WATCH: Bill Maher Asks Cuomo Point-Blank ‘Did You Ever Actually Grope Anyone?’

Comic and pundit Bill Maher asked former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo point-blank “Did you ever actually grope anybody?” with his former chief lieutenant Melissa DeRosa sitting beside him.

On Friday night’s edition of HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher, the comic’s panel guests were Fox News host Jessica Tarlov and podcaster Scott Galloway, and his interview guests were Cuomo andDeRosa, author of the new book “What’s Left Unsaid: My Life at the Center of Power, Politics & Crisis.”

Derosa’s book addresses many of the scandals that plagued Cuomo, including the sexual misconduct allegations included in a report from New York Attorney General Letitia James office that concluded he sexually harassed eleven women, which led to his resignation.

At one point, Maher confronted Cuomo about some of the more serious allegations:

BILL MAHER: You know, I’m glad that there was a MeToo movement. It was a necessary corrective, obviously. I also don’t want to live in the Soviet Union. “He kissed me on the cheek.” I remember when the kiss on the cheek was the defense before I didn’t do anything wrong. Kissed me on the cheek in a sexual manner. I don’t know how you do that. Kiss me on both cheeks while we were looking at flood damage. I mean, it’s just. Some of it is just silly. And then there’s others that are like, you, said, you groped them, like you actually groped.

ANDREW CUOMO: Serious accusation. Went to the district attorney.

BILL MAHER: Right. Well, nobody there’s no party in the room. So I’m just asking you, looking you in the eye, eye contact. Did you ever actually grope anybody?

ANDREW CUOMO: The no short answer? No. And even that story was problematic. And that’s why the district attorney didn’t bring a case. Five district attorneys went all through this, didn’t bring a single case.
