NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — Gov. Andrew Cuomo has at least one friend left.
Actor Alec Baldwin, 63, tweeted his support for the governor Tuesday after Cuomo announced his resignation — effective in 14 days — following a damning investigation into sexual harassment allegations against the governor.
Baldwin wrote that it was a “tragic day,” describing Cuomo as a “socially maladjusted” victim of cancel culture.
“Regardless of what you think of Cuomo, this is a tragic day,” Baldwin tweeted. “Party politics in this country draw ambitious but ultimately isolated, even socially maladjusted men and women who, given the current cancel culture, will likely have their shortcomings exposed and magnified.”
Eleven women accused Cuomo of sexual harassment in a report published by Attorney General Letitia James last week, bringing intense pressure on Cuomo to step down as a state Assembly impeachment investigation wraps up.
Baldwin was met with some support, though he was mostly inundated with angry replies.
“It's not about ‘party politics’ and it isn't about ‘cancel culture/(which doesn't exist),” one user responded. “It's about powerful men not getting away with their predation of women.”
