Chris Cuomo, formerly of CNN, may no longer be working for a prominent liberal media outlet, but he is demonstrating an inability to handle the truth.
This was evident in a recent clash with conservative commentator Bill O’Reilly, where they discussed Vice President Kamala Harris’ speech at the Democratic convention.
O’Reilly criticized the speech for lacking specifics and offering no solutions to the country’s problems, describing it as a typical “liberal Democratic line.”
Former Fox News host O’Reilly then delivered some harsh truths about Harris.
“She wants power. She wants to be president. She doesn’t do press. She doesn’t answer questions,” he said.
In other words, she’s demanding power without designing to tell the American people what she intends to do with it, and how.
He also detailed how Harris’ speech was rife with untruths about her opponent, former President Donald Trump.
“I don’t want to be lied to, Cuomo,” O’Reilly said. “I don’t care where it is!”
Cuomo, whose look of bored irritation while O’Reilly was speaking showed all the inherent liberalism that made him such a star for CNN before he was ousted, went on the attack.
He implicitly accused O’Reilly of being both ignorant and naive for expecting anything different from a candidate’s convention speech and, on the subject Harris’ comments about the Supreme Court and abortion, basically called O’Reilly stupid.
O’Reilly shot back.
“Is that all you got?” he said. “That I sound like an idiot?”
Check it out here. It’s almost 13 minutes long, but it’s an exchange that really needs to be seen to be believed (and appreciated).
In summary, the clash highlighted the 2024 campaign dynamics.
On the Republican side, Trump supporters and those not swayed by propaganda criticized the Biden-Harris administration’s handling of illegal immigration, the economy, and foreign policy.
They also criticized the establishment media for favoring the Democratic agenda over informing the public.
Meanwhile, on the Democratic side, there were true believers and leftist commentators like Cuomo who constantly attacked Trump without providing a strong defense of their own candidate or policies.
Harris’ speech was criticized by mainstream media outlets for its deception, and even O’Reilly found himself aligned with them on this issue.
Cuomo’s response was to attack Trump and O’Reilly while downplaying the significance of a convention speech in evaluating a candidate. In conclusion, O’Reilly succinctly summarized their conversation near the end of the video.
“This woman has no specifics, but you excuse it because she’s in party mode. Bull!” he said.
“We’re at a very serious point in our history. We need problem-solving,” he said. “This woman won’t answer a question from any journalist. That alone tells you what her capacity is.”
