NewsNation host Chris Cuomo blasted Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) during a Thursday broadcast, warning Democrats not to get behind her as she tours the country with Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) — and appears ready to potentially mount a presidential campaign in 2028.
Cuomo, in addition to criticizing Ocasio-Cortez&#8217; thin Congressional resume, referred to the Bronx native as an &#8220;80/20 loser&#8221; whose only real accomplishments can be measured in social media &#8220;likes.&#8221;

&#8220;AOC has done nothing meaningful in Congress. She&#8217;s done it all on social media,&#8221; Cuomo began. &#8220;And she&#8217;s one of your leading names and who&#8217;s going to be president?&#8221;
&#8220;Do you not get this concept of 80/20? She&#8217;s an 80/20 loser all day long,&#8221; Cuomo continued, suggesting that on most major issues that Americans cared about, Ocasio-Cortez would side with 20% while 80% sided against her. &#8220;Why? She is clearly catering to a minority. She&#8217;s her own version of MAGA. She&#8217;s looking for an outraged enclave.&#8221;
&#8220;She&#8217;s not about the majority, she&#8217;s not about consensus. She&#8217;s not about solutions,&#8221; he concluded. &#8220;She wants government to give you everything. She&#8217;s a socialist in a capitalist society. What are you thinking!?&#8221;
A number of people have suggested that Ocasio-Cortez is likely to mount a primary challenge against Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) — and Schumer&#8217;s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/cnn-data-guru-its-time-for-chuck-schumer-to-panic-sirens-should-be-going-off" target="_blank" rel="noopener">recent poll numbers</a>, according to CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten, have many wondering whether he could withstand such a battle.
&#8220;They simply don’t like the job he’s doing as Senate leader. I mean, look at this — should Schumer stay as Senate leader? Again, according to New York Democrats, just 50% say yes. Look at this number — 48% say no,” Enten said. “This screams — sirens should be going off. Primary challenge. Primary challenge. Primary challenge. When you’re a Democrat in New York and these are your ratings — this is a big wake-up call if you’re Chuck Schumer.&#8221;
But others have suggested that the New York Congresswoman might be plotting a much bigger move:

Longtime Democratic strategist James Carville predicted on Monday that billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk  — because of the work he is doing with the blessing of President Donald Trump&#8217;s administration — would drive more Democrat voters to the polls than even former President Barack Obama did.
Carville joined NewsNation host Chris Cuomo to discuss his recent prediction about the Trump administration — made during an interview with Mediaite founder Dan Abrams —  namely, that it was on the brink of collapse and things would begin to fall apart in the next four to six weeks.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Carville began with the economy, arguing that persistent inflation and the coming budget fight would sour voters on Trump.
&#8220;Literally every Western democracy government has failed because of inflation. So I place a lot of stock on that. The trend is going the wrong way. But the real thing here, Chris, is the calendar,&#8221; Carville said. &#8220;And what I’m asking Democrats to do is remember, I think it was Harold Macmillan, might have been Harold Wilson said, ‘Events, my dear boy, events.’ So they have to produce a budget by March the 14th. They have to go through reconciliation. They can’t not do it. They have to extend the debt limit.&#8221;
&#8220;Let the ball come to you. Then throw it. The ball is coming to us,&#8221; Carville continued. &#8220;And the other thing I place a lot of stock in are these organic town halls. These are not being organized by Democratic interest groups. These are not being organized by the DNC. These are just people coming up and saying, we don’t like this at all. And you’re seeing it and as you point out, very smartly in Georgia and Wisconsin and Oregon, I saw something even in Idaho, you know, when you start to lose Idaho, you got some problems.&#8221;
Carville then turned to address Musk — and the efforts being made by the Department Of Government Efficiency project — and said that people angry about what Musk and DOGE were doing would come out in force at the next election.
&#8220;So I think we just have to play possum for a little while. Just let them keep coming. And Musk will turn out, if they keep him, he will be the greatest generator — let me say this very specifically — the greatest generator of Democratic turnout ever, more than Barack Obama. Musk will turn out more Democrats than Obama,&#8221; Carville predicted.

Border Czar Tom Homan announced on Thursday that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents and cooperating law enforcement officers had already made some 1300 arrests through deportation operations since President Donald Trump&#8217;s inauguration.
Among them, according to a <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/01/24/us-news/trumps-ice-raids-turn-up-pedos-gangbangers-and-ny-based-suspected-terrorist-as-538-migrants-arrested/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> published Friday by The New York Post, were known pedophiles, gang members, and at least one suspected terrorist who was living in New York.
Homan discussed the unfolding situation with NewsNation host Chris Cuomo, where he explained that of the 1300 arrests, more than 1000 had committed additional crimes other than simply coming into the United States illegally or overstaying a legal visa.

