On Tuesday night, CNN’s Chris Cuomo interviewed two owners of a New Jersey gym who had been arrested for reopening their gym against laws regarding the coronavirus, and a <a href="http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/2008/04/CPT.01.html">heated confrontation</a> ensued, with one owner ripping Cuomo, saying, “You&#8217;re knocking Trump because of the total numbers,” and pointing out that “53.3 percent of the deaths from 0.6 percent of population” are “a f***ing stat that nobody&#8217;s talking about.”
Ian Smith and Frank Trumbetti, the owners of Atilis Gym, appeared with Cuomo, who began the interview by noting the pair had been arrested and “charged with defying the state&#8217;s COVID restrictions last week.” He played a videotape of the men kicking in the plywood barricade at the front door of their gym in order to reopen it.
Cuomo noted, “This is a court battle, they could go to jail. Now you have the state AG&#8217;s office there in Jersey recommending a fine of up to $10,000 a day.” He asked the men for their perspective on the issue.
“I would say that actually, when this first started, they asked for two weeks, Trumbetti replied. “When we first opened up, we gave them two months. Then we gave them until May 18th. And two months they had no plan. Plain and simple. They had no plan — we did. We actually wanted to prove that we could open up safe. They actually say that liquor stores are essential. That actually every place did. You can go into Home Depot and Lowe&#8217;s is essential. I disagree with that, OK. We&#8217;re all essential. Everybody is essential.”
“And bottom line is, this isn&#8217;t about opening up a gym; they have violated everyone&#8217;s constitutional rights,” he continued. “We all have the right to make a living. We all have a right to actually do what we want to do as Americans. We are promised liberty and they have actually put such oppressive restrictions on us, it is just unacceptable to us.”
“I would argue that the gym is a place to keep people safe,” Smith said. “This is this is a place where people come to build their immune systems, to build the strength of their body, physically on the outside and the inside. This is a place where people come to relieve stress. This is a place where we have soldiers that have served our country that come to deal with their PTSD. This is a place that we have recovering drug addicts who use this as an outlet. This is a place that saves lives. This is a place that creates health and fosters health.”
Trumbetti explained, “When you come into our gym, you actually stand in front of a biometric scanner that takes your temperature. You take a disinfected pen, you fill out a health questionnaire, just like you would in a doctor&#8217;s office. You take that pen and you put it in a dirty bin, so we can actually disinfect it.
“You&#8217;re handled up handed a bottle of a disinfectant that is actually from Ecolab that actually is proven to actually kill the coronavirus in 45 seconds when it&#8217;s diluted at four ounces per gallon,” he continued. “We actually have an air scrubber in here which is an auto. It&#8217;s a mobile decontamination unit that actually circulates approximately 10,000 cubic feet of air per minute through a UV light run by hydroxyl generators that provides 99.9 percent chemical free and virus free air.” He added, “Somehow walking into a facility that&#8217;s highly regulated, that has a 15-point safety protocol. That goes above and beyond what any business in the State of New Jersey, and I would argue any business in the country has done so far, you can&#8217;t get — you can get COVID just because what, there&#8217;s dumbbells in here?”
“You seem like you&#8217;re a big numbers guy,” Trumbetti said to Cuomo. “And, actually, I would like to put some numbers out there for you. Are you aware that actually when this first started, there are 2.1 million people in the United States in long-term care facilities that represent 0.6 percent of the population. But on July 17, that&#8217;s 0.6 percent of the population represented 53.3 percent of all the deaths that occurred in the United States from COVID.”
Cuomo stated, “What you&#8217;re saying about long-term care facilities, I&#8217;m not questioning it. We did the wrong job by the most vulnerable people. And even though, obviously, the oldest and the most fragile will die the most in a situation like this. It doesn&#8217;t mean you did it the right way. The only thing I would caution you about —”
“You&#8217;re knocking Trump because of the total numbers,” Trumbetti interjected, repeating, “53.3 percent of the deaths from 0.6 percent of population.”
Cuomo: Frank …
Trumbetti snapped, “Bottom line, that&#8217;s a f***ing stat that nobody&#8217;s talking about.”
Cuomo: Frank, watch your mouth on television.

CNN contributor Dr. Sanjay Gupta claimed without evidence on Monday night that the Trump administration deliberately minimized the COVID-19 pandemic &#8220;by not testing,&#8221; despite the fact that Johns Hopkins University &amp; Medicine <a href="http://archive.is/J7X9C#selection-233.4-233.66">says</a> the &#8220;U.S. has conducted more COVID-19 tests than any other country.&#8221;

Is there some science that&#8217;s proprietary? I mean, couldn’t we be buying up those kinds of tests right now, doc?&#8221;
&#8220;We should have been developing this ourselves, Chris.

But I think it was deliberate now at this point to not test, because it would make things look bad, we should have had significant breakthroughs in antigen testing by now.&#8221;
&#8220;It should be easy to know what your day is going to be like for the coronavirus as it would be looking at your phone for the weather,&#8221; Gupta added. &#8220;Do I have it? Do people around me have it? What&#8217;s the weather look like? What&#8217;s the coronavirus look like?&#8221;

Time&#8217;s 100 Most Influential People in the World &#8211; Red Carpet

CNN Doctor Claims ‘Deliberate’ Attempt By Trump To Minimize Pandemic ‘By Not Testing.’ U.S. Has Conducted Most Tests, John Hopkins Says.

On Thursday night, CNN anchor Chris Cuomo, speaking on his CNN show “Cuomo Prime Time,”  <a href="http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/2007/30/CPT.01.html">linked the death of former GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain</a> to President Trump&#8217;s Tulsa rally, noting that Cain attended a rally for Trump in Tulsa, Oklahoma, then charging, “Now, maybe he didn&#8217;t get it there. Sure, as hell didn&#8217;t help. May Herman Cain rest in peace. He fell ill not long after that rally in June, the one in Tulsa, Oklahoma. You see him not wearing a mask.” Cuomo later charged that Trump encouraged Cain &#8220;to go to a rally where nobody would socially distance and nobody would wear masks.”
Speaking to Chris Ruddy, the CEO of Newsmax, Cuomo brought up Herman Cain, saying, “I&#8217;m sorry about Herm. I&#8217;m sorry for his family and I&#8217;m sorry for his extended family. He had a lot of life left in front of him. And I&#8217;m sorry we lost him as soon as we did and how we did.”
Ruddy pointed out that Cain had been traveling quite a bit, stating:
<blockquote>Herman would — not want Americans to be sorry about his death. He loved America. He loved this country. He contributed to the very bitter end to this country and making it great and keeping it great. And so — and he was on borrowed time. You know, he had stage four cancer in 2006. He survived it. He beat it. And I think that was part of the thing. He was traveling all over the country. He thought he was invincible, and he wasn&#8217;t invincible. This virus is going around, and he was doing book signings and going out on film tours. And he was at the Tulsa rally, a number of things. And you just couldn&#8217;t stop the man. So, he was a force of nature, great American. And we will miss him.</blockquote>
Ruddy continued, “Herman Cain, I loved Herman Cain, but Herman Cain had cancer. He knew the risks. He still wanted to live life to the fullest. He still wanted to travel. He was on planes going all over the country. And it wasn&#8217;t the President of the United States to told him to travel. People that know.”
Cuomo took another shot at Trump, snapping, “Yes, but he encouraged him to go to a rally where nobody would socially distance and nobody would wear masks.”
After Cain&#8217;s death, Trump tweeted, &#8220;My friend Herman Cain, a Powerful Voice of Freedom and all that is good, passed away this morning. Herman had an incredible career and was adored by everyone that ever met him, especially me. He was a very special man, an American Patriot, and great friend. I just got off the phone with his amazing wife Gloria, daughter, Melanie, and son Vincent to express my deepest condolences to the entire family. <a class="css-4rbku5 css-18t94o4 css-901oao css-16my406 r-1n1174f r-1loqt21 r-1qd0xha r-ad9z0x r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0" dir="ltr" role="link" href="https://twitter.com/FLOTUS" data-focusable="true">@FLOTUS</a> Melania and I loved Herman Cain, a great man.

