The Post says: Andrew Cuomo has to go — right now

It’s time for Gov. Andrew Cuomo to do one honorable thing: step down. If he refuses, lawmakers should remove him. Pronto.

The case for his departure — whether voluntary or forced — was clear long before state Attorney General Letitia James released her damning report Tuesday. Now there’s no longer any excuse for delay.

Even Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie, who oversees impeachment proceedings but who has until now practically broken his back trying to protect the gov, admitted that Cuomo’s “conduct,” as outlined in James’ report, “would indicate someone who is not fit for office.” Heastie called the victims’ details “gut-wrenching” and said Cuomo has “lost the confidence of the Assembly Democratic majority” and “can no longer remain in office.”

Heck, President Joe Biden, a Cuomo ally, also thinks the gov should go. He said in March that Cuomo would need to resign if the investigation confirms the allegations. Now that it has, Biden said Tuesday he’s sticking to his position.