&#8220;What I can tell you right now, Chris, is we&#8217;ve arrested 1300 people, over a thousand of them are criminals,&#8221; Homan began. &#8220;Who are the other ones? They&#8217;re either fugitives who&#8217;ve been through immigration court, have been ordered to be removed but didn&#8217;t, became a fugitive, or collaterals.&#8221;
Homan went on to explain that &#8220;collaterals&#8221; were illegal aliens who had not necessarily committed additional crimes other than entering the country illegally, but they got caught up when ICE agents arrested someone else who should have been held by local authorities but were not because they were in a &#8220;sanctuary&#8221; jurisdiction.
&#8220;Look, I said from day one, no one’s off the table,&#8221; Homan added. &#8220;If you&#8217;re in the United States illegally, you&#8217;ve got a problem. But we are concentrating on public safety threats first. That just makes sense.&#8221;

NewsNation host <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/chris-cuomo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chris Cuomo</a> unloaded on Senator Tim Kaine (D-VA) during a Tuesday segment addressing the confirmation hearing for decorated Army veteran Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump&#8217;s pick to lead the Pentagon.
Cuomo recapped parts of Hegseth&#8217;s televised hearing before the Senate Armed Forces Committee, and he argued that Kaine&#8217;s single-minded focus on Hegseth&#8217;s prior marital troubles had swung wide of the mark.

Although Cuomo was harshest on Kaine, he was critical of several of the senators who had questioned Hegseth during the sometimes-contentious hearing that had taken place earlier that day.
&#8220;My opinion is we saw the enemy today at Pete Hegseth’s Armed Services Committee hearing, and it’s us. Not you, but the toxic game of division played by the people who we put in power,&#8221; he began.
&#8220;What questions would you have for a potential secretary of defense?&#8221; Cuomo asked then, offering his own suggestions: &#8220;What are you going to do about China, Russia, terror, Pentagon size, drones?&#8221;

But then he pivoted to what the Democrats on the committee had actually asked Hegseth about, adding, &#8220;Or would your top concern be his marriage? Is your biggest fear that an army of trans folk are going to take over? Because those were the concerns that the most deliberative body in the world focused on today.&#8221;
Cuomo then directly referenced Kaine&#8217;s line of questioning — a series of queries all related to Hegseth&#8217;s marital infidelities and whether or not he was fit to serve if he&#8217;d broken his marriage vows: &#8220;Here is the moment that Democrats are choosing to send around the internet as their big win: Senator Tim Kaine giving Hegseth the Bill Clinton.&#8221;
&#8220;Two points of disgust: How many people on that committee, how many in Congress, could pass the Kaine test that you can’t honor an oath to serve if you’ve ever been unfaithful?&#8221; Cuomo asked, taking much the same position as Senator Markwayne Mullin had during the hearing. &#8220;Kaine may be sitting in that room alone.&#8221;
“Who cares when we are talking about being the top warrior, not our pastor?&#8221; Cuomo took the argument a step further. &#8220;I’ll tell you who agreed with me once about this: Tim Kaine. He supported Bill Clinton for president. He didn’t say he couldn’t serve despite all he knew about his peccadilloes. He still backed him. Why? Is president not as important an oath? So, what changed?&#8221;

