Chris Cuomo was with ABC in the 2000s and a big deal talking head on CNN for 8 years, during some of which his brother Andrew was Governor of New York. Both Cuomo brothers were sons of former NY Governor Mario Cuomo and, like him, Democrats. Chris pushed Democratic themes and story lines at CNN.
Then both Cuomo brothers became anathema and lost their jobs, Andrew for sexually harassing women and shoving Covid cases into nursing homes, likely causing many deaths among a population most of whom were, in any case, “waiting for God.”
Chris lost his bully pulpit at CNN because he aided his brother in ways deemed journalistically inappropriate. And just maybe, when Andrew was no longer the Gov., Chris wasn’t as useful.
Since that happened in 2021 Chris has been comparatively out of the public eye, a former somebody. That is a tough transition to make.
Now comes word that Chris said he is “open” to supporting Trump, has voted for Republicans before, and is unhappy with Biden’s administration. Here at Red State you see he thinks we’re worse off than under Trump - as who doesn’t - and for all his personal foibles, Trump did it better.
A cynic would respond, “Isn’t it amazing what a onetime celebrity will do or say to regain the limelight? The attention is addictive.”
