Cuomo follows well-used playbook by scandal-plagued politicians: deny wrongdoing, wait it out
Fox News
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is laying low ever since releasing a video response denying the allegations of sexual harassment from 11 women illustrated in a state attorney general’s report as the public and political figures, including President Biden, call for his resignation.
Another Democrat who pressed on in the face of sexual misconduct allegations was President Bill Clinton. After Paula Jones raised allegations of sexual harassment, Clinton denied wrongdoing only to later settle a lawsuit for $850,000 while remaining in office. Clinton also managed to survive far more serious allegations, such as Juanita Broaddrick’s rape accusation and Kathleen Willey’s claim that he groped her. Then there was an impeachment that at its center was an extramarital affair with a college intern. Clinton initially denied his involvement with then-21-year-old Monica Lewinsky only to publicly admit it while still in office, but he rode out the scandal, getting acquitted by the Senate and serving in office for nearly two more years until his second term ended.More Related News
