well, cuomo and kamala harris. now vice president harris is totally silent about the claims against cuomo but when kavanaugh -- remedy allegations that he was facing in misconduct? harris wanted him to walk the plank. harris even one of the to investigate kavanaugh for the far-fetched, uncorroborated lies -- remember julie swetnick about kavanaugh? alleged drug induced gang-rape parties, kids lined up in the hall in suburban maryland that would happen almost every other weekend and she was in fact, along with cuomo said that kavanaugh should take a lie detector test and said that he believed his accusers, well, she should -- by the way, she was the biggest believer in the entire the country, just to remind you. >> i believe her. listen, first of all, anyone who comes forward at this point to be prepared to testify in the united states senate against someone who is being nominated to one of the most powerful positions in the united states government. that takes an extraordinary amount of courage. >> i want to thank

this thing with cuomo, cuomo is nothing. the fact that he murdered senior citizens, that's the st problem. >> host: back to these charges, when both the democrats in congress or at least the senate call for investigation and when representatives in new york n?call for his resignation you have state legislatures calling for resignation is that worthy of concern or a investigation? >> caller: it's politics. it is politics. can't you getit? they're not playing but will . by their democratic playbook. cuomo has fallen into disfavor with his group. >> .. this guy sent 9000 people to their deaths and was on his brothers show joking and i want to know [inaudible] this is getting ridiculous with all this stuff. him and his brother have their own show and a couple clowns and they will get away with it. democrats never get persecuted for anything. the same people say nothing should happen but they are saying people will called up on brett kavanaugh and how horrible he was. >> host: these accusations ledan from the senator al franken t

governor cuomo. but look, sean, i worked in politics for a while. i worked on capitol hill and political campaigns for a number of years, so i am cynical, i am jaded when it comes to politics. democrats don't care about the allegations made from these women. they don't care at all. , harris said she believed biden's accusers, and then signed up to be his vp. it is about to go things for democrats, opportunity for the progressives in the state who want to take out governor cuomo and put a progressive and the governor's mansion, and secondly, it is about a distraction, and a distraction from the fact that democrats have failed in their response to covid. you look at the two kings, governor newsom and california are probably going to get recalled, and governor cuomo facing a federal investigation for killing at least 15,000 seniors with his failed policies, and then trying to cover it up. so that is what they are trying to distract from, and that is why they are coming forward with the sexual harassment

this thing with cuomo, cuomo is nothing. the fact that he murdered senior citizens, that's the problem.or when both democrats in congressn at least the senate called for investigation, when a ation? representative from the congress from new york calls for his investigation, when you have state legislators calling for his resignation, isn't that b worthy of investigation? >> it's politics.y a are p can't you get it? they are not playing by a rulebook, they are playing by their democratic playbook. as far cuomo has fallen into disfavor with his group. if he is going to resign for anything it should have been the senior citizens, not because he tried to get fresh. >> harry from pittsburgh, pennsylvania. republican line. you're next. >> i think they will investigate this but i don't know where it's going to go. we are in this #metoo movement. this guy sent 9,000 people to their deaths and he's on his brothers show joking that he's single and ready to mingle. is he eligible to be jailable? they're a couple of clowns, and he'll ge

get a crack at cuomo? >> i would like to hear his justification for policies in the lives of thousands of people in nursing homes the lockton policies nationally receive 192 excess deaths last year that can be explained by covid or natural mortality that is a bill for these lockdowns, the suicide domestic, drug and alcohol related deaths, delayed health screenings and treatments of poverty related deaths, there is a lot the left tends to answer for it doesn't surprise me when we sweep all the under the rug by looking over here at the sexual harassment charges of cuomo involving several women. elizabeth: this is a historic time that were living through in the decision-making should be looked at by congress in hearings on the decisions that were made that her people and put millions of people outut of work. let's turn back to the border i would like you to listen to democrats flip-flopping the used to be tough i on aborting illegl immigration now they say there's no border crisis and even border state democr

