New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) took a very...interesting approach in defending himself on Tuesday following a bombshell report from New York Attorney General Letitia James, which found the governor had sexually harassed multiple women while in office, including several aides and employees.
Most notably, Cuomo shared a rather bizarre montage of him kissing and hugging, well, anyone and everyone (including former President Bill Clinton) over the years. But what was likely an attempt at explaining away his controversial and inappropriate actions as a longstanding habit left some with more questions than answers.
