Andrew Cuomo announced on Tuesday that he would resign as New York governor after an attorney general’s investigation concluded that he had sexually harassed at least 11 women.

In his resignation speech, Cuomo maintained that he had not touched anyone inappropriately, dancing around the allegations and pushing the blame away.
