Fox News host Jeanine Pirro slammed Vice President Kamala Harris for refusing to speak publicly about the mounting number of sexual harassment allegations against New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. Pirro suggested that the nation’s top female political figure should have a more active role in advocating on behalf of his accusers.
Pirro’s remarks came at the end of her weekly segment of Justice With Judge Jeanine with this week’s episode focusing on the growing controversy surrounding Cuomo. Earlier, another woman came forward with claims against the governor of sexual harassment and inappropriate behavior making a total of seven women who have made similar accusations over the past several weeks.
"A woman who stands up for all women unless they are accusing a member of her political party unless it works to her political benefit…this is certainly not the kind of woman we need running this country as President." #CLOSINGSTATEMENT pic.twitter.com/9Prc65Gg9M

Numerous Democratic and Republican figures have spoken out on the severity of Cuomo’s alleged actions and are calling for his resignation. Thus far, Harris has had nothing to say about the allegations. Pirro lashed out at the vice president as the first woman and the first person of color to assume such a position, for not doing more.
Pirro called Harris a “fraud,” a “phony” and “a woman without a moral core” while condemning the vice president for not addressing the Cuomo scandal or articulating support for his resignation.
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki discussed President Biden’s position during a briefing last week.
“The President believes that every woman who’s come forward — there have now been six, I believe, who have come forward — deserves to have her voice heard, should be treated with respect, and should be able to tell her story,” said Psaki. “There also is an independent investigation that is ongoing, of course, in the state, with subpoena power overseen by the attorney general, and he certainly supports that moving forward.”
