Big Apple Mayor Bill de Blasio turned on fellow Democrat Andrew Cuomo Wednesday as two scandals plague the embattled Governor; suggesting it may be time to “step aside and let someone else” lead the state.
“If the governor is to remain in office, he has to govern… He has to answer questions every day and address the issues. There’s so much going on with this pandemic. We have to continue to do this work to protect people’s lives. And, obviously, part of that is responding to the concerns of the public expressed through the media,” said de Blasio.
“If you’re not in a position to govern for any reason, if you’re incapacitated, whatever it is — of course, step aside and let someone else do it,” he added.
The scandals surrounding Governor Cuomo continue to pile up and his allies are turning on him.

"Separately, my office has heard anecdotally that some people have reached out to Ms. Bennett to express displeasure about her coming forward. My message to anyone doing that is you have misjudged what matters to me and my administration and you should stop now – period."

“I acknowledge some of the things I have said have been misinterpreted as an unwanted flirtation. To the extent anyone felt that way, I am truly sorry about that,” he added.

DE BLASIO TURNS: Mayor Accuses Cuomo of ‘Laughing Off’ Allegations of Sexual Misconduct
Big Apple Mayor Bill de Blasio slammed Governor Andrew Cuomo during a press briefing Monday; directly accusing his fellow Democrat of “laughing off” allegations of sexual misconduct and abusing his office.
“I think when someone’s done something wrong, they need to say ‘I did something wrong’ and decide what action they’re going to take as a result,” said the Mayor.
“It’s even more horrible that something like sexual harassment or taking advantage of a high office, to laugh it off is even more troubling. That’s not a laughing matter,” added de Blasio.
