Chris Cuomo Criticizes News Media Reaction


NewsNation anchor Chris Cuomo sharply rebuked American media for what he said was a “lack of reaction” to the second apparent assassination attempt against former President Trump 

The Hill reports Cuomo opened his monologue during the Monday night broadcast of “Cuomo” by chastising those who have sought to downplay the incident or who have suggested the public not “make too much of it.”

“What if it was your father? Or what if it was Kamala Harris or President Biden? God forbid,” Cuomo said. “Do you think that it would be almost a shoulder shrug and more of talk about the Secret Service and allocation of funds, than just, how crazy it is that this is what’s happening in our country?”

Addressing those who say, “But the guy didn’t even shoot,” Cuomo said, growing increasingly animated, “He had an AK-47 pointed at him.”

“The reaction is unacceptable,” he continued. “And it’s the second time media and political players have gotten away with playing down what should be a cause for panic.”

Cuomo criticized political players from across the political spectrum for their response to the attack.


He slammed tech billionaire Elon Musk, who posted a now-deleted “joke,” which questioned why “no one is even trying” to assassinate Biden or Harris.

“Elon Musk – I’m a believer in this guy’s potential, okay? – Now, he hasn’t learned that erasing the tweet doesn’t make it go away. It only shows that he knows what he said was stupid, and that is what hinting about targeting Harris is: It’s stupid.”
