<p>New York Governor Andrew Cuomo (D) responded to misconduct allegations that he is facing by saying during a press conference on Wednesday that he &#8220;deeply apologized&#8221; for his conduct and that he is &#8220;embarrassed&#8221; over the situation.</p>
<p>&#8220;I want to address the recent allegations that have been made against me,&#8221; Cuomo said. &#8220;As you probably know, the Attorney General is doing an independent review and I will fully cooperate with that review. Now, the lawyers say, I shouldn&#8217;t say anything, when you have a pending review until that review is over, I understand that. I&#8217;m a lawyer too.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;First, I fully support a woman&#8217;s right to come forward,&#8221; Cuomo said. &#8220;And I think it should be encouraged in every way. I now understand that I acted in a way that made people feel uncomfortable. It was unintentional. And I truly and deeply apologize for it. I feel awful about it. And frankly, I am embarrassed by it. And that&#8217;s not easy to say. But that&#8217;s the truth.&#8221;</p>
<p>“I never touched anyone inappropriately,” Cuomo said. “I never knew at the time that I was making anyone feel uncomfortable&#8230;And I certainly never ever meant to offend anyone, or hurt anyone or cause anyone any pain. That is the last thing I would ever want to do.”</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">A tearful <a href="https://twitter.com/NYGovCuomo?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@NYGovCuomo</a> on his sexual harassment scandal: &quot;It was unintentional &#8230; I feel awful about it. And frankly, I&#39;m embarrassed by it &#8230; It&#39;s been difficult &#8230; for me&quot;</p>
<p>Notably, he denies Lindsey Boylan&#39;s claim he kissed her: &quot;Get the facts before informing an opinion.&quot; <a href="https://t.co/s7Kt94fW4h">pic.twitter.com/s7Kt94fW4h</a></p>
<p>&mdash; Tom Elliott (@tomselliott) <a href="https://twitter.com/tomselliott/status/1367183866394521602?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 3, 2021</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Cuomo also rejected calls from reporters who asked if it was in the state&#8217;s best interests that he resign, saying that he will comply with the investigation being conducting by the New York attorney general.</p>
<p>Cuomo addressed photos that have surfaced of him touching people by <a href="https://twitter.com/CalebJHull/status/1367184961271451652">saying</a>, &#8220;You can go find hundreds of pictures of me kissing people, men, women. It is my usual and customary way of greeting.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;And I&#8217;m embarrassed by it and I feel bad from it. I&#8217;m not in this business to make people feel uncomfortable, I&#8217;m hear to help them, that&#8217;s the essence of what I do,&#8221; Cuomo said. &#8220;I do not believe that I have never done anything in my public career that I am ashamed of. I didn&#8217;t know I was making her uncomfortable at the time, I feel badly that I did. And I&#8217;m going to learn from it.&#8221;</p>
<p>One reporter asked Cuomo if he has taken the &#8220;sexual harassment training required by New York that all employers are to give to their employees,&#8221; to which Cuomo responded: &#8220;Short answer is yes.&#8221;</p>
<p>Cuomo is facing <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/andrew-cuomo-investigation-sexual-misconduct-allegations/">several allegations</a> including that he kissed a former staffer at work and created a hostile work environment that involved sexual harassment; that he asked another female staffer about her sex life at work; and that he made a woman at a wedding feel uncomfortable when he put his hands on her face and asked her if he could kiss her.</p>
