Apparently the walls have closed in sufficiently that even a mega-narcissist like Andrew Cuomo couldn’t escape.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has announced he is “stepping aside” from his office.
Cuomo called the impeachment investigation into him “politically motivated” — but added that he was stepping down because he would “never want to be unhelpful in any way.”
“I’m a New Yorker, born and bred. I’m a fighter and my instinct is to fight through this controversy because I truly believe it is politically motivated, I believe it is unfair and it is untruthful and I believe it demonizes behavior that is unsustainable for society,” he said.
Cuomo continued: “New York tough means New York loving, and I love New York, and I love you. I would never want to be unhelpful in any way.”
Next question: What will CNN do about his brother?
