Chris Cuomo: 'Lefties' who downplayed Trump assassination attempt to blame for Harris loss

NewsNation host Chris Cuomo said “lefties” downplayed President-elect Trump’s assassination attempts in hopes of using it as the reason for Vice President Harris’s November loss on Tuesday.

“What I found completely appalling and outrageous was how unimpressed lefties were by Trump getting shot in the head,” Cuomo said in a video posted to his YouTube channel. 

The journalist said the group minimized the July assassination attempt by saying the former president “nicked his ear” instead of being shot in the head.

“You get nicked in the ear by a bullet and tell me that it’s no big deal. I’m good. I’m good. Nah, nah, that’s crazy,” he told viewers.

Trump was also the target of a second assassination attempt in September. Cuomo previously criticized the media’s response to the incident, which occurred on a golf course in Florida.

On Tuesday, Cuomo said Democrats’ response to the July incident on the campaign trail shows how out of touch Harris and her supporters are with the American people.

“If that had happened to Harris, you guys would have talked about it for three days nonstop about how we’re in helter-skelter mode or whatever it is. And then you call me a bigot for saying that this is why you lost the election,” he explained.

Immediately after the Trump assassination attempt, Harris and President Biden issued a statement condemning political violence. Still, Cuomo said it was ineffective.

“That’s exactly why you lost the election. You are out of touch. You lost the plot about how people feel in the majority. That’s what you did,” he stated.

“And that was a perfect example of it. That situation? Well, I think it was just a teleprompter. You would have never assessed it that way if you didn’t wish the guy had died.”
