Even if the terms of Andrew Cuomo's departure feel typically self-serving, he is still on his way out, thanks to the women who publicly held him to account for inappropriate touches, unasked-for kisses, abrupt groping, and intimidation

Rather than flatten another controversy by force, Governor Andrew Cuomo gave his two weeks’ notice in the midst of a sexual-misconduct probe, saying he would “step aside and let government get back to government.
“My hope always has been that this will make it safer for other women to report their own harassment and abuse,” she said. “I will continue the fight to make that happen.” Cuomo has apologized to Bennett while also insisting she “heard things that [he] just didn’t say,” a contention that sounds an awful lot like gaslighting. Though she has yet to comment on his resignation directly, Bennett shared a statement from her attorney, Debra S. Katz, on Twitter.
McGrath and Limmiatis share an attorney, Mariann Wang, who had the following to say about the resignation: “Ms. McGrath and Ms. Limmiatis remain grateful that their voices and experiences were heard and substantiated by the AG’s investigators, and feel solidarity with all women who continue to be abused by men in power. At least today, one of them has faced some consequences.
