That moment when you check and re-check tweets from Chris Cuomo actually DEFENDING Rudy Giuliani …
No seriously.
It started here:
‘The right to murder?’ MSNBC’s Joe and Mika warn Trump and Giuliani are claiming terrifying new powers https://t.co/HZXEvsiFlT

From Rawstory:
The “Morning Joe” host warned congressional Republicans that Rudy Giuliani, the personal attorney for the president, had crossed a red line over the weekend by claiming Trump could have assassinated former FBI director James Comey and escaped punishment.
“I understand that Republicans and Democrats on Capitol Hill watch this show a good bit — a lot of times in the gym,” Scarborough said. “Hi, how are y’all doing?”
Scarborough pointed out the chyron at the bottom of the screen, which read, “Giuliani: Trump could shoot Comey and not be indicted.”
Oh brother.
We’re not sure who’s more annoying here, Joe or the way Rawstory reported this.
And for once, Chris Cuomo agrees with us.
Partisans going too far like this allow an escape hatch for Rudy/Trump. Rudy never said potus can kill. He was taking about process of removing potus. Impeachment first. By going too far you lose high ground that Rudy should never have used that example. Stick to truth! https://t.co/yL0j0Yj9br

Whoa.
Hey, would someone check to see if Hell froze over?
Thanks.
No, Chris. They were responding to the clear messaging of Giuliani and Trump. You are providing the escape hatch by splitting hairs on this craziness as if some fine legal distinction was at play

See, Chris even had another chance to give in and go down the typical anti-Trump narrative.
But no.
Wrong. They are provocative. They rode Trump up and now are riding him down. Pundit prerogative. But Rudy was not saying potus has power to murder and you know it. It is about process. Stick to facts and you get to same criticism without weakness of hyperbole https://t.co/DYqqq5KsRg

Holy HELL.

From Mediaite:
Chris Cuomo‘s primetime show on CNN airs its first episode Monday night, and the host is already fired up.
In a series of tweets Monday morning, Cuomo scolded MSNBC hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski for their segment on Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani‘s remarks that even if the president shot someone, he could not be indicted until he was impeached.
Morning Joe tackled Giuliani’s comments Monday morning, with Scarborough declaring gravely: “Rudy Giuliani, on behalf of the president of the United States, said that the president of the United States could assassinate an FBI director who is investigating him and not face indictment.”
*POPCORN*
