NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- President Joe Biden on Tuesday said that Gov. Andrew Cuomo should resign if an ongoing independent investigation confirms the sexual harassment allegations he is facing.
“I know you said you want the investigation to continue,” ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos said in an interview with Biden on Tuesday. “If the investigation confirms the claims of the women, should he resign?”
Biden responded with one word: “Yes.”
“I think he’ll probably end up being prosecuted, too,” the president went on to say.
“How about right now? You said you want the investigation to continue,” Stephanopoulous asked the president. “You saw Chuck Schumer… Senator Gillibrand, the majority of the Congressional delegation don’t think he can be an effective governor right now. Can he serve effectively?”
“Well, that’s a judgment for them to make,” Biden responded.
A woman “should be presumed telling the truth, and should not be scapegoated and become victimized by her coming forward,” he added.
Cuomo has repeatedly denied that he ever “touched anyone inappropriately,” and has said that he will not resign.