Herman Cain Meets With Donald Trump In New York

WATCH: Chris Cuomo Links Herman Cain’s Death To President Trump’s Tulsa Rally

Donald Trump

Herman Cain

Last month, CNN anchor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/chris-cuomo">Chris Cuomo</a> raised more than a few eyebrows when he argued on his show that <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-cnns-chris-cuomo-protests-dont-have-to-be-polite">protests do not have to be &#8220;peaceful,&#8221;</a> despite the U.S. Constitution specifying that citizens have the right to &#8220;peaceably&#8221; assemble.
“Now, too many see the protests as the problem,” he said “No, the problem is what forced your fellow citizens to take to the streets – persistent and poisonous inequities and injustice. And please, show me where it says that protests are supposed to be polite and peaceful. Because I can show you that outraged citizens are the ones who have made America what she is and led to any major milestones.”
“Be honest, this is not a tranquil time. They’re not here to make power, or you or me, comfortable. They’re here to yell, criticize, blame, and shame. You don’t have to like it. But why not focus on remembering the reason for the pain that fuels their purpose?” he continued. “Police are the ones who are required to be peaceful, to de-escalate, to remain calm. They are, in fact, trained to do exactly that. So, when one kneels on someone’s neck for a long time and other police don’t stop obvious deadliness, that’s the problem.”
Cuomo said this at the height of the riots, during which cities across America were burning at the hands of violent Antifa and BLM activists. Nearly two months later, Cuomo said on Monday that he was quoting the now-deceased civil rights icon John Lewis.
&#8220;Now, I was borrowing from Brother Lewis when I said, &#8216;Who says protests are supposed to be peaceful and quiet and polite?'&#8221; Cuomo said. &#8220;I know it says &#8216;peaceful&#8217; in the First Amendment, but if you just go in and sing your songs and go home, nothing changes. And that&#8217;s what he was encouraging.&#8221;
As noted by <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/cnn-chris-cuomo-john-lewis">Fox News</a>, Cuomo went on to differentiate between &#8220;good trouble&#8221; and &#8220;bad trouble,&#8221; arguing that the latter is rioting to hurt and destroy while the former is the Black Lives Matter movement. He also said that focusing on the riots over the protests is &#8220;bad trouble at work.&#8221;
Cuomo and other members of the mainstream media have repeatedly emphasized that the BLM and Antifa riots are just a small fraction of what the protests actually are. For this, many critics have accused the media of a double standard. Fox News host <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/ingraham-imagine-pro-life-christians-portland-riots">Laura Ingraham</a> argued on Monday that the media would not be so charitable if, perhaps, riots frequently erupted in the streets when pro-lifers led a protest outside of an abortion clinic.
&#8220;Imagine if thousands of pro-life Christians decided to surround a federal courthouse in Texas where pro-abortion rights cases had recently been decided,&#8221; she said on &#8220;The Ingraham Angle.&#8221; &#8220;Now, imagine if some of these protesters were peaceful, but others came to cause real trouble. Imagine if they threw bottles of cement, bricks, and shot fireworks. Imagine if they used lasers at federal officials who were protecting the building. Imagine they made Molotov cocktails and set cars on fire and that they did this night after night after night.&#8221;

On Monday, CNN anchor Chris Cuomo, ever eager to aggrandize on behalf of his older brother Andrew, the governor of New York, and seemingly upset about good news from Florida, attacked Florida Governor Ron DeSantis as a report stated that the daily number of new coronavirus cases was starting to dip. Cuomo mocked DeSantis, tweeting, “Can we trust the data from florida’s governor?”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
Can we trust the data from florida’s governor? <a href="https://t.co/1rLT3YzUYe">https://t.co/1rLT3YzUYe</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Cuomo’s tweet was triggered by ABC News, which reported, “Hard-hit Florida reports 8,892 new coronavirus cases Monday morning—the first time its daily case count was below 9,000 in at least two weeks, according to data from the state&#8217;s Department of Health.”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

&mdash; ABC News (@ABC) <a href="https://twitter.com/ABC/status/1287768432621035520?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 27, 2020</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Cuomo’s charge is ironic considering in mid-May, news reports surfaced that his brother’s state had elided some coronavirus deaths in nursing homes and adult care facilities. <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2020/05/15/new-york-coronavirus-reporting-nursing-home-deaths-undercounting/">The Daily Caller</a> reported:
<blockquote>New York has omitted an unknown number of coronavirus deaths in recent reports regarding residents of nursing home and adult care facilities, the New York State Department of Health acknowledged in a statement to the Daily Caller News Foundation.In early May, those reports quietly began omitting long-term care residents who died of coronavirus in hospitals. Even so, New York still leads the nation with 5,433 reported deaths at nursing homes and adult care facilities as of Wednesday.</blockquote>
It’s no wonder Chris Cuomo is attacking DeSantis; New York state has a population of 19.45 million; Florida’s population is 21.48 million. As of July 27, New York has had 412, 344 coronavirus cases; Florida has had 432,747, <a href="https://covidusa.net/">according to covidusa.net</a>. New York has suffered 32,645 deaths as a result of the coronavirus; Florida has suffered 5,931 deaths. That amounts to a mortality rate of 7.9% in New York, while in Florida the mortality rate is 1.4%, meaning New York’s mortality rate is more than five times higher than New York’s.
The battle between the Cuomos and DeSantis is nothing new. In late June, after a reporter informed DeSantis that Andrew Cuomo was “considering a quarantine on travelers from Florida,” DeSantis fired back a withering response as he obliquely referred to the New York state order that possibly doomed many elderly residents to die from the coronavirus: “I think governors are going to do what they need to do. I would just ask them if that’s done, just please do not quarantine any Floridians in the nursing homes in New York.”
As <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/desantis-cuomo-quarantine-florida-new-york-nursing-homes">Fox News</a> noted, over 6,200 elderly residents may have died from COVID-19 in New York nursing homes, according to <a href="https://www.health.ny.gov/statistics/diseases/covid-19/fatalities_nursing_home_acf.pdf">state health department statistics</a>. On March 25, the New York Department of Health issued an advisory that stated nursing homes had to accept residents returning from hospitals whether or not they had a diagnosis of COVID-19. The <a href="https://skillednursingnews.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2020/03/DOH_COVID19__NHAdmissionsReadmissions__032520_1585166684475_0.pdf">advisory</a> stated:
<blockquote>During this global health emergency, all NHs must comply with the expedited receipt of residents returning from hospitals to NHs. Residents are deemed appropriate for return to a NH upon a determination by the hospital physician or designee that the resident is medically stable for return.  Hospital discharge planners must confirm to the NH, by telephone, that the resident is medically stable for discharge. Comprehensive discharge instructions must be provided by the hospital prior to the transport of a resident to the NH.
No resident shall be denied re-admission or admission to the NH solely based on a confirmed or suspected diagnosis of COVID-19.NHs are prohibited from requiring a hospitalized resident who is determined medically stable to be tested for COVID-19 prior to admission or readmission.</blockquote>
The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/andrew-cuomo-finally-reverses-order-forcing-nursing-homes-to-take-covid-patients-demands-testing-for-care-workers">reported</a> on May 10 that a report from New York state authorities showed that &#8220;at least 4,813 residents with confirmed or presumed cases of COVID-19 have died at 351 of New York’s 613 nursing homes since March 1, according to Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s administration’s new list,&#8221; according to <a href="https://time.com/5832141/new-york-nursing-home-death-toll/">Time Magazine</a>.
Cuomo got hammered on Twitter after his &#8220;trust&#8221; tweet:

