<p>Journalist Chris Cuomo revealed Monday that he called former President Donald Trump after the second assassination attempt against him, saying he is &#8220;ashamed&#8221; of the &#8220;unacceptable&#8221; reaction from the media.</p>
<p>The former CNN host, who anchored a show at the network for eight years until 2021, made the remarks on his primetime NewsNation show Monday night.</p>
<p>&#8220;The reaction is unacceptable,&#8221; Cuomo said. &#8220;Media and political players have gotten away with playing down what should be a cause for panic.&#8221;</p>
<p>On Sunday, Trump was targeted by a suspect who pointed an AK-47-style rifle through a fence at Trump&#8217;s West Palm Beach golf course. Secret Service opened fire on the suspect, who fled but was later arrested. Trump remained safe and unharmed during the incident.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">We all know what is wrong with our politics and us as a people. How do we get to a better place? I don&#39;t know what sets us right but I know damn well what is wrong. Thoughts? <a href="https://t.co/YOjMk9A5MW">pic.twitter.com/YOjMk9A5MW</a></p>
<p>&mdash; Christopher C. Cuomo (@ChrisCuomo) <a href="https://twitter.com/ChrisCuomo/status/1835845664833437904?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 17, 2024</a></p></blockquote>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&#8220;&#8216;Oh but the guy didn&#8217;t even shoot.&#8217; What if it was your father? Or what if it was Kamala Harris or President Biden, God forbid?&#8221; Cuomo said. &#8220;Do you think that it would be almost a shoulder shrug and more talk about the Secret Service and allocation of funds than just how crazy it is that this is what&#8217;s happening in our country?&#8221;</p>
<p>Cuomo also slammed the &#8220;fake concern by our sitting president and almost nothing from the Democrat who wants to lead us.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I called former President Trump,&#8221; Cuomo said. &#8220;I didn&#8217;t ask him any questions. I didn&#8217;t go after him about his role. I just want to know how his family&#8217;s taking this.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I wanted to just say, listen, I&#8217;m really sorry that this is going on and it&#8217;s being dealt with this way,&#8221; Cuomo continued. &#8220;Not because I&#8217;m in favor of his politics or what he says. I criticize him all the time. That&#8217;s my job, and he deserves it. But he doesn&#8217;t deserve this, a guy pointing an AK-47 at him while he&#8217;s playing golf? And we take solace in the fact that the guy didn&#8217;t get any rounds off? That does not work for me. If I had been through what that guy has been through in the last two months you would not know where I am. You would never see me on TV again. No way I would do that. I don&#8217;t know how he does it. He&#8217;s got kids that are adults, but he&#8217;s got grandkids. He&#8217;s got a wife.&#8221;</p>

<p>Cuomo also said critics should apologize to Trump&#8217;s wife, Melania, for mocking her fears about plots against her husband.</p>
<p>Last week, Don Lemon, another former CNN anchor, <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/fox-news-hsots-mock-don-lemon-melania-trump-1953542" target="_blank" rel="noopener">posted</a> a video of himself rolling his eyes and criticizing a video of Melania Trump expressing concerns about the &#8220;horrible and distressing experience&#8221; of watching her husband be nearly assassinated.</p>
<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t think she&#8217;s right, but I totally get why she feels that way, and people mock her?&#8221; Cuomo said.</p>
<p>Cuomo added that the rhetoric around both candidates is overblown, saying Trump is not a &#8220;despot in waiting&#8221; and Vice President Kamala Harris is &#8220;not a communist.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;You can think what you want about Trump,&#8221; he said. &#8220;He does not have many more full-throated critics of what he says and does than me, okay? And yet I called him today because I am ashamed of how we are responding and not responding to the threats on him. And I feel for his family.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We are playing a dangerous game with ourselves, and we&#8217;re doing it for petty stakes,&#8221; Cuomo said.</p>
