Republicans have drafted articles of impeachment for the governor, Tenney said, adding that some Democrats agree he needs to be impeached as well.
She also accused Cuomo of “arrogance” and refusing to take responsibility after the governor held a news conference Friday in which he accused Republicans of “playing politics” 과 “exploiting” the situation” 와 “misinformation.”
“This is vintage Cuomo, this is how he always sounds, he’s bullying, he’s pointing fingers, he’s blaming other people,” 그녀가 말했다, mentioning Democratic New York Assemblyman Ron Kim who claimed Cuomo threatened him after he spoke out about the scandal.
Tenney said Kim was “instrumental in getting [the allegations] to the forefront” and he also forced the “Albany press corps to be accountable for once without some of our tougher press corps there. They haven’t really been after Governor Cuomo.”
She allleged Cuomo has “bullied” people with his communications team to keep them from going after him. “They started off going after Ron Kim, you know … and now he’s fought back and people are standing up. And I think people are starting to notice.”