CNN host Chris Cuomo began the segment by complaining about the federal forces on the ground in Seattle, “They were not asked to come. That&#8217;s how it&#8217;s supposed to work. The State leaders are supposed to ask for Federal help.”
Cuomo welcomed Durkan by referencing her much-criticized comment. “So much for the &#8216;Summer of Love,&#8217; I mean, this just keeps getting worse and worse,” he said.
Durkan stated that Acting DHS Secretary Chad Wolf “believes he did not have all the information when he spoke to me” about sending troops to Seattle.
“So, he&#8217;s a cover guy, Wolf,&#8221; Cuomo replied. &#8220;Well, look, it all depends. One thing you can — that&#8217;s consistent about this President is inconsistency.”
Durkan admitted that the federal agents were on standby. She posited that despite the fact that the Federal Protection Service is only called out if there is a specific threat, Seattle could resemble Portland.
Then she hurled these charges against federal officers: “[Y]ou have seen the introduction of a significant number of Federal agents who, night after night after night, have escalated violence and have had a fight, a running fight on Portland that has created there a public safety risk …”
Ironically, in June, Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-liberal-portland-mayor-slaps-seattle-for-lawless-chop-debacle"> slammed Durkan&#8217;s Seattle</a>, asserting:
<blockquote>I do not want an autonomous zone set up in Portland. I&#8217;m watching what&#8217;s going on in Seattle, and I&#8217;m not impressed. I think it&#8217;s a distraction from the larger movement, and the movement is justice for black people. What I&#8217;m hearing coming out of Seattle concerns me. Armed people walking around in the autonomous zone? People being asked to show their papers and demonstrate where they&#8217;re from at the entrance to the autonomous zone? Businesses being potentially shaken down to be allowed to operate within the autonomous zone? So if you&#8217;re asking if that&#8217;s something I support, let me be unequivocally clear: I absolutely do not support that. And I do believe that it&#8217;s a distraction from the larger movement, which is to support and uplift black voices in our community.</blockquote>
Durkan said to Cuomo that the president &#8220;has also said that he&#8217;s targeting cities led by Democratic Mayors, and I think that&#8217;s absolutely true.&#8221;
&#8220;He is leveraging his power, just as you said before, for his own purposes,&#8221; she alleged. &#8220;Instead of giving us the help he needs (sic), he wants to send in Federal forces and Federal agents to escalate tensions. Not only do cities not need it, America doesn&#8217;t need it. This is one of the most dangerous escalations.&#8221;
&#8220;I was a Federal Prosecutor,&#8221; she asserted. &#8220;I know how important it is for Federal Law Enforcement to work with Local Law Enforcement. As the Chief Federal Law Enforcement Officer, as U.S. Attorney, I know that that&#8217;s an important relationship.&#8221;
&#8220;I&#8217;ve never seen anything like this, in my career, where Federal agents are sent in, not even, not with the cooperation of Local Law Enforcement, but over their objection,&#8221; she pontificated. &#8220;It&#8217;s unprecedented, and it&#8217;s the wrong way to go. The fabric of America is being shredded before our eyes, Chris, and it worries me greatly.&#8221;
Cuomo then championed the protesters, concluding, &#8220;This is the stuff of autocrats, and we&#8217;re going to have to see if the institutions of this society and the will of people in these jurisdictions is enough to fight it back. We&#8217;ll see.”

Coronavirus Pandemic Causes Climate Of Anxiety And Changing Routines In America

Seattle Mayor On Trump Sending Federal Agents: ‘The Fabric Of America Is Being Shredded Before Our Eyes’

Jenny Durkan

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) ripped CNN host Chris Cuomo after the anchor attempted to shame the lawmaker into appearing on the network after Cruz had already given an interview that went largely unaired.
Cruz tweeted out a clip on Wednesday of him pointing out that nearly 70% of Americans are making more on boosted unemployment benefits than they were at their jobs. Cuomo challenged Cruz to show the data backing up the assertion on an appearance on Cuomo’s show, “Cuomo Prime Time.”
“Come on @CuomoPrimeTime and make the case [Ted Cruz]. First question: show me the numbers, please? #doyourjob,” the CNN anchor tweeted.
Cruz shot back that the clip he originally tweeted out was of a recent CNN interview that went largely unaired by the network.
&#8220;Chris, the clip you forwarded from The Hill is from a CNN EXCLUSIVE yesterday&#8230;that y’all largely refused to air. I gave @cnn a nearly 7 min interview &amp; you ran 15 sec on TV,” Cruz wrote. “When you air the interviews you already have, then maybe we can discuss new ones. #FakeNews #doyourjob”

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
The federal government approved a short-term boost to unemployment benefits in March to help offset the economic impact of government shutdowns that kicked millions of Americans out of work. A group of University of Chicago economists <a href="https://dw-site-staging.dailywire.com/news/study-two-thirds-of-workers-who-lost-jobs-during-pandemic-are-getting-paid-more-on-unemployment">calculated</a> that roughly seven-in-10 Americans that filed for unemployment during the pandemic began taking home more money than they were making while working.
While furloughed and laid-off workers have benefited from the unemployment increase, the program is now causing headaches for business owners trying to restart their companies after being forced to shut down for weeks or months. The pandemic program expires on Friday, though lawmakers on Capitol Hill are debating whether to extend the program.
“One of the worst aspects of what Congress has done so far is the plus-up in unemployment compensation. We are paying a whole lot of people a lot more money to stay home and not work than they made on their jobs, and that is terrible for those workers, it’s terrible for the economy,” Cruz said in the clip.
&#8220;And every time everyone in this body who votes for paying people more money to stay home and not work than to go to work, they ought to write on the top of that ‘Paid for by the Joe Biden for President campaign’ because there are a lot of Democratic politicians all over the country who they understand if the country is shut down, if 40 million people are out of work, their guy probably wins and so they want the economy completely shut down,” Cruz continued.
“If it ends up that Biden wins in November – I hope he doesn’t, I don’t think he will, but if he does – I guarantee you the week after the election suddenly all those Democratic governors, all those Democratic mayors will say, ‘Everything is magically better. Go back to work. Go back to school.’&#8221;
“Suddenly the problems are solved. You won’t even have to wait for Biden to be sworn in. All they’ll need is Election Day and suddenly their willingness to just destroy people’s lives and livelihoods, they will have accomplished their task. That’s wrong, it&#8217;s cynical, and we shouldn’t be a part of it,” Cruz concluded.

