate behavior — after she made a comment critical of the governor."He should just have the decency to do one thing — one thing where he thinks about other people rather than himself and step away today for the good of the people of New York State," the mayor said on "Morning Joe.
During the CBS interview, he said, “If he wants to wait for impeachment, he can, but it’s coming soon in our state Legislature." He said the governor’s response, which included a slide show of photos of him hugging and kissing other people, was “out of touch with reality." “It’s also profoundly disrespectful. How about saying, ‘I did something wrong. I have to atone for my sins. I need to go deal with my problems,’” he said.
