CNN's Chris Cuomo: Calling a Journalist 'Fake News' Is Like Calling Someone The N Word
Leave it to CNN's Chris Cuomo to say something categorically moronic on live television.
This morning, Cuomo interviewed Senator Richard Blumenthal about his meeting with Supreme Court justice nominee Neil Gorsuch. According to Blumenthal, Gorsuch said that Trump's attacks on Judge Robart last week were "demoralizing." This prompted the President to write this angry tweet.
Cuomo, the younger brother of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, took offense to Trump's tweet and said the following:
This is insane. Many journalists have spread misinformation and at times even lied and it is justifiable to call them out on it. However, there is no justification for referring to a black American as the n-word. That word effectively dehumanizes individuals not by their character but rather by race.
