As part of CNN’s day-long-pants-wetting resulting from Arizona Senator Martha McSally (R) calling out CNN correspondent Manu Raju as a “liberal hack,” CNN hosts Chris “Fredo” Cuomo (Cuomo Prime Time) and Don Lemon (CNN Tonight) railed against the Senator during the handoff between their shows on Thursday. Cuomo lashed out by describing McSally, the first female U.S. combat pilot, as a “punk” and later argued that her criticism of his colleague “should hurt her.” As he pivoted away from suggesting all Republican senators were liars, Cuomo started to target McSally. “That’s what’s so upsetting about McSally today. This is a...

On Friday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Cuomo Primetime,” Representative Lloyd Doggett (D-TX) said he believes that 2020 Democratic presidential candidate former Vice President Joe Biden “would be subject to subpoena power and could be compelled” to testify at the Senate’s impeachment trial. Doggett stated, “I think that Joe Biden or anyone else would be subject to subpoena power and could be compelled to come to this proceeding. But there’s nothing that Joe Biden or any of the other witnesses Republicans have talked about have to say about what the president is being impeached for. The only purpose of bringing them is...

Christian radio host Eric Metaxas took on a big job when he agreed to try to explain to CNN's Chris Cuomo on Friday night why an evangelical Christian or a Catholic would vote for Donald Trump and not somehow be a terrible Christian. Metaxas began by suggesting it's like hiring a pilot. He'd like a pilot who's in a stable marriage, but what if an often-divorced pilot is also an excellent pilot? Cuomo couldn't stand the analogy, because Bill Clinton was impeached for adultery (or so they still claim on CNN). METAXAS: The day Hillary Clinton was chosen as the...

CNN host: 'Your party basically wants to make Christianity the religion of this country' Chris Cuomo says the Christian defenses of President Trump that he’s seeing should have no merit and should be wholly rejected. The “Cuomo Prime Time” host spoke to former Wisconsin Rep. Sean Duffy and excoriated the Catholic for supporting Mr. Trump. “Why would I take that message from you when you refuse to call out the person who says the ugliest things most constantly?” Mr. Cuomo asked the Republican on Monday. The CNN’s host’s comment was in reference to Mr. Trump’s joke that Speaker Nancy Pelosi...

Throughout his one-on-one debate with former Congressman Sean Duffy, CNN host Chris Cuomo repeatedly slammed Republicans for their “silence” on President Trump’s tweet declaring that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s “teeth were falling out” and called into question the Christianity of Duffy and others in the GOP for daring to defend the remark: "If you want to hold yourself as a Christian, you can’t make any of the arguments you’re making right now.” At the same time, Cuomo defended some of Pelosi’s uncharitable remarks directed at the President. Before introducing Duffy, Cuomo asked a rhetorical question: “should you be defending a...

CNN anchor Chris Cuomo referred to President Trump as "Dirty Donald" on his show Friday night and sought to promote the hashtag on Twitter while criticizing Republicans' handling of the impeachment process. Cuomo particularly went after Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) for saying this week that he would be in "total coordination" with White House counsel on strategy for an impeachment trial that is expected to take place in January. "It's not illegal, but there is another word that keeps seeming to fit so much what of this president and his pals do: 'dirty,'" said Cuomo, who has regularly...

David Holmes, a State Department aide to Ambassador William Taylor, claims he overheard a conversation between President Trump and U.S. Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland — on a cell phone — while at a restaurant in Kiev, Ukraine. n the impeachment hearing on Thursday, Democrat counsel Daniel Goldman asked Holmes “how were you able to hear if it was not on speakerphone?” “I have been watching people making phone calls my entire life. My hearing is, and has been, great. Never have I been watching a person making a call, which was not on speakerphone, and been able...

**SNIP** BREAK TRANCRIPT RUSH: One more thing on our last caller. I think the Democrats are gonna screw this up like they’ve screwed everything. Remember, folks, as they have gone public with all of their private investigations, Mueller went public, his testimony. It was a disaster. Every time they’ve gone public, when they’re really feeling their oats, it has blown up in their faces. And they’re gonna screw this up, too, because, folks, it turns out they are stupider than we think they are. Or another way of saying it, they’re not nearly as smart as we think they are....

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said Friday that he would support women in military combat roles, but would follow that advice from his military advisers "because I would want to hear that without a political bent." "The answer is yes because they're really into it," the billionaire businessman told Chris Cuomo on CNN. "And some of them are really, really good at it. "I would really speak to the generals, because I would want to hear that without a political bent," Trump cautioned. "To the public, they say, 'yes, yes, yes,' but I would want to hear it without the...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Goodbye, Sheppie, we hardly knew ye. – Here is the only truly appropriate reaction to the news that the slimy Shep Smith has left Fox News: [gif] In all seriousness, does anyone really care that our TV screens will no longer be graced by this shrill, overwrought hack? In recent years, Smith’s only role at Fox News was to come on air and cause half the cable channel’s regular viewers to tune into OANN. The channel attempted to elevate his role a few years ago by making him the “anchor” for all...