cuomo cars, cuomo savings. isn't that right, former yankees third baseman scott brosius? "today is monday." "now that's a home run." again, i get why we found him reassuring i did, too i did, too it was a scary time and there was a leadership void and he stepped into it. there were times when i genuinely did not know what day it was it's not like i was grabbing a newspaper on my daily commute to the attic. the same controlling authoritarian tendencies cuomo has displayed throughout his career also made him a commanding presence when everyone was desperate for one and as a result, he turned himself into a tv star he won an emmy, wrote a bestselling book, stirred speculation that he might run for president or become joe biden's attorney general, and earned a nickname that was super cringey at the time, and in retrospect, so much worse >> the governor of new york, andrew cuomo he has been front and center, right, during this pandemic. holding coronavirus briefings during the week, talking to, updating the country lately he has been asked by many including his own brother, cn

washington post, cmn, we know -- cnn, we know anchor chris cuomo had cuomo on ten times. glowing media pressers. your reaction. >> obviously, they were rooting for andrew cuomo because he was the anti-trump. he was the fatherly figure who could do an excellent powerpoint presentation that was really comforting the nation when president trump wasn't when, again, president trump was the one that gave him all the resources that he'd need while cuomo was engaged in a cover-up because he had a big book advance coming. and if it was reported that, boy, he really screwed up the nursing home situation and 15,000 people died, suddenly that goes away. we have a money trail here as well. either way, i don't think he survives the month at this point because the media and democrats have turned the against him, and he probably will now be impeached because the numbers are there. elizabeth: okay. joe concha, come back soon. love having you on. >> have a great weekend, bye. elizabeth: sure. coming up, california congressman tom mcclintock with more reaction on cuomo. also the democrats'

included his own brother chris cuomo, his own sister, and cuomo's allies. even democrat angelo santabarbara is furious. he is ready to go. >> i will never forget being in the white house, every single day we had that cuomo press conference and then president trump would come on later in the afternoon with his press conference and we were constantly compared to governor cuomo who was the wonder boy, the gold star person, the person leading the way on the pandemic. we were constantly compared to him as a benchmark when now we know what was going on behind the scenes. not only this, preferential testing his vaccines are now reportedly bullying people saying how favorable they were to cuomo before giving out vaccines this is incredible. when you compare that to president trump where when the vaccines came, he said no. my west wing, most people are not getting it. i didn't get access to a vaccine. others didn't get access to a vaccine before the american public. president trump waited to get it because he prioritized american people. chris cuomo was being prefer

the cuomo track record is not new. long before this, i've been following this family since his father. the hubris of these two men, i spoke to police officers, i spoke with them from their point of view, who knew them from the younger years, that builds the character who we're dealing with today. sexual allegations i believe in the justice system. i believe they should be investigated for any american. i'm not going to prejudge him just like he prejudged justice kavanaugh or others. let's deal with this from a law enforcement perspective but democrats in my estimation refer they deal with the sexual harrassment charges rather than deal with dead people in new york as a result of this governor's decisions. liz: well it is interesting what you just said. let's stay own the due process part of it. cuomo is saying, let the investigation go to its conclusion but when attorney general eric schneiderman was caught in a sexual harrassment scandal, cuomo said he immediately said he should resign. cuomo said brett kavanaugh shou

elizabeth: new york governor andrew cuomo sexual-harassment scandal wet next level at third woman stepped forward new york lawmakers demand he resigned his accusers that he's not taking responsibility for his predatory behavior, with us tonight top republican james comer, david webb, guyia reschenthaler, jame, and sheriff markland on today's top stories we have more on the cuomo scandal in d.c. democrats now rattled accused of staying silent for too long on cuomo when they were so quick out-of-the-box to condemn people like al franken and justice brett kavanaugh cuomo was among the crowd and democrats staying silent ignoring republican demand to investigate cuomo's alleged cover-up of nursing home deaths not just in new york's and for other democrat run states as well it is getting cold and quiet up there on the democrat royal high ground california governor gavin newsom getting blasted for tweeting the texas governor greg abbott is absolutely reckless for lifting texas mask mandate that is controversial he's opening texas 100% mississippi fully reopening to, this is what's happening crit

