In a recent episode of his podcast, Chris Cuomo Project, Chris Cuomo, a prominent media figure, criticized Democrats for their dismissive attitude towards the July 13 assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania.
He argued that this lack of empathy was a significant factor in the failure of Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee, to secure the presidency.
According to The Post Millennial, Cuomo expressed his satisfaction at the political repercussions faced by Democrats for their refusal to treat the assassination attempt on Trump's life with the gravity it deserved. The incident, which resulted in Trump being shot in the ear, also claimed the life of a rally attendee, Corey Comperatore, who was killed while protecting his wife and daughter from the gunfire.
Cuomo expressed his outrage at the left's lack of concern for Trump's injury, stating, "What I found completely appalling and outrageous was how unimpressed lefties were by Trump getting shot in the head and how many of you would say, Will you stop saying he got shot in the head? It just nicked his ear. Once again, to my earlier point: f*ck you. You get nicked in the ear by a bullet and tell me that its No big deal. Im good. Im good. Nah, nah. Thats crazy."
Cuomo further argued that if the same incident had occurred to Harris, Democrats would have been outraged. He stated, "And then you go and call me a bigot for saying that. This is why you lost the election. Thats exactly why you lost the election. You are out of touch. You lost the plot about how people feel in the majority. Thats what you did, and that was a perfect example of it.
The assailant, Thomas Matthew Crooks, managed to fire several rounds at Trump from a building approximately 150 yards away, hitting Trump's ear, killing Comperatore, and critically injuring James Copenhaver and David Dutch. In the aftermath, several pundits and even FBI head Christopher Wray suggested that Trump was merely hit by a piece of shrapnel or some glass from the teleprompter, a claim repeatedly made by MSNBCs Joy Reid.
Cuomo condemned this downplaying of the incident, stating, "That situation, Oh, I think it was just a teleprompter. You would have never assessed it that way if you didnt wish the guy had died. How f*cked up is that? That you wished he had died? That you play down that he was shot at? It was disgusting. And I, for one, felt a measure of satisfaction that you were punished for it politically because there is no place for that.
Cuomo also expressed his disapproval of the left's response to a second assassination attempt on Trump's life, allegedly by Ryan Routh. He revealed that he had called Trump to apologize and expressed his shame at the left's suggestion that Trump had brought the violence upon himself.
