Cuomo says the facts are far different from what the investigation has concluded. (Image via video still)

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.

Cuomo denies he has ever touched anyone inappropriately, and is denying he ever sexually harassed anyone.

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 ...

UPDATE: Matt Damon clarifies that crazy story — and says he never uses slurs, and stands with the LGBTQ+ community.

I had a whole post that included Matt Damon's surprising admission that he stopped casual use of “fag” just months ago when his daughter persuaded him it was harmful ... but it vanished.

I guess Matt missed this in 2009:

In a nutshell: If Damon is agreeing the word is harmful, late or not, I'm glad. And that he says in another interview that as a white movie star he has blind spots is at least self-aware.

Because on top of his latest act of obtuseness, don't forget that in 2015 — just six years ago, after playing gay in The Talented Mr. Ripley and Behind the Candelabra — he urged gay actors to stay in the closet, because audiences should not know actors' sexualities.

Matt Damon, who is married with kids said that.

Onward and upward — I think we have worse problems and more malevolent enemies, even if this is disappointing and, really, bewildering.

I want to know what word Matt Damon has replaced f****t with.