we are first to see governor cuomo. >> sandra: governor andrew cuomo william banting -- governor andrew cuomo will be holding a briefing any moment now. i am sandra smith. >> john: i am john roberts. we last saw the governor on camera last week at a vaccination sight this queens. hasn't had a briefing since february 19th. 2 former aides accusing him of sexual harassment and another woman said he made unwanted advances to her. >> sandra: 21 new york lawmakers are calling for cuomo to resign and 7 are calling for his impeachment. a republican congressman from new york will discuss this and more since his first tv interview since he announced he is exploring a run for new york governor next year. >> john: first, brian, this is billed as a coronavirus news conference. i am not sure you would expect cuomo would make a big announcement on stepping down as he is about to brief on covid-19. >> i think that's right. new york is run by a democratic state legislature. there is a ton of pressure on the democrats to speak out against cuomo on the sexual harassment as well as the nursing home scandal

elizabeth: resigned governor cuomo, governor cuomo's got to go, cuomo, resign, now. elizabeth: you looking at footage at heated protests outside of cuomo's office joining the now former federal prosecutor jim trusty. andrew cuomo growing because he should resign dozens of lawmakers said he needs to step down what was your reaction when he saw the new york times reporting the cuomo team censored and altered his statement to cover-up and hide thousands of nursing home deaths because they were alarmed the numbers would make him look bad and they went along because they feared for the jobs, what do you think of the story? >> that the primary crisis in the two front war on how he handled the nursing home scandal, the scandal of the treatment of vulnerable adults in theul other front which is te treatment of female under lanes and is not handling the crisis very well on either type it but what strikes me about this information leaking out to the h new york times how he was understating the figures it's a greater strength of conspiracies that they rely in the greatest vulne

governor cuomo is denying the investigations. nbc's lindsey reiser is following the developments in new york city. >> reporter: alicia, seven women have come forward accusing the governor of inappropriate conduct. state lawmakers have opened an impeachment investigation. also the most egregious allegation first reported by "the times union" has now been transferred to albany police. the newspaper, which first reported this, citing someone with direct knowledge of the woman's story, reports that cuomo allegedly groped a young female staffer at the governor's mansion when she was helping him with his phone. this is after another allegation was levied yesterday by a journalist. cuomo vehemently denies all these allegations. he was on a press call i was on yesterday before senators schumer and gillibrand released their joint statement. he was defiant. he said he wasn't going to bow down to cancel culture and he said that some might have different motivation for levying those allegations. to that point, one of his accusers, lindsey bo

i'm not one to defend andrew cuomo. i think some of the coverage of andrew cuomo has distracted from what i think is a much bigger scandal, the nursing home scandal. i think andrew cuomo deserves due process. the context is super important. as these accusations mount, i'm not overly shocked that andrew cuomo is like a old news. it's not breaking news. what's important is that andrew cuomo probably was involved in something that resulted in thousands of elderly people's deaths and lied about it and covered it up and wrote a book about it. that i think it's something that could be one of the biggest state-based political scandals and modern political history. whether or not andrew cuomo is an archetype of the new york ruling class politician kind of acting like a pig. that's something that shouldn't overly surprise us. i want to focus on the nursing homes. >> emiy: that moral corruption is not necessarily limited to one lane. moving on, customs and border patrol is reportedly redeploying hundreds of agents to help with a

we have another cuomo scandal. there are calls for congressional probes mounting into the covid nursing home coverup of deaths related to his executive order and sexual harrassment, sexual assault allegation. a brand new scandal. como's covid czar accused of trying to leverage vaccines in returns of promise of loyalty to cuomo. we'll break the story down next. >> that is extremely significant. the list of members in the legislature, u.s. congress, u.s. senate, calling for his resignation growing consistently but this is the senior top elected officials that represent the democratic party in new york state. it cannot be overstated here. it is extremely significant. i'm sure the governor is extremely uncomfortable at the moment. a little differently. hey, i'll take one, please! wait, this isn't a hot-dog stand? no, can't you see the sign? wet. teddy. bears. get ya' wet teddy bears! one-hundred percent wet, guaranteed! or the next one is on me! only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ (d

