CNN’s Chris Cuomo Attacks Critics & Admits He Urged Brother Andrew Cuomo To Resign As NY Governor Over Sexual Harassment Allegations
was his mantra back then and it was tonight too almost right until the end of the show, intentionally.
“I never misled anyone about the information I was delivering or not delivering on this program,” he went on to say with no small degree of defensiveness. “I never attacked nor encouraged anyone to attack any woman who came forward. I never made calls to the press about my brother’s situation and I never influenced or attempted to control CNN’s coverage of my family.”
“Some of you reached out about my brother’s situation and I do have a note on that,” the second son of former NY Governor Mario Cuomo said in parsed language. “But first tonight I want us to deal with the crisis that is coming at all of us – this is Afghanistan and it is a nightmare.” Cuomo conducted an overview of the two-decade mission in Afghanistan that felt almost as long and haggard as the war itself. Along with rolling out the likes of fellow CNN host Freed Zakaria and other for interviews, thefrontman dragged out confronting his brother’s so-called “situation” and its blast radius upon himself.
“But you should also know, I never covered my brother’s troubles, because I obviously have a conflict, and there are rules at CNN about that,” he stated in his own defense. “I said last year that his appearances on this show would be short lived, and they were. The last was over a year ago, long before kind of scandal.”
