Chris Cuomo slams media for ignoring border crisis: ‘We’re the ones being fooled.’

Chris Cuomo Calls Out Legacy Media for Ignoring Southern Border Crisis

Former CNN host Chris Cuomo didn’t hold back when he reported from the southern border on Monday, criticizing legacy media for failing to properly cover the ongoing crisis. Cuomo argued that the absence of massive crowds should be more concerning than their presence, as it suggests that illegal immigrants have already been taken to other parts of the country.

The Media’s Mistake

“The media made a big mistake taking a pass on this because we don’t have the spectacle of massive crowds, okay? The absence should be more frightening because we need to know the answer of where they are, and it really is an indication of how broken this system is,” Cuomo said.

He went on to criticize both major political parties for failing to act on the issue, suggesting that they often choose not to because it benefits them politically.

A Joke on Us

“Right and Left are wholly unreasonable on this issue. The Right couldn’t wait for the hordes to come through, and then when they did and we have our president laughing, ‘Ha ha ha. It’s not as bad as you expected.’ Really? With record numbers being processed and released into America. It’s no laughing matter, but if it is a joke, the joke is on us, because the people in power are allowing this to continue,” Cuomo continued.

Insight from Jorge Ventura

Cuomo then spoke with journalist Jorge Ventura to get more insight into the situation. Watch the video below:
