Hillary Clinton has returned to New York politics — and her latest message for embattled Gov. Andrew Cuomo has sent the Democratic leader into hiding.
Amid the ongoing allegations of Cuomo’s sexual misconduct, the former Secretary of State says she wants action taken against Cuomo.
She wants answers. And Cuomo is suddenly nowhere to be found.
“These stories are difficult to read,” Hillary said in a statement, “The allegations brought forth raise serious questions that the women who have come forward and all New Yorkers deserve answers to.”
“I’m glad to see that there will be a full, independent, and thorough investigation,” she noted.
Hillary has become one of the latest figures in the political world to come after Cuomo. She joins a list of liberal one-time allies, including the likes of New York City Mayor Bill De Blasio and Rep. Kathleen Rice, D-N.Y. who have publicly gone on record calling for an investigation or Cuomo’s resignation.
As for Hillary, it’s certainly a change of tone from when her husband, former President Bill Clinton, was accused of his sexual philandering and violent rape. Nonetheless, Hillary is coming down hard on Cuomo as more women come forward with accusations.
Three women in total have spoken out thus far, making their own claims about his strange behavior.
Cuomo hasn’t been seen on camera since Thursday.
“The public absence was more glaring after legislative leaders announced Tuesday they were limiting the governor’s broad powers to unilaterally set state policy during the pandemic,” The Associated Press reported.
The Horn News reported earlier in the week that an investigation into Cuomo’s behavior has been opened by New York Attorney General Letitia James.
James said that Cuomo’s office sent out a letter allowing a formal investigation to occur.
Meanwhile, Cuomo is nowhere to be seen.