Media personalities Chris Cuomo, Bill O&#8217;Reilly, and Stephen A. Smith slammed the media for ignoring a story <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/doug-emhoff-accused-of-hitting-ex-girlfriend-in-the-face-at-high-profile-event-report">published</a> by the Daily Mail this week that detailed accusations that Vice President Kamala Harris&#8217; husband, Doug Emhoff, struck his girlfriend in the face because he thought she was flirting with another man.
Three friends of the woman, a New York lawyer, told the Daily Mail about the alleged attack in 2012 on the condition that neither they nor the woman, who was only identified as “Jane,” be named out of fear of retaliation.
The report said Emhoff and Jane were in line waiting for a taxi as they were leaving the Cannes Film Festival in France when Jane tipped a valet, hoping to get moved to the front of the line. During the interaction, she allegedly placed her hand on his shoulder, and Emhoff thought that she was hitting on the valet.
He allegedly smacked her across the face so hard that she spun around.
&#8220;If the name were Trump instead of Emhoff in this story, it would be all over the news right now,&#8221; Cuomo said on his NewsNation show.
The reporter who published the explosive story, Josh Boswell, said that the publication would not have published it unless it was &#8220;very credible,&#8221; noting that there were credible contemporaneous accounts of the incident and documents about how the two were traveling to the event together. He added that there was even video footage of them together at the event.
&#8220;If it were Trump or anyone related to him, it would be on every TV show that is on right now,&#8221; Cuomo added. &#8220;And that&#8217;s why I think of the interest of fairness you should look at it.&#8221;
<a href="https://www.amiracist.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.amiracist.com/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1726313279401000&amp;usg=AOvVaw115_qPFFEePDP86-Fvo-Vd">Am I Racist? Is In Theaters NOW — Get Your Tickets Here!</a>
Smith agreed: &#8220;In fairness to Donald Trump, which is not something you hear me or most people say all the time, it is absolutely true if this were him, it would be all over the place. It would be printed. It would be publicized everywhere.&#8221;
&#8220;We also have to take into account 2018 when then-Senator Kamala Harris, obviously, when the whole Brett Kavanaugh situation, when Brett Kavanaugh was obviously running for the Supreme Court &#8230; I remember her wearing all black and saying she was wearing all black, and &#8216;I wore black today in support of all survivors of sexual assault or abuse,'&#8221; Smith continued. &#8220;And it was a hashtag, #BelieveSurvivors, etc, etc. And so when you do something like that, it&#8217;s going to be politicized.&#8221;
O&#8217;Reilly said that left-wing activists and movements like Me Too and Time&#8217;s Up will say nothing about the alleged attack.
&#8220;But if it were a Republican or conservative, they would be denying the person accused of due process, because that&#8217;s what they do, unless it&#8217;s someone on [their] side,&#8221; he said.
Smith agreed, saying that the &#8220;bias&#8221;, &#8220;favoritism&#8221;, and &#8220;lack of neutrality&#8221; in the media was a serious issue.

NewsNation anchor Chris Cuomo chastised CBS News vice presidential debate moderators Norah O&#8217;Donnell and Margaret Brennan for inserting themselves into the conversation rather than simply letting the scene play itself out.
Cuomo gave his feedback after the Tuesday night debate — between Governor Tim Walz (D-MN) and Senator JD Vance (R-OH) — was over, and he focused on one exchange between Vance and the moderators. In that specific instance, despite announcing prior to the debate that they would not fact-check the candidates, they had opted to interrupt and challenge Vance anyway — and when he rebutted that challenge, he was in the right.

Cuomo then rolled a clip from the debate showing the exchange in question and argued that the moderators had disrupted what could have been an informative conversation between the two candidates and had instead made themselves the story.
Both Brennan and O&#8217;Donnell repeatedly interrupted Vance and talked over him, trying to move on to the next topic. &#8220;We&#8217;re going to turn now to the economy, thank you,&#8221; O&#8217;Donnell said.

When he went on to lay out the facts, they interrupted him again. &#8220;Thank you, Senator &#8230; thank you, Senator, for describing the legal process &#8230;&#8221; Brennan interjected, adding, &#8220;We have so much to get to, Senator.&#8221;
When Walz cut in briefly, Brennan immediately stopped talking so that he could be heard, but when Vance pushed back, they cut off the candidates&#8217; microphones.
&#8220;Vance was right, okay? There’s nuance to it, but the bigger problem is why he was moved on? ‘We’ve got so much to get to.’ Says who?&#8221; Cuomo objected. &#8220;What is the schedule here? You have a list of topics? That’s not what this is about. It’s about how the American people can access these two men and the two theories and the narratives and you’ve got to let them have their speak, because now you created a story where you&#8217;re the problem.&#8221;

NewsNation host Chris Cuomo immediately contradicted his Democrat guest during a recent interview, calling him out for claiming that former President Donald Trump was the &#8220;only one perpetuating violence&#8221; when it came to political rhetoric.
Cuomo spoke with MSNBC contributor Brian Tyler Cohen about the fact that there have now been two assassination attempts on the former president — the most recent foiled by U.S. Secret Service agents just this past Sunday — and the Trump campaign has called on Democrats, in particular, to tone down the rhetoric that could potentially incite violent actions.
Cuomo began the conversation by asking why Democrats had gotten so mad at him for suggesting they should take steps to lower the temperature.