. >> last summer chris cuomo was able to be the p.r. wing of andrew cuomo. the news turned bad now he has a conflict and interest and can't cover him. the fascinating part of the story is over the xher andrew cuomo was the foil to donald trump. horrible policy that you had 15,000 seniors dying in nursing homes democrats and media didn't want to cover it. they stepped away. now that donald trump is gone and cuomo has his sights on the white house they have to take him out. they can't use covid any longer. if they use that it's about democrats and all their policy and now they have to go with the scandal with women. >> harris: one with dead victims and the other with potentially other victims. president biden tradition and not mentioning dr. seuss in his proclamation on read across america today held every year on the beloved author's birthday. the omission comes after a virginia school district dropped dr. seuss books from today's celebration, a number of them, citing a study finding racial undertones in some of those books and now dr. seuss enterprises says

governor cuomo must resign. congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez and jamaa bowman said governor cuomo can no longer effectively lead in the face of so many challenges. >> trevor: that's right, no one wants anything to do with cuomo. aoc wants him to resign, schumer wants him to resign. his brother renamed his cnn show from cuomo prime time to just, it's just chris, okay, it's just chris. but yet many democrats say cuomo can no longer effectively lead new york and photos like this one aren't helping. if you are walking around outside wearing a blanket you don't luke like you are on top of things. you look like you either got saved from a drowning car and you live with 100 cats, or maybe his strategy is just to go in disguise. maybe that is what he is trying to do. andrew cuomo, no, i'm an old italian grandmother. nona maria. okay, granny, well, let's get you back into a nursing home. oh shit, that back fired. and remember, while all of this is going on new york is still in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic

in regards to andrew cuomo and the situation i remember watching andrew cuomo on cnn during chris cuomo's shows during the initial coronavirus when chris cuomo was ill and he was doing it and governor cuomo was calling him in and they were having a big show. i keep remembering that governor cuomo kept mentioning the fact that he was single and that he didn't really have anyone in his life at that point and that he had to go out by himself jogging and that he kind of indicated that he was looking for females. he kept saying it in many interviews with his brother. i kept wondering why the governor of new york was talking about needing a woman or a girlfriend or indicating that, it was awed. host: how do you relate that to the allegations after caller: i relate that to the fact that he seems as though he was trying to find a girlfriend. i'm not saying that makes the connection that he did something bad to other women, i'm just saying i have never seen a politician go one tv and start talking about wanting a girlfriend and lowly is me and all this other stuff. his brother chris would go on an

record under cuomo was leaked to the media after she accused cuomo. your take on this, go ahead. >> workers whether the public-sector private sector have privacy rights and it looks like the governor has been using a female aide to make phonend calls and call around and apparently with the records is despicable and actionable in a form of retaliation idaho please held accountable for the type of corruption and that's what it is we have laws on the books tohi protect from this type of unlawful conduct. elizabeth: at the same time he's being accused and he said he's flirtingst and joking and he was talking to one of his accusers about her sexual assault. he was talking to her if he would have intimacy with an older man, this does not sound like joking and sounds like groomingik a worker same age as his daughter. could this be anywhere near this? >> it's not even a close call it's illegal to do the misconduct he's accused of for decades and theat united states this is the type of thing that women used to have to put up with in the madman days and it was

cuomo said he denies that he ever acted inappropriately. >> cuomo is saying he deserves due process as stated lawmakers and attorney general pursue independent investigations. shannon. >> shannon: from that point, we can agree, lauren, thank you. as new york's top congressional democrats calling for cuomo to resign, president biden remains on the sidelines. kevin corke is tracking the latest reaction from washington tonight. good evening, kevin. >> good evening, shannon sometimes it's what you don't say that speaks volumes quite frankly. joe biden yet to comment on the surrounding allegations involving cuomo but today the press secretary did. and her take on biden's viewpoint was illuminating. speak with the president believes that every woman who has come forward deserves to have her voice heard. should be treated with respect and to tell her story. think of it as a window into mr. biden's thinking as it relates to governor cuomo. calling him to step down, welcome at the moment a bridge too far for this white house. but not for growing number of democrats, a list which now includes do

