CNN anchor Chris Cuomo has been mocked online for failing on Friday to mention the scandal surrounding his older brother Andrew, the governor of New York.

One social media user said she was 'disappointed', while another joked that there was 'big news coming out of New York state' that Chris Cuomo ignored.

'How convenient,' said another.

Andrew Cuomo, 63, has been rocked by the confession on Thursday of his top aide, Melissa DeRosa, that they deliberately hid data on nursing home COVID deaths, in the midst of a Justice Department investigation into their handling of the pandemic.

He is yet to comment on the scandal, which is seeing mounting calls for him to resign.

On Friday night CNN anchors Jake Tapper and Erin Burnett covered the story, with Tapper tweeting that it 'keeps getting worse', but Chris Cuomo, 50, instead dedicated his entire show to Donald Trump's impeachment trial

'Some big news coming out of New York state,' joked one.

'Something about the governor and killing senior citizens. You might want to look into that, Mr Reporter.'

Another added: 'Speaking of trusting data and governors...'

One person dismissed the Cuomo family as 'scumbags'.

Another said they were 'disappointed', adding: 'Is your brother off limits?'

'I noticed no mention of the news about your brother on the show tonight! How convenient!' noted another.

CNN is yet to respond to DailyMail.com's request for comment.

In May the brothers were criticized for making light of the pandemic, after Andrew Cuomo appeared on Chris Cuomo's show.

The governor recounted how he was tested for coronavirus on live TV during his daily press briefing on Sunday, leading his brother to joke he had a big nose and required a baseball bat-sized nasal swab for a test.

Is anyone else tired of seeing ‘slammed’ in story titles?

Now we’ve got to live with the wonderful Tappan Zee bridge being named for his father. Give me a break.

I look at these career criminals- Schumer, both Cuomos, Deblasio- and ALL I see is organized crime. Tammany is alive and well. It never died. And even if ANY of these dirtbags get nailed for their corruption, Tammany will live on. Boss Tweed must be SO proud. The mob is legit now, don’cha know? “Corporations” and politics.

The MSM always covers for Democrats. Family has nothing to do with it. They are all scumbags.

He would be a scumbag if he DID turn on his brother.

There's more truth in this improvised sign than anything on CNN over the past decade.

I've been saying right along....Fauci and Chris talked daily when Chris was sick cuz Fauci said "he cared".

My gut says that Fauci fed info to Chris on how our sterling gov could manipulate the numbers. Chris was the back door.

I believe the numbers were 3 months late.

Wish I had a time line.

Federal gub mint is garbage.

For me, the Tappan Zee Bridge will always be the Tappan Zee Bridge, just as the 59th Street Bridge, AKA Queensboro Bridge, on which my grandfather worked as a stone mason, now renamed the Mayor Ed Koch Bridge, will always be the 59th Street Bridge, and the Triboro Bridge, now renamed the Robert F Kennedy Bridge, will always be the Triboro Bridge.

The next think you know, that corrupt POS known as Andrew Cuomo will rename the New York State Thruway as the Gov. Andrew Cuomo Thruway which crosses over the Hudson River at its widest point, known as Tappan Zee, on the Gov. Mario Cuomo Bridge. Then again, why not think really big and rename the Verrazano Narrows Bridge after himself?

The entire Cuomo family, father and two sons, are an embarrassment to all Americans of Italian descent.

That’s true, and they have spent 100 years covering for each other, blackmailing each other, and using each other to climb the political ladder. They established to swamp to serve themselves, but it wasn’t good enough until they brought it out to US. Control, groupthink and a destroyed education system was always in the plan. Socialism is nothing but communism with teeth, which they must grow to maintain power. They didn’t just hate DJT. More than him, they have always hated us- the great unwashed, as they think of us. THEY are “fit to rule” don’cha know.

But here is what they DIDN’T expect- DJT didn’t elect himself. WE elected him, because he promised to drain the swamp, something we had already discovered and wanted gone. He did one better- he forced them to expose themselves. And so they did. BIG TIME. We now see clearly that as they consider we Patriots as “enemies of the state” (and we ARE- proudly), we also see THEM as “enemies of the people”. THAT is why they are so angry.

They are beginning to see that we are NOT Russian Kulaks, or Chinese peasant farmers, or a weak Cambodian middle class. We will NOT go quietly into that good night, and we ARE willing to fight them. And we WILL win.

We have something far more powerful than guns and bullets- we have the Constitution and are beginning to learn how to use it as it was meant. They fear that more than you know.
