Former Rep. Charlie Rangel defends Cuomo: 'Back off until you got some facts'
Fox News
Former Rep. Charlie Rangel, D-N.Y, issued a defense of New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo Wednesday, a sentiment that has been in short supply for the governor as he battles scandals involving sexual misconduct and a coronavirus nursing home death undercount.
Rangel, 90, praised Dickens’ earlier defense of the governor amid the growing number of allegations. "She spoke for our community saying, 'Back off until you got some facts.’ And at the same time, to the governor, thank you so much for what you have done." "In my opinion when people start piling up on you, you’re trying to figure out, is this same country that says that you can make any allegation that you want to make but due process and hearing is basically what we believe in in this country?" said Rangel, who served New York in Congress for 46 years.More Related News
