Letitia James\u2019 report also noted that Chris Cuomo had received confidential information and advised the governor on how to avoid legal ramifications, regardless of guilt.<\/p>\n<p>Yet Chris Cuomo ignored the charges from Tuesday through Thursday, as did guest host Michael Smerconish when he filled in on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, the network is scheduled to air a one-hour special about Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), hosted by Dana Bash in place of the program.<\/p>\n<p>Rather than discuss the most significant story of the day, Cuomo and Smerconish spent virtually their entire shows attacking Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) over his opposition to requiring schoolchildren to wear masks in public schools.<\/p>\n<p>Cuomo, who dubbed his show the \u201cCOVID Command Center,\u201d has moved from blaming the Republican governor for the low vaccination rate to stating that his opposition to top-down government mask mandates for children as young as five costs lives.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLess than 20 percent of Republicans support businesses mandating vaccinations for their employees, over 80 percent of Democrats do,\u201d Cuomo said. \u201cThe farther you go to the Right, the more the resistance is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He blamed multiple Republicans, including Senators Rand Paul (R-KY) and John Kennedy (R-LA). But he focused on DeSantis, who is widely considered a frontrunner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.<\/p>\n<p>Cuomo blamed DeSantis for saying, \u201cAs a parent, you know, I would like that choice. I, for, particularly for young kids, many of these kids, by the way, have recovered from COVID.\u201d Cuomo described that as a \u201cfalse argument.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On Thursday\u2019s episode of \u201cCuomo Prime Time,\u201d he said the governor\u2019s support for individual choice is \u201cworking for him with popularity, but not for his state with the pandemic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cuomo then spent a segment interviewing Charlie Crist, then former Republican-turned-Democratic governor of Florida now running against DeSantis.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur governor is playing Russian roulette with the people of Florida,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>But Crist said that Floridians have reason for hope because a poll \u201chas me up on him by about 2 points if the election for governor were held today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On Friday\u2019s episode, Smerconish featured DeSantis footage, then interviewed John and Robyn McCarthy, who are suing DeSantis over his anti-school masking order. They fear their six-year-old son, who has asthma, would be overly susceptible to the virus and would lose his place at a high-performing magnet school if he attends a virtual school.<\/p>\n<p>Smerconish did not raise the possibility that greater school choice might solve the issue.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/brutal-takedown-of-andrew-cuomos-sexual-harassment-airs-on-cnn\">Unlike previous nights<\/a>, Don Lemon relegated the charges against Governor Cuomo to one segment in the middle of his second hour on Thursday. \u201cCBS Evening News\u201d also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/cbs-evening-news-andrew-cuomo-scandals\">omitted<\/a> coverage of the scandal on Thursday night. However, Lemon prominent featured the story on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>CNN says that Cuomo is on a long-planned vacation to <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2021\/08\/06\/chris-cuomo-goes-on-vacation-amid-cnn-andrew-scandal\/\">celebrate<\/a> his 51st birthday, although he just took vacation most of <a href=\"https:\/\/transcripts.cnn.com\/show\/CPT\/date\/2021-07-20\/segment\/01\">the week<\/a> of July 19.<\/p>\n<p>Cuomo and his network have come under increasing scrutiny for their relative silence on the host\u2019s familial conflict of interest. Rival cable news network MSNBC <a href=\"https:\/\/www.msnbc.com\/opinion\/biden-calls-andrew-cuomo-resign-he-s-not-only-cuomo-n1275856\">posted<\/a> an op-ed stating that Chris Cuomo \u201cshould resign from covering politics or be fired. It\u2019s extremely inappropriate and unethical for a journalist to advise and craft the statements of a politician, regardless of family relation.\u201d The Poynter Institute for Media Studies <a href=\"https:\/\/www.poynter.org\/newsletters\/2021\/this-chris-cuomo-story-isnt-going-to-go-away-for-cnn\/\">posted<\/a> two <a href=\"https:\/\/www.poynter.org\/ethics-trust\/2021\/dont-blame-chris-cuomo-for-his-brothers-actions-blame-him-for-his-own-actions\/\">articles<\/a> on the twin Cuomo scandals. Boston Herald columnist Joe Battenfeld <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bostonherald.com\/2021\/08\/04\/battenfeld-hey-cnn-take-embarrassing-chris-cuomo-off-the-air\/\">wrote<\/a>, \u201cCNN has to do the right thing and remove Chris Cuomo from its prime time lineup.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yet the present \u201cvacation\u201d is the first sign any action is in the works.