CNN’s Cuomo Tries To Call Out Sen. Ted Cruz, Doesn’t End Well

CNN host Chris Cuomo called President Trump advertising Goya food products amid a pandemic “bullsh**” on Wednesday.
Cuomo’s harsh appraisal came after he spent weeks <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/best-politician-in-the-country-chris-cuomo-lauds-brother-amid-criticisms-over-nys-pandemic-response">touting</a> the performance of his brother, Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, as the governor oversaw the state with the highest death toll in the country. During a series of interviews, the television host avoided pressing his brother about a controversial nursing home policy that potentially <a href="https://dw-site-staging.dailywire.com/news/cuomo-snaps-when-pressed-on-nursing-home-death-scandal-nobody-can-be-prosecuted-for-it">contributed</a> to the state’s massive death toll.
“Tell me how a president in the middle of a pandemic has got time for this bullsh**. Are you kidding me? Hawking products, Goya, I don’t care who it is,” Cuomo erupted during a segment on his show. “Resolute Desk? This is what he’s resolute about. Pandemic priorities? His daughter Ivanka, top White House adviser. Are you kidding me?”
“Marketing for a brand following calls for boycotts after Goya’s CEO heaped praise on Trump last week, on your dime in the middle of a pandemic. They’re selling beans, are you kidding me?” Cuomo continued. “This is not Left and Right, this is reasonable, my brothers and sisters. The guy is sitting on the Resolute Desk with a bunch of Goya products.”

Washington Examiner Magazine managing editor Jay Caruso slammed the CNN host as a hypocrite for ignoring his brother’s handling of the pandemic in New York while being given prime access to question the governor.
“Now Chris Cuomo is concerned? Maybe he can break out the giant Q-Tip the next time his brother is on and ask Andrew about the 6,000 seniors he condemned to die with his nursing home order,” Caruso said, referencing a bit when Chris pulled out a giant Q-tip to question his brother about coronavirus testing.

Chris Cuomo Calls Trump Instagram Post ‘Bullsh**’ After Weeks Of Ignoring His Brother’s Nursing Home Scandal

Goya

On Tuesday night, Don Lemon floated a strange idea for solving America&#8217;s racial disparities: putting former President Barack Obama&#8217;s face on Mount Rushmore.
Responding to President Trump&#8217;s speech at the famed monument, Lemon said that the racist and divisive history of the country should translate into the first black president being placed on Mount Rushmore.
&#8220;You see the right-wing machine kick in, media machine kick in, when you see Trump’s poll numbers go south. They kick in with ‘Democratic cities are in chaos right now. Is this what you want from Joe Biden?’ And ‘they’re gonna take your country away,’ and ‘they’re taking down the statues,’ and ‘crime is rising. Oh my gosh, it’s so bad,’&#8221; <a href="https://www.theblaze.com/news/don-lemon-obama-mount-rushmore">said Lemon regarding Trump&#8217;s speech</a>. &#8220;Defunding police. And the people who you saw there, for the most part – not them specifically, I’m talking about as a whole – fall for it. They fall for it, and that’s why they do things like what they did. They want to paint over signs and they think it’s ‘our country,’ ‘this is the country that we built.’”
Lemon added that the rich diversity of American history shows that the country was built by people who were not fortunate enough to have statues dedicated to them, arguing that Barack Obama&#8217;s face on Mount Rushmore could help rectify that.
&#8220;Even though a rich diversity of people helped to build this country, and many of us, meaning our ancestors, for free — did not get paid for it, could not get an education, could not build wealth, are not on statues, Confederate or otherwise, are not on Mount Rushmore,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I think, listen … if they’re going to put someone on Mount Rushmore, considering the history of this country, the first black president should be front and center.”
Shortly after Lemon&#8217;s monologue, CNN host Chris Cuomo jumped into the fray to endorse the idea as being more palatable than destroying the Founding Fathers.
&#8220;Add to Mount Rushmore. I think &#8230; first of all, I think it&#8217;s a more salable idea than the idea of taking away Founding Fathers,&#8221; said Cuomo.
&#8220;So, what&#8217;s wrong with all of us together thinking or reshaping our country so that more people – rethinking our country in the way we think and where our priorities are so that this country belongs to everyone,&#8221; Lemon later added.
&#8220;Nothing’s wrong with it,&#8221; Cuomo responded.
Lemon then brought up the idea that Mount Rushmore is on &#8220;stolen land,&#8221; and that even an addition to the monument might still be offensive to Native Americans.
&#8220;Maybe some of the people up there on Mount Rushmore, who knows? &#8230; The name shouldn&#8217;t be Mount Rushmore if you talk to Native Americans. They say it is stolen land. It was only Mount Rushmore 40 years before they started to carve presidents&#8217; faces in it. No one got any money for that,&#8221; he said.
&#8220;You&#8217;re totally right. I think the premise is where we&#8217;re gonna have to work towards, which is, if we all decide. It&#8217;s about consensus and collective consciousness,&#8221; Cuomo concluded.

Barack Obama

CNN opinion hosts Don Lemon and Chris Cuomo on Tuesday night mocked rising crime rates in major Democrat-controlled cities as President Donald Trump hammers the issue on the campaign trail.
The segment with Cuomo and Lemon came after the Trump campaign <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOOlOMLaFho">released</a> a digital ad highlighting the Democrats&#8217; recent push to defund police departments and warning that Americans will not be safe if Joe Biden becomes president.
In voices mocking supposed story lines from conservative media organizations, the duo said:
<blockquote>Lemon: Yeah. &#8220;Democratic cities are in chaos right now. Is this what you want from Joe Biden? And they’re gonna take your country away. And they’re taking down the statues.&#8221;
Cuomo: &#8220;Crime is rising as they defund police!&#8221;
Lemon: &#8220;Crime is rising! &#8230; Oh my gosh! It’s so bad and they get defunding the police.&#8221;</blockquote>
The two hosts&#8217; dismissive response comes after Chicago, Philadelphia, Atlanta, and New York City have all seen sharp <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/shootings-surge-us-police-covids-crippling-justice-system/story?id=71637222">increases</a> in shootings in recent weeks, a surge that has occurred as law enforcement officials have been demonized by the political Left in response to the death of George Floyd.
Cuomo led into the mocking segment by saying that all the &#8220;lies&#8221; are all being exposed now. &#8220;[I]t all fits together, D,&#8221; he said. &#8220;The lies about the pandemic. The lies about, you know, what this president will make happen. The lies of those around him as an echo of support. The lies about what Black Lives Matter is about. It&#8217;s all about creating division. &#8230; And making, you know, in a country that is well over 70% white, if this happens, it is bad for you.&#8221;
&#8220;You see the right-wing machine kick in — media kick in when you see Trump&#8217;s poll numbers go south,&#8221; said Lemon.

CNN’s Chris Cuomo, Don Lemon Mock Rising Crime Rates In Democrat-Controlled Cities

On Friday night, CNN host Chris Cuomo emphasized to viewers that they do not need &#8220;help from above&#8221; but can do the right thing and make changes in their communities on their own.
&#8220;If you believe in one another and if you do the right thing for yourself and your community, things will get better in this country,&#8221; Cuomo said.
&#8220;You don&#8217;t need help from above,&#8221; the CNN host stressed. &#8220;It&#8217;s within us.&#8221;
The clip, days old, resurfaced on Tuesday, sparking Christians to respond.
&#8220;Chris Cuomo: &#8216;You don’t need help from above; its within us.&#8217; Yep, that tactic is working SUPER well right now!&#8221; mocked The Blaze TV&#8217;s <a href="https://twitter.com/conservmillen/status/1278161590257242114?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1278161590257242114%7Ctwgr%5E&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Feditorial.dailywire.com%2Fwp-admin%2Fpost.php%3Fpost%3D124966action%3Dedit">Allie Beth Stuckey</a>.
&#8220;The spirit of this age,&#8221; pastor and writer <a href="https://twitter.com/NatePickowicz/status/1277614040320282624">Nate Pickowicz</a> captioned the clip.
Christian author <a href="https://twitter.com/LarryFarlow/status/1277616818811809793">Larry Farlow</a> commented, &#8220;How do we know what &#8216;the right thing&#8217; is, Chris?&#8221;
Back in 2018, Cuomo, who is Catholic, mocked folks offering prayers to the families of gun violence victims.
“First, I would like to offer my thoughts and prayers, because that’s what you do when you offer ‘Thoughts and prayers’. You mock those who lost loved ones because if you gave it any thought at all, you would never walk away from any of these without figuring out a better way to deal with them,” Cuomo said on CNN airwaves.
“And prayer?&#8221; the host continued, &#8220;You think leaving it to God is the answer?”
“So what are you praying for? What would it take?” Cuomo asked, bizarrely adding, “How about a stadium full of children of the most influential people in our society, all holding puppies. What if they were all shot and killed. Would we act? Oh, don’t be ridiculous — more ridiculous than doing nothing? Time after time?”

