A farewell speech by New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is broadcast live on a screen in Times Square on his final day in office in Manhattan, New York City, August 23, 2021. In his final public remarks as governor, Cuomo complained about what he called the unfairness of the state investigation that concluded he sexually harassed women who worked for him. "You know me: I am a fighter, and my instinct is to fight this, because it is unfair and unjust in my mind," he said in pre-recorded remarks. But he had decided not to, he said, because "prolonging this situation could only cause governmental paralysis." REUTERS/Andrew Kelly