&#8220;So, why did you guys get in such high dudgeon about what I said that was so obvious?&#8221; Cuomo asked. &#8220;Which is, you guys should be as loud about going after Trump as you are about the danger of hate speech.&#8221;

&#8220;Well, I think they&#8217;re one and the same,&#8221; Cohen replied. &#8220;I think the reason that Democrats get so up in arms about this whole idea that Democrats have to disavow violence, is because the only reason this violence is here is expressly because of [Trump].

Cuomo was having none of it: &#8220;Yeah &#8230; no, he isn&#8217;t.&#8221;
In the wake of the second assassination attempt — and the predictable legacy media efforts to blame him for the tone of political rhetoric in the United States — Trump&#8217;s campaign published a list of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-team-brings-receipts-highlights-50-times-dems-media-used-extreme-rhetoric-about-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">more than 50 times</a> that Democrats or left-wing pundits had used violent rhetoric either against him directly or in reference to him and his supporters.

Political Violence

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.
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.
&#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;
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.

&nbsp;
&#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;
Cuomo also slammed the &#8220;fake concern by our sitting president and almost nothing from the Democrat who wants to lead us.&#8221;
&#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;
&#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;
<a href="https://www.amiracist.com/">Am I Racist? Is In Theaters NOW — Get Your Tickets Here!</a>
Cuomo also said critics should apologize to Trump&#8217;s wife, Melania, for mocking her fears about plots against her husband.
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.
&#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.
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;
&#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;
&#8220;We are playing a dangerous game with ourselves, and we&#8217;re doing it for petty stakes,&#8221; Cuomo said.

In a lengthy post on <a href="https://x.com/ginacarano/status/1788401575981191493">X</a>, The Daily Wire star reacted to a clip from the recent <a href="https://www.patrickbetdavid.com/pbd-podcast/">PBD podcast</a> of Cuomo talking about how he’s now “taking a regular dose of Ivermectin” to stave off the effects of &#8220;Long COVID,&#8221; something he had said people needed to be “<a href="https://www.yahoo.com/news/chris-cuomo-makes-ivermectin-face-210453781.html">called out and shamed</a>” for during the pandemic.
Cuomo told the host Ivermectin was the “boogeyman” during COVID – which he conceded “was wrong.” He claimed they had just been “given bad information.” He also said Joe Rogan had gotten it right and “they were wrong to play scared on that” — but he did so without acknowledging that he was one of the people who had bullied others about it.

In response to his latest comments, Carano wrote, “It does matter that Joe Rogan was raising questions and took the heat, trending every other day, being mocked by people like you and the organization you worked for. He was threatened and pressured by the higher ups and mob to be canceled, it could have cost him everything. He was doing the job you should have been doing.”
“You were just given wrong information right, ignoring and supporting the censorship of part of the legitimate medical community who were pushing back?” she added. “You say people were just resisting the government OR, had they seen and been vaccine injured and were asking legitimate questions, critically thinking like<a href="https://twitter.com/RobertKennedyJr"> Robert Kennedy Jr.</a> has been doing for years.”
“You were a part of one the most powerful news organizations in the world and you bullied and shamed the genuine questions from the public that you were supposed to be offering unbiased news to,” Carano continued. “Instead, you all called them ‘anti vaxxers’ and ‘alt right extremists.’ Don’t try and change the story now.”
The star of DW’s “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/videos/terror-on-the-prairie">Terror on the Prairie</a>” pointed out that, at that time, people weren’t even “allowed to sit next to their loved ones as they died because of the propaganda” people like Cuomo had helped to spread. 
Carano said what Cuomo and others in the media did during the pandemic will go down in history “as one of the most embarrassing, destructive moments that cost people’s lives and careers, broke up families and destroyed our economy. You don’t  look like a hero now, you look arrogant with no idea how deep this goes for the people this destroyed.”
She included a screenshot of a Direct Message Cuomo sent to her dated Feb. 11, 2021. It was sent one day after she had been “fired, shamed and canceled” for voicing her concern about the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/disney-fires-actress-gina-carano-after-post-comparing-hating-someone-over-politics-to-nazi-germany" target="_blank" rel="noopener">polarizing state</a> of our country as those who were questioning the propaganda about COVID were being treated as the enemy.
“Chris Cuomo CNN, would you like a chance to clarify where your head and heart are before you get defined permanently by others,” Cuomo’s DM read at the time.
Her post concluded with a direct question to Cuomo, “Gina Carano here, would you like a chance to clarify where your head and heart are before you get defined permanently by others.”

