Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo spoke out about his ongoing sexual misconduct investigation and epic political downfall at God’s Battalion of Prayer Church in Brooklyn. He also blamed cancel culture on his downfall.
People reports, Cuomo says, “It was ugly. It was probably the toughest time of my life. I haven’t spoken about it in public yet because I wanted to talk about it here with you because God’s guidance is helping me through.”
Shortly after New York Attorney General Letitia James released a report referencing Cuomo’s inappropriate behavior, he resigned. The report detailed him engaging with former and current employees by “unwanted groping, kisses, hugging, and making inappropriate comments.” Though he denied the allegations, he recently admitted that he may have been “old-fashioned and out of touch,” according to The New York Times.
“I didn’t appreciate how fast the perspectives changed.” His quick resignation stemmed from his workplace’s toxic environment shortly after the public report.
“I’ve learned a powerful lesson and paid a very high price for learning that lesson. God isn’t finished with me yet.” Cuomo has yet to be charged with a crime.
“Contrary to what my political opponents would have you believe, nothing I did violated the law or the regulation. But the political sharks in Albany smelled blood.” He also alluded to “cancel culture” being “frightening” and extremism.
“If you want to cancel something, cancel federal gridlock, cancel the incompetence, cancel the infighting, cancel crime, cancel homelessness, cancel education inequality, cancel poverty, cancel racism, be outraged but be outraged at what really matters and what really matters to you.”
He didn’t mention any plans to run for office, but when a churchgoer asked if he would consider running again, he said he was “contemplating.”
Reporters asked the same where he answered, “I said what I said.”
