Why Chris Cuomo's Latest Statement Has Twitter Torching Him
Daniel Davis
As the New York Post notes, Chris Cuomo seemingly unwittingly responded to a Twitter user by demanding he point out any instances of bias after Chris was accused of constantly denying facts he doesn't like. "Name one?" the CNN star challenged, adding, "Tick tock." One user immediately pointed out, "You broke quarantine while actually sick with COVID," in reference to how, in April 2020, the CNN anchor was caught out in the Hamptons, breaking quarantine after testing positive for COVID-19. "Anything that has to do with your brother?" quipped another commentator, in relation to how Chris has handled Andrew Cuomo's many controversies. Yet another pointed to how conspiracy theorists had been given prominent interviews on his show, too.
The Cuomos once took part in goofy dedicated segments together on CNN, but they came to a screeching halt when multiple women accused Andrew of sexual misconduct. On March 1, CNN analyst Chris confirmed he was not allowed to cover the story but that the network would do so in general. Just a few months later, the Washington Post confirmed Chris knew about the impending scandal and even decried it as an example of "cancel culture." There were calls for his firing, while CNN was rebuked by the Poynter Institute. The younger Cuomo may be regretting ever opening his mouth even though, as one Twitter user noted, "Cuomo spending all day demanding people 'show proof' — then ignores the dozens of people that show proof" (via Fox News).
