Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand — who in 2017 led calls for fellow Democrat Sen. Al Franken to resign over sexual misconduct allegations — said Sunday that she finally demanded Gov. Andrew Cuomo step down over his own harassment scandal due to the need for leadership amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Gillibrand, New York’s junior US senator, had taken heat for waiting until Friday to call for Cuomo’s resignation, despite being at the forefront of the push to oust Franken, the “Saturday Night Live” funnyman-turned-lawmaker who represented Minnesota.
Speaking during an unrelated press briefing Sunday in Midtown Manhattan, Gillibrand said she decided to finally come out against Cuomo because she felt it was important that New York be led by someone able to give the pandemic their undivided attention.