The New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/03/health/covid-vaccines-side-effects.html?searchResultPosition=3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">published an article</a> this week recounting the horrors some people have experienced after getting the COVID vaccine, and their inability to get help from doctors or vaccine injury compensation programs. But are these complications and side effects a result of the vaccines?
The Times article begins by acknowledging, “&#8230;even the best vaccines produce rare but serious side effects,” and that over 270 million Americans have taken the jab.
Through the course of multiple interviews, the Times investigation revealed that the harm caused by the vaccines can vary greatly. In one example, a woman with a Ph.D. in neuroscience who took the vaccine was eventually diagnosed with brain damage. She can no longer work or drive, and, at age 40, is back living with her parents. Another woman interviewed by the Times experienced Bell’s Palsy, or partial facial paralysis, and shingles on half her face.
In another instance, a nurse practitioner named Sean Barcavage said since taking the first shot, his heart now begins to race every time he stands up. He also now has tinnitus. “I went from being a 100% healthy, fully functioning nurse into a complete downward spiral of health. I had a myriad of symptoms,” said Barcavage.
<h4><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/podcasts/morning-wire/trump-s-vp-audition-vaccine-injury-acknowledgement-5-7-24" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LISTEN: Morning Wire&#8217;s report on vaccine injury</a></h4>
While each person experienced symptoms they believe were caused by the vaccine, the side effects were not uniform. What is uniform, however, is the way in which their concerns were dismissed by doctors and the federal government.
As the Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/cdc-adds-covid-vax-to-routine-immunization-schedules-for-both-children-and-adults" target="_blank" rel="noopener">previously reported</a>, there had been nearly 13,000 claims filed with the vaccine compensation program alleging harm caused by the pandemic response, with more than 10,000 of those claims citing the vaccine as causing injury or death.
The government, which has just 35 people looking into the claims, had only determined that 40 claims were eligible for compensation, and just 11 were actually compensated, with an average compensation of around $3,600. That was in February, and the numbers haven’t moved much since. Now, 47 have been deemed eligible and 12 have been paid out, still with that low compensation average. A very small number of people. 
As the Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/03/health/covid-vaccines-side-effects.html?searchResultPosition=3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">points out</a>, “Some scientists fear that patients with real injuries are being denied help and believe that more needs to be done to clarify the possible risks.” 
But it’s not just the New York Times talking about this issue. 
Others are starting to acknowledge <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/largest-covid-vax-study-to-date-finds-higher-than-expected-increase-in-heart-and-brain-issues-following-jab" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the harm</a> caused by the vaccines — even some who were at the forefront of the COVID response are now acknowledging that many were in fact harmed by the vaccines. Dr. Ashish Jha, the Biden administration’s COVID coordinator in 2022 and 2023, <a href="https://www.newsnationnow.com/cuomo-show/vaccine-side-effects-censorship-drove-vaccine-hesitancy-nurse/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told NewsNation</a> that people who were harmed by the vaccines must be taken seriously.
“I worry a little bit that what has happened is we&#8217;ve gotten caught in the sort of politics of this,&#8221; said Dr. Jha. &#8220;&#8230;because as you know, there are a lot of people who&#8217;ve become very anti-vaccine. And so that means that a lot of doctors see these patients and worry that if they acknowledge that person suffering, that somehow they&#8217;re becoming anti-vaccine themselves. I&#8217;m very pro-vaccines. I got them. Everyone in my family got them. Still, I think we have to acknowledge this that is not just happening among doctors is happening inside the government. We just have to do better.”
And Chris Cuomo, who famously emerged from his basement after quarantining for COVID, also said in an interview with Barcavage that he had long-term issues from the vaccine, and <a href="https://www.newsnationnow.com/cuomo-show/vaccine-side-effects-censorship-drove-vaccine-hesitancy-nurse/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">admitted that people weren’t getting help</a> because of politics. “&#8230;I think there&#8217;s really no incentive to get out in front of this because it&#8217;s just bad PR, right?&#8221; said Cuomo. &#8220;I mean, nobody&#8217;s going to get patted on the back for saying, &#8216;Yeah, Shaun&#8217;s right.&#8217; There&#8217;s, there are side effects on some of the vaccines or all of the vaccines that we should be talking about and figuring out how to treat. And there is long COVID and there&#8217;s lots – nobody wants to say that because it&#8217;s all political now.”

