"As elected officials, particularly cisgender men and people in power, we need to make it a point to be better allies. This repeated behavior shown by Governor Cuomo is abhorrent and inexcusable." said Assemblymember Victor M. Pichardo.
"Those of us who hold positions in public government are given a responsibility to serve as examples to the communities we represent. At this point, I see no way the Governor can live up to that responsibility."
"For the good of New York State, he should step down immediately."
"To the three women who came forward, Lindsey Boylan, Charlotte Bennett, and Anna Ruch: we see you, we hear you, and we believe you. We need to do better."
