U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand defended her call for New York Governor Andrew Cuomo to resign over sexual-harassment allegations, saying she was expressing “an opinion” about “credible” complaints from at least six female accusers.
Gillibrand made her comments Friday while answering questions from a female caller on WNYC Radio’s Brian Lehrer program. The caller asked why Gillibrand and Majority Leader Chuck Schumer joined other Democrats in demanding the resignation without allowing “due process” of the accusations against the governor.
