Five women have now come forward and accused New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo of sexual harassment and inappropriate conduct. Four of them used to work with him closely, which makes their accounts all the more credible. But the governor refuses to resign because he knows no one will make him.

“That’s democracy. There’s no way I resign,” Cuomo said on Sunday. “People are free to make allegations, but then you also have a process — due process — where people get the facts, and they make a determination. I was the attorney general of New York for four years. I got all sorts of allegations against politicians.”
