N.Y. Gov. Andrew Cuomo is responding forcefully to the revelations in A.G. Letitia James's investigation into allegations he sexually harassed 11 women, including direct subordinates, and he is not copping to any of it.

Not surprisingly, GOP figures silent about Trump, about Gaetz, about Clarence Thomas, etc., are calling for him to resign, with no shame. But so are many Democrats.

Is this enough to push the resiliently popular governor out the door? Or will he stay in office? And even run again?

His words ...
