During a heated discussion over gay marriage, CNN morning Anchor Chris Cuomo opined that the unalienable rights endowed to all Americans do not come from God.
Cuomo was debating Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore on the constitutionality of same-sex marriage. Near the end of the back-and-forth and after Moore argued that rights cannot be handed down by men, Cuomo blurted out:
“Our rights do not come from God, your honor, and you know that. They come from man... That’s your faith, that’s my faith, but that’s not our country. Our laws come from collective agreement and compromise.”

That's worse than anything Brian Williams did, IMHO.
“Maybe Mr. Cuomo flunked elementary civics. The opening sentence of the second paragraph of the Declaration of Independence clearly affirms:”
The SCOTUS has moved away from basing decisions on the Declaration of Independence and now makes up their own laws by inventing their own living Constitution.
“Cuomo blurted out:“Our rights do not come from God, your honor, and you know that. They come from man...”
Translated that means our rights come from Government.
That is how statists think, alas.
Spoken like a true Marxist.
Pray America is waking
“CNN morning Anchor Chris Cuomo”
This guy is as much a chucklehead as his old man and that dimwit Governor brother of his.
Loud, abrasive, and obnoxious is no way to go through life, Cuomo.
Which one ???
I expect nothing less from a commie.
“You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.” (John 8:44)
Perhaps lefties have a different interpretation of the “Creator”.
To them ‘creation’ is a mere incident.
Typical leftie...changes the subject mid argument. He starts out talking about6 rights then switches mid sentence to laws.
Exactly. If they did not come from God, they come from Kings or government bodies, either of which can revoke them at a whim so they aren't truly "rights".
Cuomo just doesn’t no when to stop....he got b!tchslapped by Ben Carson last week for his snide remarks...
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
Jacka$$ Cuomo needs to be schooled . . . along with several generations on boneheads cranked out by liberal academia.
Unfortunately I caught this exchange as well. Cuomo is not a “host”, and “anchor”, or whatever. He acted a lying, belligerent, partisan jerk.
Without a doubt he is a certified dumb@ss!
If your rights don't come from a higher power and come from men, then men can take them away without a care.
This is an argument liberals should never engage in. I'm glad they did, but they should steer clear of it if they are smart.
I have just revoked Chris Cuomo’s right to live.
Given that he says I have the authority to do that he shouldn’t complain.
Unfortunately it is the reverse: Stupid enough to be on alphabet TV news.
Cuomo actually said that his belief is the same as Judge Moore’s? Really? Huh, another whopper and another Catholic in Name Only.
