Fox News host Tucker Carlson ripped into New York Governor Andrew Cuomo Wednesday night, following an explosive report highlighting his history of repeated sexual misconduct.
"It’s always the people you most suspect," said Tucker Carlson, "Andrew Cuomo is every bit as creepy as you thought he was. According to New York’s Attorney General, Andrew Cuomo will grope anything. His staff. State troopers. Al Gore. He even ogled his own Emmy statue."
Following the release of Attorney General Letitia James’ 165 page report, two lawyers and 179 people interviewed later uncovered Cuomo sexually harassed 11 women.

"It was a big story, but it didn’t get any of the coverage on television, [or] at least on the show anchored by his brother on CNN. Instead, Chris Cuomo attacked Ron DeSantis," laughed Tucker. "There’s a governor we can hate," he said sarcastically.
"And then, Don Lemon took over. After telling his friend Chris he loved him, he unsheathed the knife," said Tucker, who left no stones unturned as he called for Governor Andrew Cuomo to resign.
"They all seemed so surprised that there’s something wrong with Andrew Cuomo," said Tucker, "they had no idea."
Conservative commentator Matt Walsh joined the show to convey his surprise or lack thereof to hear about Governor Cuomo’s misgivings. "Andrew Cuomo’s excuse is that he’s a creepy pervert to everybody in public, so we shouldn’t be surprised," he said.
Walsh added, "Another reason is this is a guy who killed thousands of elderly people. He condemned them to their deaths by locking them in their rooms and in buildings where people are infected with the disease… in nursing homes."
"The media knew that way back when they were talking about how they were 'Cuomosexuals,'" said Walsh, "going on and on and on about how great he was… We can say it’s bad to kill elderly people and to flirt with women who aren’t consenting to it."
"That’s true, but one is so much worse," he said. "The fact this is what takes [Andrew Cuomo] down I think says a lot about the media and our society."
"I am putting forward the possibility that maybe killing thousands of old people in your state is probably a little bit worse than making inappropriate comments," he said. "I’ve read the report, [and] he called some of the women on his staff "single mamas" — really, really horrific things — but even so, the primary thing that should provoke our outrage is the fact he is a known killer of the elderly."
Tucker chuckled sarcastically that "Tweaking feminist sensibility is worse than murder."
He then asked Walsh his thoughts on what this debacle is really about, citing a lack of sincerity among Democrat leaders.
"Originally, I thought this was their way of distracting from the nursing home scandal as they’d rather talk about this than that because the nursing home scandal implicates a lot of other Democrat governors who did the exact same thing," said Walsh. "Whatever the reason is, it’s nothing good."
Tucker ended his segment with Walsh by stating Andrew Cuomo’s eventual replacement would be worse. "That’s a big statement, considering how awful he is."
"Bill de Blasio is the Mayor of New York City, so that’s the level of leadership we have, and he happens to be worse than Andrew Cuomo," replied Walsh.
"That’s always the argument winner — two words: De Blasio," concluded Tucker.
According to the report, investigators obtained internal documents and communications that revealed Chris Cuomo, along with numerous other advisors, counseled the governor to "express contrition" in the wake of Charlotte Bennett's allegations being published in late February.
Portions of lines proposed by Chris Cuomo were reportedly used in the governor's February 28 statement.
"Questions have been raised about some of my personal interactions with people in my office," Chris Cuomo reportedly wrote in an email communication, according to The Hill. "I spend most of my life at work and colleagues are often also personal friends. I never intended to offend anyone or cause any harm."

US Democrats nationwide called for the governor to resign, including the speaker of New York’s Assembly and the Democrat Senate Majority leader. Tucker was stunned they had no idea he was a "creep."
Carl Heastie, the speaker of the Democrat-led New York Assembly, authorized an impeachment investigation into Cuomo’s conduct and called the report’s findings "disturbing." She said they reflect "someone who is not fit for office."
State Senator Andrea Stewart-Cousins, the Senate majority leader, said the report detailed "unacceptable behaviour" and called on Cuomo to "resign for the good of the state." She added: "Now that the investigation is complete and the allegations have been substantiated, it should be clear to everyone that he can no longer serve as Governor."