CNN anchor Chris Cuomo apologized after joking to Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) that his pronouns were also “she, her and hers” at CNN’s LGBTQ town hall on Thursday night. Cuomo made the remark after the White House hopeful took the stage late Thursday. She said her pronouns “are she, her and hers,” which Cuomo repeated and said “mine too.” “All right,” Harris responded. Cuomo later apologized after backlash surfaced online to his comment. “PLEASE READ: When Sen. Harris said her pronouns were she her and her's, I said mine too. I should not have. I apologize,” Cuomo tweeted. “I am...

Well, this is certainly an odd coincidence! In fact, when you dig in, you find an amazing series of coincidences. If you believe in coincidences when the CIA is involved, that is. Mitt Romney’s national security advisor in his 2012 campaign -- a career CIA spook who rose to its top levels -- sits on the board of directors of Burisma, the Ukrainian gas company that formerly paid Hunter Biden $50k a month despite his complete lack of credentials or qualifications. And it also an odd coincidence that Mitt has as CNN puts it “been a lone Republican voice expressing...

CNN anchor Chris Cuomo made a rare admission on Wednesday night that former Vice President Joe Biden 'absolutely' engaged in Quid Pro Quo with Ukraine but insisted it wasn't for 'personal advantage ...

No doubt, Trump-haters will call it “punching down” and “unpresidential,” but I call it making Alinsky work for us. Yesterday, during a press conference at the UN, President Trump referred to CNN anchor Chris Cuomo as “Fredo,” a Godfather-referencing nickname that has in the past driven him to threaten violence.Scott Morefield of The Daily Caller picked-up on the jibe: Responding to a reporter’s question about Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani’s performance on the Ukraine issue, the president referred to Rudy’s wild “Cuomo Prime Time” interview last Thursday before slamming CNN as “fake news.” He then turned his attention to the CNN anchor...

President Trump was in New York City on Monday for United Nations General Assembly week. President Trump led a meeting on religious freedom and met with several world leaders including the leaders of Egypt and Pakistan. During questions and answers with the media Trump referred to CNN’s Chris Cuomo as Fredo. President Trump: “I don’t watch CNN because it is fake news. But I watched Rudy take apart Fredo. Fredo’s performance was incompetent. The press doesn’t give him credit, because they take little tiny snippets wherever Rudy was a little bit –if he mispronounces a word they’ll show that, they...

Since CNN's counterterrorism analyst Philip Mudd has a reputation for being vociferously anti-Trump, it must have come as quite a surprise to Chris Cuomo on Wednesday when Mudd made comments extremely critical of the intelligence community whistleblower who filed a complaint about one of President Trump's phone calls with a foreign leader.

President Trump's attorney Rudy Giuliani tore into CNN's Chris Cuomo during an interview Thursday night, calling the CNN host a "sellout" during a contentious exchange over Giuliani's efforts to get Ukraine to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden. Giuliani accused Cuomo of being "totally biased" during a heated back-and-forth after the Trump lawyer denied that he had asked Ukraine to look into Biden before seconds later acknowledging that "of course" he had asked for such a review. "You're trying to distort what I'm saying because you're totally biased," Giuliani argued over pushback from the CNN host. "You are, Chris. It's...

(Video at Source) Former congressman Beto O'Rourke doubled down on his controversial stance on gun control, declaring on Wednesday night he is in favor of gun confiscation in certain circumstances. Appearing on "Cuomo Prime Time," O'Rourke was asked point-blank if he was in favor of "gun confiscation." "Yes," O'Rourke firmly responded, "when it comes to AR-15s and AK-47s, weapons designed for use on a military battlefield, the high-impact, high-velocity round that is fired from those weapons. When it comes to those weapons... the answer is yes." The former Democratic lawmaker warned CNN anchor Chris Cuomo not to fall for the...

'That's why I'm not on Twitter anymore' Democratic congressional candidate Valerie Plame (N.M.) blamed social media, specifically Twitter, on Monday night for why she interacted with an anti-Semitic website in 2017. Plame appeared on CNN's Cuomo Prime Time to discuss her official campaign launch as she runs for New Mexico's open Third Congressional District seat. After talking about her new campaign ad, host Chris Cuomo pressed Plame in a series of questions about sharing articles from the fringe site UNZ Review in September 2017, including one accusing "American Jews" of "driving America's wars."
