In our last post on Chris Cuomo, we hopped that he would stop digging and just admit he was wrong when he retweeted the bogus claim that a 20-year-old man was able to buy an AR-15 in 5 minutes with an expired ID.
But no such luck…
Here is the CNN host getting into it in a back-and-forth with NRO’s Charles C.W. Cooke. Spoiler? Cooke wins:
The point is that the kid lied about buying a gun that he didn’t, and that you are now lying too.

Lying? Look if you want to fight against background checks, make the case. Whether it is calling the kids actors or LYING about how no laws could stop the shootings…that is the bs to call out. 97% of people want better checks. Why fight that? https://t.co/YCLVyi5VT3

This isn’t a response. This is a straw man that has nothing to do with what I said to you, and nothing to do with the topic at hand. You promoted somebody who lied, and then you lied about why you did it. https://t.co/ofsxeo9iRf

It’s also a non sequitur, @ChrisCuomo. The debate at present is over whether to extend background checks to private sales, not over the existing FFL system that the kid you promoted would have gone through had he actually tried to buy a gun. As for the introduction of those . . .

who are disgracefully lying about these children being “actors,” that was beneath you. You know full well that I haven’t—and would never—say, or imply, or promote such a terrible lie, and to weasel your way into suggesting otherwise tells us all we need to know about you. Fin.
