Critics: Two weeks? Get the hell out NOW!

Critics are demanding that Gov. Cuomo leave office immediately instead of waiting two weeks to step down — and they aren’t buying his claim that the delay is due to the pandemic.

Former Manhattan US Attorney Preet Bharara said he was “taken aback” by Cuomo’s exit date.

“I hope there’s nothing nefarious about the 14 days, but it strikes me as too long a period,” Bharara said.

State Sen. Andrew Gounardes (D-Brooklyn) told The Post, “I think the easiest, best and cleanest thing for the governor to do right now is to make his resignation immediate.”

The fovernor’s spokesman, Rich Azzopardi, had claimed the delay is “to ensure an orderly transition at this critical time where the key decisions still remain on COVID-19, the Delta variant and other significant challenges facing the state.”

“I don’t know what ‘key decisions’ they might be referring to. I think with the expiration of the emergency powers, there aren’t any key decisions left to be made,” Gounardes said, citing the state Legislature’s move in March to strip Cuomo of the nearly unchecked authority he enjoyed during the height of the pandemic.

“I would be very concerned about the governor trying to spend the next few weeks trying to manipulate the levers of the government in some way, shape or form — either ram something through or install allies in key positions,” Gounardes said.

A source with inside knowledge of the governor’s thinking said, “The only reason he’s doing 14 days is his need to control the process as much as possible.”

Women’s groups blasted Cuomo for taking his time.

“Governor Cuomo should not serve another day in office. Plain and simple,” said Heidi Sieck, head of #VOTEPROCHOICE.

“His long history of duplicity and using feminist talking points to hide deep corruption must come to an end.”