The CNN host is also a big supporter of abortion.
In June 2019, for example, Cuomo noted his Catholic faith and young daughters in a piece published at <a href="https://www.glamour.com/story/chris-cuomo-essay-reproductive-rights">Glamour</a> advocating for men to support &#8220;reproductive rights,&#8221; a euphemism for abortion.
&#8220;I’ve seen the outpouring of action by women, sharing their most personal stories and missing school and work to protest,&#8221; Cuomo said of the response to pro-life legislation. &#8220;But men have been largely silent.&#8221;
&#8220;We can’t just sit on the sidelines while women work to protect reproductive rights. If men support a woman’s right to choose, they need to get up and support it,&#8221; he wrote. &#8220;I say that as a husband, a man of faith, and especially as a parent blessed with two daughters and a son.&#8221;
&#8220;My family is Catholic,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;I know well the Catholic teachings. It’s been easy for me to separate my faith from the laws in our country because we don’t live in a theocracy. We live in a democratic, secular state, where the burden is not to find a way to impose your faith on others. It’s the exact opposite—democracy is about making sure nobody can enforce their beliefs on you or anyone else. In a democracy we rely on science and data to guide our decisions. If we were to rely on religion, how could we ever decide when life starts?&#8221;
&#8220;Men say they cherish women,&#8221; Cuomo closed the post. &#8220;But more often than not they don’t want to cherish; they want to control.&#8221;

WATCH: Chris Cuomo Tells Americans They ‘Don’t Need Help From Above’

Catholicism

Christianity

Religion

CNN&#8217;s Chris Cuomo attacked Mark McCloskey, the man who recently defended his home with a rifle from a large mob of angry demonstrators in St. Louis, during an interview on Tuesday night and was taken aback when McCloskey fired back with a zinger.
“It’s just a horrible picture of what’s going on in America right now, so to me it’s not about what’s right and what’s wrong just in a court of law,&#8221; Cuomo said. &#8220;It’s about what we want, right and wrong, about how we treat each other and that’s why the president retweeted this tweet, Mr. Watkins. You know it and Mr. McCloskey, you know it.&#8221;
&#8220;He retweeted it because he liked the image of white resistance to this movement, and I’m not saying that was fair to you, but we know that’s why he did it because that’s why he deleted it,&#8221; Cuomo continued. &#8220;I wanted you to speak for yourself.&#8221;
Cuomo was apparently talking about a video from ABC News that showed the incident on Sunday night where angry demonstrators illegally trespassed onto his private property, and McCloskey met them with a rifle and told them to leave the property.
McCloskey fired back, &#8220;I’m glad you’re a mind reader because no one else thinks you are.&#8221;
McCloskey&#8217;s statement seemed to throw Cuomo off-balance as he then tried to explain what he was trying to say.
NewsBusters&#8217; Managing Editor Curtis Houck highlighted one of the clips from the interview on Twitter, writing: &#8220;Chris Cuomo ends with back-handed swipes at Mark McCloskey as an image of whiteness and opposition to Black Lives Matter, so McCloskey fires back with some [fire].&#8221;

Cuomo continued to ask McCloskey loaded questions throughout the interview, including, &#8220;How do you feel about becoming the face of political resistance to the Black Lives Matter movement?&#8221;
&#8220;First of all, that&#8217;s a completely ridiculous statement,&#8221; McCloskey responded. &#8220;I am not the face of anything opposing the Black Lives Matters movement. I was a person scared for my life, who was protecting my wife, my home, my hearth, my livelihood.&#8221;
&#8220;I was a victim of a mob that came through the gate,&#8221; McCloskey said. &#8220;I didn&#8217;t care what color they were. I didn&#8217;t care what their motivation was. I was frightened. I was assaulted, and I was in imminent fear they would run me over, kill me, burn my house. And you have to listen to context in St. Louis where in June 2nd of this year, I watched the city burn, I watched the 7-11 get smashed in, looted, and burned for 40 minutes on live television with nobody showing up to do anything. And I realized at that time, we&#8217;re on our own.&#8221;
&#8220;When bad things happen, they unpredictably turn real bad, real fast,&#8221; McCloskey concluded. &#8220;That same night, retired St. Louis police captain David Doran was murdered. These things get very bad very quickly. When those people came through the gate, when it was a mob, I didn&#8217;t take the time to see their birth certificates or anything else, I was defending my — my house, my life, my wife and what I spent 32 years building there.&#8221;

Cuomo McCloskey

CNN’s Cuomo Takes ‘Back-Handed Swipes’ At Man Who Protected Home With Rifle. Homeowner Shuts Him Down.

Defund The Police

CNN host Chris Cuomo used his platform to defend his brother, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, as the executive faced scrutiny and criticism over his coronavirus response.
The New York governor has been a reoccurring guest on his brother’s cable news show throughout the pandemic, a spot criticized for violating traditional journalistic ethics of appearing impartial and objective.
“Me having you on the show is an unusual thing. We’ve never really done it, but this was an unusual time and there were unusual needs,” Chris Cuomo said in the last moments of a Wednesday interview.
The CNN host credited his brother for stepping up “in an unusual way that really was created by a vacuum of power on the federal level,” repeating criticisms of President Trump’s pandemic strategy of largely letting state governors determine the proper response for their states. Chris Cuomo also acknowledged his conflict of interest in interviewing his brother: “I won’t always be able to keep having you on the show. It will never be seen as fair in people’s eyes and we both get that and that’s okay.”
Before ending the interview, however, Chris Cuomo praised his brother for the governor’s performance over the past three months as New York remains the worst-hit state by the coronavirus in the U.S.
“I hope you are able to appreciate what you did in your state,” the host said. “I’m wowed by what you did and more importantly, I’m wowed by how you did it.”
“Obviously, I’ll never be objective. Obviously, I think you’re the best politician in the country, but I hope you feel good about what you did for your people, because I know they appreciate it,” he continued. “Nothing’s perfect, you’ll have your critics, but I’ve never seen anything like what you did and that’s why I’m so happy to have had you on the show, and I hope you know that.”

