It would seem Chris Cuomo isn’t even bothering to hide his bias anymore, not that he ever really was but this was pretty blatant even for CNN. It started when he interviewed Anthony Scaramucci since he’s an expert on Trump because he worked for him for like two hours.
"The President is not really a nationalist, by the way. He's an antagonist but not a nationalist."
Fmr. WH comms director Anthony @Scaramucci chides Pres. Trump for using the term, but says he's doing it to antagonize the establishment to galvanize the base and turn out voters. pic.twitter.com/Tbpy6d1AJe

Scaramucci claims Trump isn’t really a nationalist, which is probably true when it comes to today’s definition. And considering Scaramucci was willing to talk a little smack about Trump (even if it was oddly like he was defending him), Chris called him ‘fair’.
And then he tweeted something monumentally stupid.
@Scaramucci has proven a fair broker on trump often and his new book Blue Collar President is a worthy read for Dems if only to better understand how trump folk see the president https://t.co/SGbvW6jGOO

Trump folk?
What the Hell is ‘Trump folk’?
What does “trump folk” mean @ChrisCuomo? https://t.co/J0DrFMAoAY

It sounds like an incredibly smug and condescending way to write off a large part of the country but hey, maybe we’re jumping to a conclusion and Chris meant something else.

People like you. People who are devout followers of the president -without any qualification, applauding anything, defending everything regardless how wrong or wrong-minded. https://t.co/0wZTg5AyTQ

Ummm nope.
Guess not.
Wonder if he realizes he literally just described the media while Obama was president.
How can you actually call yourself an unbiased news presenter when you quite literally force your own point of view in every single line. You can't sit and wonder why people question the unbiased nature of the press when you don't even try to provide the middle ground.

What he said.
Morgan Freeman voice: But Chris was wrong, in fact he didn’t care as he kept on tweeting, proving once again he has the IQ of rusted garden tools

Our apologies to any garden tools that may be offended by being compared to Chris Cuomo.
The lack of self-awareness is astounding.

Crazy impressive and not in a good way.
For 8 yrs, people like u Cuomo, were Obama folk, sycophantic, devout followers of-utterly feckless Administration that didn’t accomplish much for American ppl but was still applauded for anything, defended for everything regardless of how wrong-minded. Now, u r resistance folk.

Again you are exposing yourself with classless, useless and vile rhetoric.. do you or @cnn have any decency

No, no they do not.
The way the Left responded to both Chris’ and Boris’ tweets is proof of that. Sure, there were a few people sprinkled in calling this out, but most of the responses were from Leftists kicking Trump supporters and treating them like they are less than and stupid. And truth be told, this editor wasn’t (and isn’t always) a fan of Trump, but seeing the way people disrespect his base and his supporters she is finally starting to get it. Why people voted for him in 2016, and why they will again in 2020.
Chris Cuomo and the other yahoos in the media and on the Left are the best political ad for Trump … ever.
