Senator Oberacker Reiterates Call for Governor to Resign

ALBANY – 08/03/21 – Senator Peter Oberacker (R/C-Schenevus) today responded to the report from independent investigators finding that Governor Cuomo sexually harassed multiple women in violation of state and federal laws.

“The governor must resign immediately and face criminal charges. 

“The governor said wait for the independent investigation from the attorney general, we now have that report and it is sickening to read.  The heinous acts committed by the governor are unconscionable – he clearly violated the public trust, and moreover he treated a number of women in a disgusting, unlawful manner. I commend those who courageously stood up to this predator and praise them for their bravery. 

“Additionally, the governor’s behavior was covered up by others.  The AG’s findings show high level staff members acted in concert with the governor and they too must be held accountable.

“We also cannot forget that additional investigations are moving forward, including a probe into needless nursing home deaths and the governor’s attempted coverup.

“Short of resignation, the State Assembly must stop dragging their feet and impeach the governor immediately.”
