Did Cuomo give a genuine apology?
And indeed, Christopher Melcher made many of the same assessments.
According to him, Cuomo’s speech demonstrated a blatant inability to take accountability for his actions.
Cuomo failed to take accountability for his actions and blamed everybody but himself.
“That is not an apology.”
“It is no wonder that women are afraid of making accusations against powerful men, when Gov.
Cuomo attempted to use his position to publicly discredit an accuser.”
Melcher touched on this notion, as well, saying, “Gov.
Cuomo said he loves New York, and that everything he has done is for New York.
But he held onto power as all support around him eroded and calls for his resignation forced him out.
Per the New York Attorney General report, Gov.
Cuomo sought to humiliate and undermine one of his accusers, which showed a lack of character.”