governor andrew cuomo has a right to defend himself, while others out there are saying, look, cuomo accusedlo everybody else before the facts came out, so maybe he should resign. there are a lot of people very upset about how he handled the covidd situation, and they still believe there needs to be a deep investigation into the nursing home deaths, and now, with a third accuser out, well, it's all on cuomo now. >> sean: all right, sara, thank you. appreciate your report tonight. one thing is clear. some of the biggest i-believers and the democratic party, the loudest i-believers are nowhere to be found, including the so-called leaders in the white house. vice president harris, do you know longer believe? here with the reaction from a former senior advisor to the trump campaign, larry trump. before i get to this, i have a lot of friends in north carolina. i mean, a lot of friends. you were born and raised in north carolina. now, your name keeps coming up as a potential senate candidate for this seat that is now open for 2022. are you considering possibly running? >> yeah, well, i absolutely am

governor cuomo denied that. bennett told "the new york times" that when she was working for the governor last year at the height of the covid-19 pandemic, he initiated conversations with her about her dating life and asked if age mattered, and said he was open to dating anyone above 22. governor cuomo issued a statement, apologizing, saying i now understand may have been insensitive or too personal and some of my comments given my position made others feel in ways i never intended. bennett refused to accept the apology, saying the governor never acknowledged or took responsibility for his predatory behavior. and now new reporting from jesse mckinley in "the new york times," tells the story of anna ruck, who is 30 years younger than the governor and met him at a new york city wedding in 2017. she has never worked for governor cuomo but worked in the obama administration and the biden campaign. the "times" reports the governor was working the room after toasting the newlyweds, and came upon miss ruch, now 33, she

cover cuomo politically. so let's be clear. we're now looking at overwhelming evidence of potential criminalality. this appears to have been done to avoid not just scrutiny from the public, but to obstruct a possible federal investigation because as the journal also reported, the department of justice had begun seeking data from new york and other states last august, and remember, at the same time cuomo hid the nursing home data, he was writing his book an coronavirus response and it received such praise from the media mob. the time for transparency and accountability was long ago, and it's now time for the governor to be held accountable, stop deflecting, stop distracting, storm blaming, everyone but himself. here with reaction, fox news contributor joe and lisa, along with robin -- whose mother-in-law died of coronavirus while in the nursing home. robin, i can't even begin to understand completely the pain, not only of losing a loved one, but then realizing what's now happened here, and now learning that it

governor cuomo apologized. he said he was being misinterpreted over his flirtations and today he said he will not resign. your reaction? >> this is a critical time in our state w this governor in office a dark cloud hangs over our state capital. historically difficult for us to do the important work we need to do at our state capital. the governor is no stranger to the laws on sexual harrassment, saying he didn't know is unacceptable. sexual harrassment is defined by law, what he has said, what he has admitted to is enough for me to say that he should resign at this point to let our state move forward. elizabeth: so you, his approval rating just right now, you see it there, it is plummeting. you're voting along with other new york democrat lawmakers to strip him of his pandemic related emergency powers by friday, right? to your point about the sexual harrassment law, he signed into law two years ago a new sexual harrassment law for new york state that dramatically lowers the bar for what constitutes sexual harr

>> cuomo's book was boo boosting cuomo. he want ad job in biden presidency. his new hampshireed policies in nursing homes got thousands killed. we can't let those people be forgetten. the democrats don't want to own up to this because the scandal is bigger than cuomo. new jersey, pens vang, michigan, adopterring same people, covid positive patients back into nursing homes when thousands died around the country. democrats definitely want this to go away. elizabeth: got it. ford o'connell, thanks for joining us appreciate it. coming up fox news contributor jason chaffetz, media critics, including abc news and "the washington post," president biden lack of accountability there, unchecked power. the first president in a century not to let reporters ask him questions at a press conference. not even nixon, reagan, trump, not the prior 15 presidents is doing what biden is now doing. the story next. >> not only coming off of a president who was one of the most accessible presidents even though he often sparred with reporters, taking questions all the time, president

