We haven’t even looked at any of Joy Reid’s program from Friday night and can’t imagine what a dumpster fire that was, but the Media Research Center’s Nicholas Fondacaro was keeping an eye on CNN and Chris Cuomo, who opined on the Kyle Rittenhouse verdict, claiming that Wisconsin’s law was “recklessly forgiving” and saying that “none of it feels right, because it was all wrong”; that is, if you “step aside from justice” for a moment and view it from that perspective.
Chris Cuomo starts his show by declaring: "There's plenty to be upset about. It is too easy to kill in this society. " He then suggests "there are no questions here tonight that this outcome is problematic." Adding; "…too many other kids get in trouble for way less." pic.twitter.com/r6cdZiEc99

“Problematic.”
After raising the question about why Grosskreutz had his gun, Cuomo asserts: "I'm not happy. There's nothing to be happy about here. Today's verdict of not guilty doesn't mean the actions on August 25th were innocent." And attacked Wisconsin's self-defense law as too weak. pic.twitter.com/buJUo61aYp

He followed up my mocking Rittenhouse's emotional reaction to hearing the not guilty verdict. And after attacking self-defense again, he argued that Rittenhouse defending himself from 3 attackers was "legally justified but still wrong." pic.twitter.com/5BOK1lTcjS

We’re honestly surprised Cuomo admitted Rittenhouse was “legally justified” in shooting his attackers in self-defense.
Cuomo makes it very obvious he's on a crusade against the right to self-defense as he recently rails against the Wisconsin law calling it "recklessly forgiving." And telling his viewers to "step away from justice, of course, none it feels right. Because it was all wrong." pic.twitter.com/zPztGcfgf7

That’s right; “step away from justice” for a minute and consider the case from an emotional perspective. None of it “feels right.”
Calling Rittenhouse a "chump," Cuomo calls the law "a shooter's dream" because he finds it unacceptable that the jury needs to look at the situation from Rittenhouse's perspective. "And that kid on that stand painted the right picture for that jury," he lamented. pic.twitter.com/Pe1LgyTJlR

Repeating his line that it's "absolutely too easy to kill," he smeared the teen by saying "it came too easily to Kyle Rittenhouse." Further suggesting the teen was a cold-hearted killer, Cuomo declared he was there for a "bad reason" and was filled with "animus." pic.twitter.com/BNqjrO7Uk4

Speaking to Rittenhouse's defense attorney Mark Richards, Cuomo questions if Rittenhouse at 17 could have fought off the entire crowd. He then defends Rosenbaum by saying he's never killed anyone and that he was only going to "beat [Kyle] up." pic.twitter.com/AJbOmL2cVR

He defended Joseph Rosenbaum, who was convicted on several counts of child molestation, by saying he’s never killed anyone and was just going to beat up Rittenhouse — and as the prosecutors argued, “everybody takes a beating sometime.”
Moments later, Richard tells off Cuomo for his ridiculous fear-mongering against the right to self-defense, "I don't think anybody with a brain is going to go out" and try to claim self-defense to get away with murder. He says Rittenhouse is lucky it was caught on video. pic.twitter.com/ybRQroLG7m

Itching for a defamation suit: @CNN's @ChrisCuomo smears Rittenhouse as out to kill and benefiting from self-defense law https://t.co/hBYUNg6W8e

Love that they're doubling down. Will make the lawsuit even easier.

It's much harder for the system to abuse you when there's video of everything that went down.

This man and this network have done more harm to America with its propaganda than any citizen over the past decade. CNN & MSNBC are responsible parties in inciting the violence that has precipitated many riots, violence, loss of property and life.

Cuomo started his show with a lie, claiming there was “plenty to be upset about.”