Gov. Cuomo, along with New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, oversaw a confused and delayed pandemic response that contributed significantly to the spread of the outbreak in New York City, according to investigations by <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/nyt-calls-out-de-blasio-cuomo-for-coronavirus-failures-readers-thanks-for-finally-saying-something">The New York Times</a> and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/wsj-investigation-cuomo-de-blasio-pandemic-response-contributed-to-new-york-death-toll">The Wall Street Journal</a>.
Gov. Cuomo’s response also had a far-reaching impact for the rest of the nation, according to a May study on the virus’ spread throughout the United States. Yale School of Public Health epidemiologist Nathan Grubaugh <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/new-york-was-primary-gateway-for-virus-spread-in-us-researchers-find">said</a> New York was likely “the primary gateway” for the virus into and across the US, with choices made by state and local officials exacerbating the spread.
Arguably the most targeted criticism Cuomo has faced has been over his decision to send coronavirus-positive but recovering patients to nursing homes and other long-term care facilities. The governor barred nursing homes from turning away medically-stable patients who had been hospitalized with the coronavirus, without regard for whether they were contagious. The policy <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/report-cuomos-emergency-orders-forced-4300-coronavirus-patients-into-nursing-homes">resulted</a> in thousands of people with Covid-19 being placed in nursing homes among some of the most vulnerable people.
The governor has <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/cuomo-again-tries-to-blame-federal-government-for-covid-nursing-home-crisis-white-house-not-so-fast">dismissed</a> taking responsibility for the high fatality rate from the disease among New York’s elderly population. He blamed President Trump for his state’s slow response because “the federal government missed the boat and never told us this virus was coming from Europe and not from China,” Cuomo told NSNBC on Tuesday.

‘Best Politician In The Country’: Chris Cuomo Lauds Brother Amid Criticisms Over NY’s Pandemic Response

On Tuesday, a reporter for The Hill tweeted that President Trump will sit and talk with his son, Donald Trump Jr. on the online show “Triggered.” Jonathan Easley of The Hill phrased it this way: “Donald Trump Jr. will interview his father <a href="https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump">@realdonaldtrump</a>on Team Trump&#8217;s online show &#8216;Triggered&#8217; this week, per a source familiar. It&#8217;s the first time the president will appear on any of the campaign&#8217;s online shows. The interview will air Thursday night.”
Horrified by the idea of someone as partisan as Donald Trump Jr. “interviewing” his father, leftist social media expressed their loathing as they mocked the idea:

That particular segment greatly angered Meghan McCain of ABC’s “The View,” who noted that the Cuomo brothers were yucking it up while tens of millions of Americans had lost their jobs and thousands of elderly people had died in New York nursing homes from the coronavirus, the latter possibly due to Andrew Cuomo’s policy (later rescinded) of forcing nursing home and other long-term care facilities to take in COVID-19-positive patients.

Left Mocks Trump Jr. ‘Interview’ With His Dad. Trump Jr.: It’s Not An Interview, Unlike That CNN Anchor And His Brother.

Donald Trump Jr.

CNN host Chris Cuomo was mocked late this week after he attempted to use statistics from the Obama-era to try to make the case to viewers that there was systemic economic racism currently in the economy under President Donald Trump.
Cuomo&#8217;s segment came in response to Trump economic adviser Larry Kudlow saying last week that he does not believe that there is widespread systemic racism in the United States.
Cuomo said that it was a &#8220;fact&#8221; that there was systemic racism &#8220;everywhere&#8221; in the U.S., and then proceeded to show graphics from Pew Research Center and other studies that were from 2016, according to <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/cnn-chris-cuomo-mocked-obama-era-data-prove-systemic-racism-impacts-trump-era-economy">Fox News</a>.

PARTIAL TRANSCRIPT PROVIDED VIA <a href="http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/2006/11/CPT.01.html">CNN</a>:
<blockquote>All right, this isn&#8217;t believing in something like the tooth fairy, all right? It&#8217;s about fact. He is wrong. It&#8217;s not a matter of opinion. It&#8217;s a matter of fact. And it is fact that you see everywhere you look in black and white.
The immediate proof is in the Cabinet. Trump has one Black cabinet member and one Black domestic policy advisor. Kudlow is the President&#8217;s Economic Adviser. So, let&#8217;s start with the economy.
White people make more money than Blacks do. Period! Even if they have the same level of education, even if they&#8217;re in the same jobs.
In fact, that fundamental divide is as wide now as it was the year Dr. King was shot. So much for Trump&#8217;s economy being the &#8220;best ever&#8221; for Black people. Not relatively. And relativity matters.
Black people are not only more likely to be unemployed, they&#8217;re also more likely to be underemployed.
For all Mr. Kudlow&#8217;s talk about the stock market, Blacks don&#8217;t invest nearly as much as Whites. Even when you include 401(k)s, systemic racism extends to government programs as well.
Going back to the New Deal, the Federal Housing program that helped build the suburbs was often off-limits to Blacks. Lending practices, redlining, you know, drawing an area around Black neighborhoods, illegal, but their effects linger.
Blacks are far less likely to own a home than Whites, a gap that&#8217;s only widened since 2004.
And those that do buy a home have to put down more money, the equity cushion it&#8217;s called. And they have to pay for a higher mortgage, meaning what? That even when banks do lend to them, they have tougher terms, even when similarly situated to Whites.
Then, there’s the question of how you get between work and home? The highway system, this may not seem like a big deal, but just think about it in terms of your existence, a marvel of American ingenuity by White America, but its design skipped over Black neighborhoods.
Even if there were as many on-ramps in their communities, many people of color are less likely to own a car because of income and credit challenges. Thus, they&#8217;re more likely [to] depend on public transportation. We invest in buses and trains at a fraction of what we spend on the highway. So again, systemically, they are disserved.
Then there’s the question of what to do with your kids. Black families work more and, as we&#8217;ve seen, earn less. What does that mean? It makes taking care of your kids harder. You don&#8217;t have the time and you don&#8217;t have the money. Childcare, tough decision.
Once they get into the school system, and this is big, because this is all about the roadway to opportunity. The impact of history still hangs over their head.
58 years between Plessy versus Ferguson, separate but equal, and Brown versus the Board of Education, mandating integration, that period wound up influencing how our school system works, more arguably than the 62 years since the Little Rock Nine.
And here&#8217;s the proof for that suggestion. Districts with mostly students of color get $23 billion less in funding than White school districts, despite serving about the same number of kids. Less money means less power, right, less pay for teachers, less access to extra-curriculars, and services and systems, right?
We generally pay for schools with things like property taxes, right? And Black communities can&#8217;t support the kind of tax base that power schools in many White communities. And even when you adjust for poverty, more is still spent on White students. Why? Systemic racism.
Even how we discipline kids in schools is affected by systemic racism. How do we know? A White kid gets in trouble, a fight at school, the results often look like this, trip to the Principal&#8217;s office.
Black kid gets in trouble at school, more likely to be disciplined. How? Suspended. Wind up in juvenile justice. Why? Systemic racism, built into the fabric of the nation, as built in as the food we eat, the air we breathe, and the water we drink. Why? Because they are all worse in places of poverty.
Remember Flint, the faces of that suffering? They still suffer today. The faces are still the same color.
Even how we connect, it doesn&#8217;t matter how much you get paid. If you&#8217;re Black, you got less access to the internet. It&#8217;s quite literally a matter of life and death as well.
Look at the Coronavirus pandemic. Who is getting sick the most? Who&#8217;s dying the most? Who are the largest percentage of essential workers working in the midst of this risk, in our healthcare system? Minorities.
And they&#8217;re less likely to have insurance. They&#8217;re less likely to have access to good care. They have more premature births. They have shorter life expectancy. They check more of the boxes of chronic conditions.
The American Academy of Pediatrics, last year, identified the root cause of health problems, over a lifetime, is racism, not race itself, the disparities caused by racism.
Finally, the Black communities&#8217; ability to change these disparities should be through our democracy. But their voting rights are compromised.
Gerrymandering, okay, voter suppression, this is what Trump should be talking about, but he doesn&#8217;t. Not &#8220;Mysterious Illegals,&#8221; but real legalities like we arguably just saw in Atlanta.
And then, yes, there is policing. I don&#8217;t say &#8220;the police&#8221; because this is about more than people or bad apples. It&#8217;s about the orchard. It&#8217;s about the system.
And again, systemic policies and tactics work against Blacks disproportionately. Cops are more likely to pull over Black drivers, even when you adjust for daytime and nighttime stops that may make it hard to tell who is driving.
People of color are more likely to be searched while stopped, even though Whites are more likely to actually have drugs on them. Our prisons, overcrowded, filled with a disproportionate number of Black faces&#8230;</blockquote>

