Six New York Democrats Call for Andrew Cuomo’s Impeachment

Six New York Democrat lawmakers on Tuesday called for New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) to be impeached after a trio of sexual harassment allegations were brought forth against the governor.

“The accounts of sexual harassment from the women who have courageously come forward confirm what many in Albany have known for years: that Governor Cuomo uses his power to belittle, bully and harass his employees and colleagues,” they said in a joint statement. “The accounts add to recent revelations of gross misconduct. It is time for the legislature to demand accountability.”

The letter was signed by the following lawmakers, who are also members of the Democratic Socialists of America: Sens. Julia Salazar and Jabari Brisport, Assembly Members Emily Gallagher, Phara Souffrant Forrest, Zohran Mamdani, and Marcela Mitaynes.
