Andrew Cuomo

I'm not going to resign.

I now understand that I acted in a way that made people feel uncomfortable.

I acknowledge some of the things I have said have been misinterpreted as an unwanted flirtation. To the extent anyone felt that way, I am truly sorry about that.

To be clear I never inappropriately touched anybody and I never propositioned anybody. And I never intended to make anyone feel uncomfortable. But these are allegations that New Yorkers deserve answers to.

I now understand my interactions may have been insensitive or too personal and that some of my comments given my position made others feel in ways I never intend.

the governor for months and months and months did not release full data on the death toll inside of nursing homes.

he had to yank those doses back because they were stuck and deemed, you know, only fit for that program.

Everybody was working 24 hours a day. Everybody was overwhelmed. We were in the midst of dealing with a pandemic and trying to save lives.

In retrospect, we should have prioritized providing more information.

There is nothing to investigate. All the numbers we produced were exactly right. We didn`t provide all the information that was requested. That did create a void and misinformation did fill the void.

We made a mistake --

You don`t defeat a virus with politics. You use science and technology.

To be clear, all the deaths in the nursing homes and in the hospitals were always fully publicly and accurately reported.

You don’t defeat a virus with politics. You use science and technology.

They have been denying the reality of the situation from the beginning. You want to start over, you want to hit the reset button, I will tell you how we hit the reset button in this country. We start this time with the truth.

The last thing you want on top of this chaos is people get a first dose and then they come back with a second dose and you say we ran out.

Why you wouldn't take action and require that people who fly to this country be tested first is beyond me.

I believe this is the weapon that will end the war.

We have to build confidence in this vaccine.

Let Joe Biden take the reins. Let him start working with the governors. And let's get it done, because I don't believe Trump has the capacity to do it anyway.

The threat is just that. It's a silly, hollow threat.

This was the president himself, right, liberate Michigan, liberate New York, organizing protests against governors who were trying to protect the people in their state.

The federal government won't fund the states to do this. The CDC estimates that it will cost $6 billion.

Fifty percent said they fear the president politicized the FDA's approval process.

He has been incompetent and lied frankly about COVID from day one.