. >> dana: today we're learning more about another controversial action by new york governor cuomo. he also ordered homes for the developmentally disabled to take in covid patients last april and never reversed the directive. bryan llenas, what else can you tell us? >> good morning. around the same time cuomo's administration ordered nursing homes to readmit covid-19 hospital patients, the administration also ordered that homes for people with developmental disabilities also accept these covid patients. like you said, that order was never rescinded. ultimately 552 people with developmental disabilities have died of coronavirus in these homes. new york state republicans like senator want answers. i'm deeply concerned the april 10 order from the office for people with development disabilities needlessly put some of our most vulnerable citizens in harm's way. amid these compounding scandals yesterday new york state republicans introduced a resolution to impeach governor cuomo. >> the real problem now is the governor has lost so much credibility and trust we don't feel he can go forward

cuomo team tried to intimidate into silence cuomo's accusers, how does cuomo's team keep their day job, this would not be allowed on the private sector to republicans, lee zeldin say the world health organization is china's useful idiots for downplaying the possibility that the covid-19 virus leaked out of the laboratory in china even former bill clinton ripped the w.h.o. and their investigation is very unserious senator kitty same biden's people need to get off the train to trump town and get the w.h.o. to go back in and reinvestigate or the world will be at risk from china. thank you for joining us, i'm elizabeth macdonald and "the evening edit" starts right now. elizabeth: we begin with senator ron johnson the chair of homeland security and multiple other committees, he has joined senators at the border last week we are so glad to see you and have you on the show, welcome th the show president biden and his team are saying there's no problem at the border, move along there is no there there. >> hello, they are in complete denial, this is the worst crisis i've seen of the border sinc

that is andrew cuomo. but i don't think we will get an honest answer from him because he didn't give honest answers about the nursing home scandal and he tried to cover it up to protect royalties from the book. he tries to pretend he knows nothing about sexual harassment or the allegations, it's hard for anyone to believe him. i want to remember this. all seven of the women and perhaps more, they are someone's daughter and granddaughter. it outrages me as a male, as a man that someone takes advantage of a woman. when i heard what leslie said a moment ago, my heart broke because she like so many other women have been taken advantage of. they have been treated like property. like somebody's toy. that makes me angry that someone treats another human being that way and thinks they have the right to do that. god help us when we don't angrily speak out against this behavior. we demand some accountability. if he is not going to be honest, let the investigation prove if he is innocent or not but i don't think he w

the first accuser to speak out against cuomo, lindsay boylan, and the lawyer for the second of cuomo's accusers charlotte bennett, both of them have raised issues with this law firm picked by the new york state assembly which we should note is run by the democratic party. >> reporter: yeah, that's right. not each just those two accusers, jake, but a lot of people on social media because they noticed a conflict of interest. now, that law firm was announced by the speaker today as davis, pope and wardel law firm and the notable thing is that a member of the law firm, a partner for decades, was a person or is a person who is close to cuomo, has been appointed to several board positions in the state by cuomo, is also married to the chief judge in this state janet difiori who you remember the governor tried to get her to oversee the investigation that the attorney general now has in her hands. there's a lot of questions as to why exactly this law firm was pirksd and like you said charlotte bennett's attorney came out and said, you know, she may not participate in this investigation. she has

cuomo prioritized his top corporate donors overstated lives. his administration emitted to deliberately withholding data. i believe he did this for two reasons. one,t would make him look at. two, to prevent the repeal of the toxic poison bill which he bullied, forced his way into the last hours, a five thousand page budget, but which shielded nursing home executives at the cost of people's lives. for this, he needs to be held accountable. 15,000 families deserve justice. juan: and it was the same legislation that was then copied by many other states around the country and even the republicans have been seeking immunity on a much broader scale for other companies as well. is that not right? >> that's right. it became the industry -- immediately after it was passed by the governor, bribing -- bragging. they took it down after we call them out. they literally clicked copy and paste, word for word. mitch mcconnell took word for word and try to put it into the washington stimulus package. luckily in washington, there are a lot more people watching i
