The liberal comedian and commentator kicked off his “Real Time with Bill Maher” show Friday night with a recap of “Day 4 of the Andrew Cuomo death watch”.

“The report came back. Yeah, sleaze, ”Maher said to the audience’s laughter. “Democrats are ditching it like it’s made of gluten.”

Cuomo has faced growing calls for resignation since New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) released an independent investigation report finding the governor sexually harassed several women, some of whom worked for him .

A woman in the report, who has been identified as “Executive Assistant No. 1,” filed a criminal complaint with the Albany County Sheriff’s Office, which means he could face misdemeanor charges.

Maher continued the conversation later in the episode with commentators Malcolm Nance and Ben Shapiro, asking his guests why Cuomo wouldn’t leave of his own free will rather than wait for the impeachment process to unfold.

Shapiro responded by saying Cuomo was taking “the Ralph Northam bet,” referring to the Virginia governor scandal after photos of him wearing a blackface at a party decades ago resurfaced.

Maher said he thought Cuomo’s situation was worse than Northam’s, asking “what’s worse, a blackface at a party in 1980 – not cool – or actually sexually harassing women in 2021 and who are working under you?

Nance then said Cuomo was “going full Trump,” adding, “You know, when Joe Biden tells you to go, it’s time to go.”

Maher responded by saying that Cuomo should go, adding that he is “not Donald trumpDonald Trump: At Least 20 Kinds Of Gifts Missing From State Department Vault. ”

“Because Donald Trump is a city cockroach and nothing can kill him. This guy isn’t, he should go, ”Maher said.