‘COMPLETE INCOMPETENCE’: CNN’s Chris Cuomo Uses Obama-Era Stats To Attack Trump Economy

Economy

CNN&#8217;s Chris Cuomo has continued his attacks on President Trump by suggesting he has been &#8220;dog-whistling&#8221; to his supporters with strong talk about law and order during the protests over George Floyd&#8217;s tragic death at the hands of a Minneapolis police officer.
In a segment on Thursday, Cuomo suggested that Trump supporters want to see protesters, many of whom are black Americans, &#8220;put down.&#8221; Cuomo took issue with President Trump&#8217;s call to &#8220;dominate the streets&#8221; in response to the nationwide rioting and the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (The CHAZ) in Seattle.
&#8220;Wonder what effect that will have on people who say they are tired of being dominated,&#8221; Cuomo said, as <a href="https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/nicholas-fondacaro/2020/06/11/cuomo-claims-too-many-trump-supporters-want-blacks-put-down">reported</a> by Newsbusters. &#8220;On the same day that the head of the Joint Chiefs apologized for even the suggestion of military presence in our politics, Trump, tone-deaf once again, doubled down.&#8221;
Cuomo then played a clip of President Trump in which he said of  &#8220;dominating the street with compassion,&#8221; asserting that this a dog-whistle of some kind.
&#8220;&#8216;Dominating the street with compassion.&#8217; If that doesn&#8217;t tell you everything that Trump doesn&#8217;t know, I don&#8217;t know what will,&#8221; said Cuomo. &#8220;When I say he is tone-deaf, I mean the calls for equity and justice. That is because he is singing a different tune – it’s more like a dog whistle, right, to his base. And too many of them want to see the people who are begging for change put down.&#8221;
&#8220;The governor of Washington, however, is pushing back, saying his state won&#8217;t allow threats of military violence from the White House,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;The mayor of Seattle calls it a &#8216;threat to invade,&#8217; and is calling on Trump to go back to his bunker. She is going to have more to say to us in just a moment.&#8221;
In an <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-on-seattle-being-occupied-by-anarchists-if-they-dont-straighten-that-situation-out-were-going-to-straighten-it-out">interview</a> with Harris Faulkner of Fox News on Friday, President Trump said that he will &#8220;straighten out&#8221; Seattle if the state and local government to continue to allow The CHAZ remain uncontested.
“If there were more toughness, you wouldn’t have the kind of devastation that you had in Minneapolis and in Seattle,” Trump said. “I mean, let’s see what’s going on in Seattle, but I will tell you, if they don’t straighten that situation out, we’re going to straighten it out.”
“What I mean is very simple,” Trump continued. “We’re not going to let Seattle be occupied by anarchists … no, we’re not going to let this happen in Seattle. If we have to go in, we’re going to go in. The governor’s either going to do it — let the governor do it. He’s got great National Guard troops. So he can do it.”
“But one way or the other it’s going to get done,” Trump concluded. “These people are not going to occupy a major portion of a great city.”

Chris Cuomo: ‘Too Many’ Trump Supporters Want Protesters ‘Put Down’

On Monday, <a href="https://pagesix.com/2020/06/08/chris-cuomo-apparently-caught-naked-in-wife-cristinas-yoga-video/">Page Six</a> of the New York Post reported that CNN anchor Chris Cuomo was allegedly caught in the nude during an Instagram Live yoga video shot by his wife Cristina. That prompted Senator Ted Cruz to mock CNN, tweeting, “It’s about time CNN embraced transparency!”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Page Six reported that Cuomo “is seemingly seen in a screengrab strutting his stuff in the buff outside his home in Southampton, where he had been broadcasting from his basement while under quarantine,” adding that the “super-fit newsman” “was allegedly seen au naturel outside, captured from behind through the large windows of their home, during an Instagram Live yoga video shot by Cristina.”
Page Six added that although the video was deleted quickly after being posted in late March, someone grabbed a screenshot.
CNN and Cuomo got blasted in April after a segment on &#8220;Cuomo Prime Time&#8221; claimed that Cuomo had just emerged from quarantine in his basement after testing positive with the coronavirus. As The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/a-proven-lie-cnn-chris-cuomo-blasted-for-suspicious-claim-about-cuomo-in-quarantine">reported</a>:
<blockquote>The controversy centers around a police report that was filed over a week ago by a man who claimed that he got into a verbal altercation with Cuomo after he encountered Cuomo allegedly violating quarantine after Cuomo tested positive for the coronavirus a couple of weeks ago.</blockquote>
&#8220;Over Easter weekend, Cuomo was reportedly involved in a heated altercation that took place at his East Hampton property after a bicyclist claimed that the CNN anchor was violating quarantine guidelines that were being enforced by his brother, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo,&#8221; Fox News <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/cnns-chris-cuomo-accused-of-faking-his-own-emergence-from-basement-after-spat-with-bicyclist">reported</a>. &#8220;A 65-year-old East Hampton resident named David was riding his bike on Easter Sunday when he spotted who he thought was the CNN anchor with two women and three children outside on their property. Cuomo had been recovering from his widely publicized coronavirus diagnosis.&#8221;
NewsBusters Managing Editor Curtis Houck tweeted of the &#8220;Cuomo Prime Time&#8221; segment: &#8220;This is a proven lie. As usual, CNN doesn&#8217;t care about the facts (or most of you).&#8221;

In January, after Sen. Martha McSally (R-AZ) called CNN&#8217;s Manu Raju a &#8220;liberal hack,” Cuomo targeted McSally, snapping that she “acted like a punk today; she did a disservice to herself and the seat that she holds, which was held by John McCain.” He claimed McSally insulted Raju because she wanted to “impress” President Trump.
Cruz fired back at Cuomo on Twitter. He began by tweeting, “NY Dem royalty Chris Cuomo declares ‘I can’t believe people would vote for’ McSally, or McConnell, or any GOP candidate. Clutching his pearls, in the very same breath, he says he can’t understand why anyone might think CNN are liberal hacks&#8230;.&#8221; He then offered some free advice for Cuomo: &#8220;Pro tip: real &#8216;journalists&#8217; don’t (1) kiss up to every Dem, (2) refuse to ask them hard Qs, (3) relentlessly attack every Republican, (4) lie when doing so &amp; (5) always, always push the prevailing Dem narrative of the moment.

Chris Cuomo Allegedly Caught Naked On Wife’s Yoga Video. Ted Cruz Uses It To Mock CNN.

