Assemblyman Vito Lopez hasn’t got many allies left.
Cuomo today joined the chorus of voices demanding Lopez, also the boss of the Brooklyn Democratic Party, to resign.
“These are serious allegations and if true, the governor believes he should resign.”
The strong words came as even Lopez’s traditional stronghold of support — the Thomas Jefferson Democratic Club — sought his ouster.
Club leaders are going to ask him not to run for reelection as party chairman next month.
Speaker Sheldon Silver stripped him of post as chair of the housing committee, banned from other leadership positions, cut his staff and forbade him to hire anyone under 21.
Already, Sen. Charles Schumer, Rep. Jerrold Nadler, Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer, Public Advocate Bill de Blasio and Council Speaker Christine Quinn have called on Lopez to resign.
And, more former employees are telling stories about his reprehensible behavior.
