I agree with Governor Cuomo's decision to step down. It is the right thing to do and in the best interest of New Yorkers.

As someone who has served at all levels of government and is next in the line of succession, I am prepared to lead as New York State’s 57th Governor.

To all the sanctimonious hacks who diminished @JaniceDean as just the “weather” person as she called att’n to the bullying, illegal, immoral practices of the now-disgraced Andrew Cuomo, thank you for helping to motivate her even more. Soledad, Dowd, Stiller, etc

Funny watching all these Republicans get their shots in on Cuomo while they continue to kowtow to Trump, who’s credibly accused of sexually assaulting 26 women.

Never forget how cable news spent an entire year fawning over Gov. Cuomo

So now that Cuomo has resigned, Gaetz and Jordan should be too, right? And Trump won’t ever run for office again? Or do only Democrats follow the rules/law?

I’m surprised conservatives didn’t rally around Cuomo to own the libs calling for his resignation. https://t.co/sz7F1B6amH

In order for true justice to be done, Cuomo ought to have to resign alone in a hospital room without any access to family.

In recent days, Republicans have taunted Democrats over Andrew Cuomo, and accused them of hypocrisy, and engaged in much Trump-related whataboutism.

Thing is, Dems called for Cuomo to resign. And he did.
Republicans never called on Trump to resign. And he didn't.#bothsides
Good riddance, Cuomo. Newsom, you’re next. All tyrants be on notice, the American people are waking up and we’re not putting up with your crap anymore! Bet!