As minority-owned businesses are getting looted, and cities and monuments are getting vandalized, causing billions of dollars in damages, CNN&#8217;s Chris Cuomo said that protesters don&#8217;t have to be polite or peaceful.
Speaking on his show Tuesday night, Cuomo said that protesters are not required to &#8220;be polite and peaceful,&#8221; a conundrum considering that his own network and the mainstream media have bent over backward to characterize the protests as mostly peaceful.
&#8220;It is a sad day when we need curfews in our cities,&#8221; said Cuomo, as reported by <a href="https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/nicholas-fondacaro/2020/06/02/antifa-backing-cuomo-declares-protests-are-not-required-be">Newsbusters</a>. &#8220;America&#8217;s major cities are filled with people demanding this country become more fair, more just, and ironically, more united.&#8221;
&#8220;Now, too many see the protests as the problem,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;No, the problem is what forced your fellow citizens to take to the streets – persistent and poisonous inequities and injustice. And please, show me where it says that protests are supposed to be polite and peaceful. Because I can show you that outraged citizens are the ones who have made America what she is and led to any major milestones.&#8221;
In complete contradiction to the U.S. Constitution, Cuomo then went on to say that police are the ones required to be peaceful while protesters are under no such obligation.
&#8220;Be honest, this is not a tranquil time. They&#8217;re not here to make power, or you or me comfortable? They&#8217;re here to yell, criticize, blame, and shame. You don&#8217;t have to like it. But why not focus on remembering the reason for the pain that fuels their purpose?&#8221; he said. &#8220;Police are the ones who are required to be peaceful, to de-escalate, to remain calm. They are, in fact, trained to do exactly that. So, when one kneels on someone&#8217;s neck for a long time and other police don&#8217;t stop obvious deadliness, that&#8217;s the problem.&#8221;
The 1st Amendment says otherwise: &#8220;Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.&#8221;
So, in actuality, the protesters are required to peaceably assemble, which means no throwing rocks or water bottles at police, no burning of police vehicles, no destruction of public property.
When it comes to looting and violence, Cuomo said that bad people are distorting the message of good people.
&#8220;Looting, arson, violence. Now, that&#8217;s something else,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Don&#8217;t confuse that with protests or the people doing it with protesters. There are bad people mixed in with good people in these situations. That&#8217;s the truth. We&#8217;re learning it in every city. And we&#8217;re watching New York City tonight especially closely, where orders went into effect an hour ago to stay off the streets after one of the wildest most destructive nights in recent memory.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
CNN&#39;s Chris Cuomo: &quot;Please, show me where it says protesters are supposed to be polite and peaceful.&quot;
As riots and looting have broken out in cities across the country, this is the message the brother of New York governor Andrew Cuomo shares at the top of his show. <a href="https://t.co/ZZ47zpyVlx">pic.twitter.com/ZZ47zpyVlx</a>

Though Cuomo did condemn the looting and arson, CNN reporter Sara Sidner <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-cnn-reporter-makes-excuses-for-rioting-looting">defended their actions</a> as legitimate acts of protests earlier this week, completely unsympathetic to the minority-owned businesses that are being destroyed.

Late Night with Seth Meyers &#8211; Season 6

WATCH: CNN’s Chris Cuomo: Protests Don’t Have To Be Polite

George Floyd

Protest

Riots

The following is satirical.
CNN is excited to introduce their brand new show &#8220;Gaslight,&#8221; which promises to bring you an entirely different world of news than the world we’re actually living in.
According to program notes used to clean a toilet seat in an airport restroom, &#8220;Gaslight&#8221; will be shown Sundays through Saturdays from 12 AM to 11:59 PM and will feature an exciting new array of hosts who will be exactly the same hosts as before except called new.
On the first episode of &#8220;Gaslight,&#8221; new host Chris Cuomo will take an in-depth look at the peaceful protesters peacefully being peaceful in the midst of cities around the nation that just happen to be on fire for some reason.
Chris will explain why the peaceful protesters are absolutely right to peacefully drive their cars over the bodies of policemen and peacefully hammer the heads of unarmed women with two-by-fours while other peaceful protesters stand by peacefully laughing. After all, who doesn’t enjoy a good laugh?
Next on &#8220;Gaslight,&#8221; new host Anderson Cooper will bring on expert guest Looney McGabble, retired four-star general from the nation of Imaginaria.
General McGabble will explain how at any moment Donald Trump could unleash nuclear attacks against the peaceful protesters with assistance from flying saucers from the planet Gildar.
General McGabble says he has high level sources from Gildar in radio communication with him through the fillings in his molars and, while some citizens may think they’re under threat from violent looters and rioters, if they could hear the voices he hears, they’d know the real danger was Trump not the peaceful protester repeatedly backing over them with an SUV.
And of course new host Don Lemon will also be a part of &#8220;Gaslight.&#8221;
Lemon will deliver a very special half-hour of staring into the camera with damp, doe-like eyes and a very serious expression and then passionately mouthing non-sequiturs in an important-sounding voice.
The evening will end with Anchorwoman Shapely Nudnick who’ll probably be saying something or other while you stare at her sweater.

Satire

America does not like &#8220;The Chris &amp; Andy Show.&#8221;
CNN host Chris Cuomo has been laughing it up for the last few weeks with brother Andrew Cuomo, who is the Governor of New York. But the CNN host&#8217;s ratings have been falling since he began the near-daily yuck fests.
His ratings have plunged 49% in the two months since he began bringing on his brother, data from Nielsen Media Research shows, according to The <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8370587/CNN-host-Chris-Cuomos-viewership-plunged-HALF-contracted-coronavirus.html">Daily Mail</a>.
<blockquote>
Since the week of March 30, Cuomo has dropped from first in his 9 p.m. time slot among cable news hosts to bottom of the barrel, last week averaging just 440,000 daily viewers in the age demographic prized by advertisers. Cuomo&#8217;s stunning ratings nosedive came after interviews with his brother, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, in lighthearted segments that were widely panned as ratings stunts amid the coronavirus pandemic.
</blockquote>
While ratings for several news networks also fell amid coronavirus exhaustion, Cuomo&#8217;s have dropped far more than other shows after “frequently silly and un-substantive interviews” with his older brother, said The Mail.
In The Cuomo Bros. Show, Chris teased Andrew about the size of his nose after the governor underwent a test for COVID-19.
“Is it true that this was the swab that the nurse was actually using on you, and at first it disappeared?” Chris said, holding up a giant swab. “Is it true you inhaled and the nurse’s finger went all the way up your nose and got stuck and had to be released with a tool?” Chris asked.
The two also debated whether Andrew is the most “eligible” bachelor in the country.
“Do you think you are an attractive person now because you’re single and ready to mingle?” Chris said. “Do you really think you are some desirable single person, and this is not just people’s pain coming out of them?”
Andrew, meanwhile, mocked Chris after the CNN host contracted COVID-19. “Nothing about me has changed,” Andrew said. “I haven’t been in my basement [in quarantine], I haven’t had my wife shear my hair out of resentment. None of that has happened to me. I’m just doing my job.”
But for all the witless banter, Chris has never asked Andrew about the staggering death toll in New York&#8217;s nursing homes, which has killed more than 5,800 elderly and vulnerable residents.
New York state has seen more nursing home deaths from the coronavirus than any other state. Why? The governor enacted a state directive that required nursing homes to take in any and all coronavirus patients, which then swept through the most vulnerable population.
“Journalism that truly aims to restore trust in media would hold Andrew Cuomo to account for these missteps,” David A. Graham wrote in <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/05/cnns-cuomo-no-no/612103/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">the Atlantic</a> last week. “The problem comes when the efforts to juice ratings start to get in the way of accurate journalism that holds officials accountable.”
