New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) responded to a supporter on Monday, referring to her as “darling” and telling her he would not step down from his position.

“I love you and you better stay where you are, we’ve got your back,” a woman yelled to the embattled governor as he was entering a car. “We love you, we need you at the finish line, you better stay.”

With his mask down, Cuomo yelled back, “I’m staying!”

Before getting in the car Cuomo said, “Alright, I’m not going anywhere, darling.”

17. ROFL

One issue voter.

2. Probably not the best choice of words at this point in his careeer

13. He said it to a woman who professed "love" for him.

Not such a bad thing.

3. Thank you Gov Cuomo!!

He loves his city, it's people & all it took to keep the faith going during NY's Covid horror, unloaded on their City & State by a sociopathic madman.

Thank you Gov!!

4. The fact that this is newsworthy is really sad.

He’s not talking to a subordinate. He’s talking to a supporter. I’m sorry, but this is harmless.

I’m sure there is video of many people using the word “darling”.

Ava Gabor (“Green Acres”) comes to mind. It was her calling card.

5. I proudly am a full supporter of Andrew Cuomo

This fucking stuff is getting entirely out of control.. I hope the ongoing investigation gets to the bottom of who orchestrated this attempt at a take down.

14. Roger Stone.

Repaying Trump for the pardon, and setting up to try to elect a Qpublican governor in NY. Trump will need a pardon in NY because he's going to jail.

9. It can be cute to use

terms of affection. It can be comforting, esp. to those of use who did not grow up hearing them a lot from their parents, I love hearing them from men or women (depending on context of course--it's more common for older people to use them). These terms are not automatically sexist or harassing. Nor is touching someone on the back, etc. It depends on the intent of the person doing it.

20. precisely, and neither should Cuomo resign - not before a full investigation is done.

i believe everyone is entitled to due process, not innuendo.

6. How dare he call a woman darling. Off with his head!

[caber09]

7. Boylan is an accused harasser & bully by coworkers...in personnel reports

She made work a nightmare and toxic environment according to reports, she should resign/quit her Manhattan Boro Presidents race immediately, no questions asked!.....Say that to every person going after Cuomo, watch their attitudes toward "leaks" "reports" "irrelevant" change...they do complete 180s

[Nixie]

8. She's openly bullying other politicians and NY officials to impeach

Cuomo and using that as an applause line for her self-promoting rallies. She is accusing other people of doing what she is actually doing —- playing politics, but she’s couching it in “sexual harassment” accusations, which she obviously thinks make her untouchable. We see her.

10. At this moment I have no problem with his remaining until the next election when the voters can

make that decision if he does not wish to resign even though I might personally believe it might be a wiser decision for him to do so.

11. ya darn skippy buddy

stay and take the heat no matter how hot it gets!

[twodogsbarking]

15. He's stuck in 1985

and doesn't know it.

[Karma13612]

16. Full investigation first

I also support Cuomo and how he handled the COVID debacle.

His elevation to national stature wasn’t an accident or ill placed. He made me and a LOT of other New Yorkers feel really grounded when we were afraid to go to the store and get food. He showed leadership when it was lacking at the heart of our country.

I might be oversimplifying some of this but dammit, NY could have been in so much worse shape. He has kept the pandemic spread to a very low level compared to other states. And countries.

18. This is my pet peeve. Honey, darling, sweetie, dear and so on

are just such condescending terms when said to women by total strangers or service employees. Women feel just as comfortable using these terms as me. But you rarely, if ever, hear men called sweetie, honey, dear, etc.

19. Stay and Fight Cuomo

No more Al Franken setup.