NewsNation anchor Chris Cuomo tore into President Joe Biden on Thursday, accusing the White House of sending a &#8220;mixed message&#8221; on Israel and warning him that no amount of political pressure — even from within his own party — was an &#8220;excuse to be weak.&#8221;
Cuomo was responding to Biden&#8217;s Thursday call with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, during which he reportedly pressured the Israeli leader to move ahead with a ceasefire in Gaza despite the fact that the terrorist group Hamas — which started the current war with an unprovoked attack on October 7th and is still holding Israeli and American hostages — has thus far refused to make any concessions.
During the call, the president also suggested that U.S. policy toward Israel moving forward would be reevaluated and determined based on Netanyahu&#8217;s response to Biden&#8217;s demands.
Cuomo was apparently not impressed, and he used his Thursday monologue to address Biden directly.

&#8220;You’re treating the war against Israel as if it were another political point of compromise. ‘This is wrong. But this is wrong. And we need to do better here. And there has to be change and blah, blah, blah. Ceasefire.’ A lot of words, a lot of conditional language, a lot of half-speak, a lot of appeasement in a situation that is not about balance. It is about realities,&#8221; he continued.

Cuomo went on to explain that he understood the likely political calculus that was going on behind the scenes, saying that he knew the presidential race was thus far shaping up to be a close one and that Biden stood to lose support from within his own party if he did not make some effort to appease the pro-Palestinian voters. But he argued that was &#8220;no excuse&#8221; for allowing the politics to drive policy when there were still American hostages in the hands of Hamas terrorists.
&#8220;I get how worried you are that you’re not going to have the same base you had the last time. But that is not an excuse to be weak. There’s a primary reality, okay? We seem to have forgotten it,&#8221; Cuomo added. &#8220;Hamas is a terror organization. You designated them as that. They stole people. They need to give the people they stole back to us, to Israel, first. The hostages have become an afterthought and that is wrong. And the reason it has happened is even more wrong. The reason it has happened is because other political exigencies and agendas have overtaken their relevance.&#8221;

Longtime Democratic strategist James Carville literally laughed off the idea that President Joe Biden, who was in New York City for a fundraiser at the time, should have taken some time to drop by the funeral of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-calls-for-return-to-law-and-order-at-wake-for-slain-ny-police-officer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fallen NYPD officer</a> Jonathan Diller.
Carville, who joined fellow guest Geraldo Rivera in a discussion with NewsNation host Chris Cuomo, called the notion &#8220;idiotic&#8221; and asserted that fundraising schedules should not be disrupted when police officers were killed: &#8220;Unfortunately, it happens about 120 times a year.&#8221;

Last night Dem strategist James Carville said it would be &quot;idiotic&quot; for Biden to care about Officer Jonathan Diller being murdered and to modify his fundraiser plans because cops are shot all the time: &quot;They&#39;re raising money, they got guest lists&#8230;&quot; <a href="https://t.co/kkYAmuZFDG">pic.twitter.com/kkYAmuZFDG</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Cuomo began by pointing out the stark comparisons that many had made — namely that while Biden was hobnobbing with former Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama and shilling for high-dollar donations, former President Donald Trump was speaking at Diller&#8217;s funeral just minutes away — and he argued that Biden could have undercut the bad optics by simply making an appearance, however brief.
Carville just laughed.
&#8220;James, when you&#8217;re done laughing,&#8221; Cuomo prompted.
&#8220;Well, I think — I think it&#8217;s idiotic,&#8221; Carville replied. &#8220;I&#8217;ll tell you why: they have a fundraising schedule, they have Radio City Music Hall, they&#8217;re out there raising money, they got guest lists, they got everything done. Unfortunately, it happens about 120 times a year, a police officer was shot.&#8221;
&#8220;And so you&#8217;re really saying he should just unring the entire bell.&#8221; Carville then abruptly pivoted to complain about conservatives who had objected to the president&#8217;s decision to honor &#8220;Transgender Day of Visibility&#8221; even though it coincided with Easter Sunday, claiming that people just wanted to always be outraged about something.
&#8220;No, James, that was an easy one. It&#8217;s a layup,&#8221; Cuomo protested, saying that all Biden really had to do was make an appearance at the fallen officer&#8217;s funeral. &#8220;You stop by, you see the family, you give them some private moments, you get back in the car, you go to the fundraiser.
