Andrew Cuomo resigned from office after allegations of sexual assault against his own female staff members were brought to the surface. Many people, including New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, believed Cuomo made the right decision by stepping down (via the New York Post). Baldwin did not share the sentiment of the city's mayor, however. He fired out a tweet the morning of Cuomo's resignation that read, "Regardless of what you think of Cuomo, this is a tragic day. Party politics in this country draw ambitious but ultimately isolated, even socially maladjusted men and women who, given the current cancel culture, will likely have their shortcomings exposed and magnified."

Some Twitter users agreed with the actor. One said, "this is a tragic day especially when this is clearly a political hit." While other users felt sympathy for the alleged victims of Cuomo, tweeting, "Abusive men are no longer going to be protected! Time for women to GET LOUD!!!!" Another user shared, "It is NEVER a tragic day when arrogant misogynists are exposed and are forced to resign. Those in public office need to set the right examples. Period."

If you or anyone you know has been a victim of sexual assault, help is available. Visit the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network website or contact RAINN's National Helpline at 1-800-656-HOPE (4673).
