New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio called for Gov. Andrew Cuomo to step down on Thursday amid a flurry of sexual harassment allegations against the governor that have drawn bipartisan condemnation.

“It’s deeply troubling,” de Blasio said during a press briefing. “The specific allegation that the governor called an employee of his, someone who he had power over, called them to a private place and then sexually assaulted her is absolutely unacceptable to me.”
