In a bit of disappointing news, Chris Cuomo, the former reporter for both ABC and CNN and the brother of former Democratic Governor of New York Andrew Cuomo, seems to be okay with the idea of another Trump presidency.

I don’t know if he thought the remark would fly under the radar, but it absolutely did not.

In an interview with Patrick Ben-David for his PBD podcast, the host asked Cuomo if there was anything that Trump could do to earn his vote. Cuomo did not give a direct reply right away.

“I was one of the people to let him do the phone interview. And we were smart enough at CNN to say, ‘Offer it to Hillary, offer it to Hillary.’ And her campaign would be like, ‘No, we’re not giving you an interview, like, every third day.’ It’s on them. He wanted the opportunity, we gave it to him,” Cuomo said in response.

Ben-David then asked, “If he had done something that made it harder for your kids in school, is he going to get your vote?” Cuomo once again dodged on the question, opting instead to question whether Biden would be any better:

“Do I think [Biden] is the best of us? No. Do I think he’s the best we can do as president? Absolutely not. Do I think he’s the best that Democrats can do? Hell no.”

None of that sounds even remotely like an answer to the question that preceded it.

“If it’s Biden-Trump? Look, for me, again: We survived a Trump administration. Would we survive another one? Yes. Yes. I don’t think there’s any greater risk to America with him than with Biden.”

Knowing full well that the public would come after him for such a ridiculous remark, he stumbled with his words, saying that nobody was trying to kill us under Trump who isn’t still trying to kill us. Well, thank goodness for small mercies!

“Existentially, I’m not afraid of another Biden presidency, because unlike many people in America, I believe that the country is much stronger than any individual leader. We survived the Russia thing. We survived January 6. We survived having Biden as a gaffe machine. We survived Congress going after each other and doing nothing for the rest of us. We survive these things. Are we better for it? No. Should we be doing things differently? Yes. I think it happens, I don’t know when, I don’t know why. In terms of who I’m going to vote for, I would really have to see where we are at the moment in time.

I am always open. And I’ll tell you this: People say, ‘Oh, bullsh*t! You’ve never voted for a Republican in your life.’ Wrong. Not only have I, the first vote I ever cast was for a Republican.”

Okay, but not a Republican like Trump, Chris.

This isn’t surprising to me. Chris Cuomo thinks Biden is a greater danger to America than Trump, the guy who literally attacked America on January 6th. Cuomo has always been a loudmouth, closet MAGA, narcissistic attention hungry bullshitter. pic.twitter.com/avpGp3drts
