NewsNation anchor Chris Cuomo on Monday called out media outlets and “political players” who have downplayed the assassination attempts against former President Donald Trump.
Cuomo’s reality check came during his impassioned opening monologue on his eponymously-named show, Cuomo. He said he is bothered by the “reaction and lack of reaction to the second attempt on Trump in the last couple of months” and called out those who say the suspected would-be assassin, Ryan Wesley Routh, “didn’t even shoot.”
“What if it was your father?” Cuomo asked. “Or what if it was Kamala Harris or President Biden, God forbid? [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?
Cuomo emphasized that Trump “had an AK-47 pointed at him” while rebuking those who have reacted by minimizing the significance of the latest assassination attempt on Trump and the one in Bulter, Pennsylvania, in July, where a bullet narrowly missed killing him, instead striking his ear.

What they’re doing to Trump could happen to them. The cult of hate that The Deep State has created is starting to boomerang on them.
Cuomo Family Reputation Self Rehabilitation from that of Murderers of Helpless Nursing Home Patients, to Cuomo “Cares”.
Meh. He’s a cuck, pushing the simp “tone down the rhetoric” line.
Its a form of cover for the deep state - admit to an excess of left-wing rhetoric, which triggers lone-wolf crazy people.
Meanwhile, ignore, obfuscate and hide investigation into the background or connections of the shooter.
Chris Cuomo may get unexpected attention for taking this stance, that of the contrarian. He’s one of very few media outlets who is apparently taking this assassination attempt as a serious matter for anyone. Megyn Kelly often gets attention for doing the same thing. Be the one of very few top tier TV reporters who is delving into the other side of the argument.
It’s what they’re trying to create Cuomo.
People on Twitter thinks he’s playing for the camera.
That was my first thought. At some point, the self preservation instinct kicks in.
It’s amazing what an effect stepping away from corporate media can have on someone’s outlook. Cuomo’s hardly a Trump supporter and he’s still a bit of a blowhard, but his reflexive “demonize Trump” response seems to have lessened.
I wondered a little if he said that because he’s worried that if political assassinations become a fact of life in the US, his brother Andrew is likely to be an early victim on his side.
The RFK Jr. Effect
It’s always a good thing when democrats start to wake up to the truth and start to see their own hypocrisy.
This sounds like something you’d expect to hear from Bill Mather.
But yes, from time to time, a liberal will get it right.
On this, how these attempts on Trump’s life... we are talking about lives here (and someone lost his life, several were shot in the first attempt) and then the overall civic health of our nation. We’re in bad shape here and beyond generic Democratic talking points.
The media is unserious and the Dems in power are just too far gone. Trump winning, GOP taking the Senate (even if narrowly) at least would humble the Dems for a bit. The media, itself, is another matter.
Many are saying the Patriots are in control. In this case, it implies the likelihood that the military, the good one, has been active.
Ironic- i posted the tweet of his statement here, a tweet with the video edited for effect, and multiple Freeprs went ballistic

I get yelled at also lol
rock and roll!!!!
“Chris got one right for once.”
I have to agree with you. Chris is right on target with this one.
Interesting source...for sure.
God help us if it does boomerang on them! They’ll take extreme measures because it’s THEM, and THEY count; Trump doesn’t.
