Stefanik Says Cuomo Should Be ‘Arrested Immediately’

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.), the No. 3 House Republican, is calling for Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) to be arrested “immediately” following a report that found he sexually harassed several women.

In a statement on Tuesday, the New York Congresswoman said, “No one is above the law and today justice must be served. Governor Cuomo must resign and be arrested immediately. President Joe Biden must immediately call for Cuomo’s resignation.”

She continued, “In December, I was the first federal official to publicly call for an independent investigation into Governor Cuomo’s sexual harassment, abuse, and assault. The independent investigation led by the Attorney General’s office confirms Governor 👤Andrew Cuomo sexually harassed and assaulted multiple women, including employees in his office and state troopers.

“The media and Democrats smeared me and closed ranks to protect Cuomo, a shameful chapter in New York history. All of them including his staff must be held to account. These brave women deserve swift and definitive justice,” Stefanik added.

Her statement comes after New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) released a report that found Cuomo “sexually harassed a number of State employees through unwelcome and unwanted touching, as well as by making numerous offensive and sexually suggestive comments.”
