New York State Assemblyman Mike Lawler of the 97th Assembly District said the following on the allegations against Cuomo
🚨🚨 It is clear that @NYGovCuomo is unable to discharge his duties any longer. Today’s allegations by @LindseyBoylan reveal a pattern of predatory sexual behavior that have no place in society, let alone the highest office of government in our state. 🧵

.@LizKrueger @NYSenatorRivera you previously called for an investigation into allegations of sexual harassment against Jeff Klein. Will you join me in calling for an investigation into @LindseyBoylan’s allegations against @NYGovCuomo? It needs to be independent & immediate.
