Cuomo Brags About Gun Control Record In Resignation Address

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is officially out. It seems that even the love and support of the Democratic faithful isn’t enough to protect you from sexual harassment allegations unless your last name is “Clinton.” Yet the disgraced governor did plenty of damage before he was gone, including the passage of a number of gun control measures.

In fact, those seem to be among his proudest accomplishments, at least based on his resignation speech.

Outgoing New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo aired a defiant, pre-recorded farewell address in his final hours in office Monday, highlighting his accomplishments while suggesting he’s the victim of a “political firecracker” that derailed his governmental career.

A Democrat, Cuomo is set to resign at the end of Monday, clearing the way for Lt. Gov. Hochul to become the state’s 57th governor at 12:01 a.m. Tuesday.
Cuomo’s voluntary resignation comes three weeks after an investigation led by state Attorney General Letitia James’s office concluded Cuomo sexually harassed 11 women while in office, including nine current or former state employees.
