WFB: CNN anchor Chris Cuomo took a shot at longtime morning competitor Joe Scarborough Thursday, accusing the Morning Joe host of having his “head way up Donald Trump’s ass” during the 2016 primary season.
“We beat Morning Joe’s ass 2.5 of the seasons that I was there,” Cuomo told The Hollywood Reporter. “We beat [Joe Scarborough] even though he had his head way up Donald Trump’s ass through the campaign and kept having him on the show.”
Before moving to his current 9 p.m. ET slot opposite Fox’s Sean Hannity and MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, Cuomo co-hosted New Day on CNN from 2013 to 2018, which airs in the same three-hour morning block as MSNBC’s flagship morning show hosted by Scarborough and his now-wife Mika Brzezinski.
The pair bristled at accusations they were too friendly with Trump when he first entered the Republican primary contest in June of 2015, saying they simply were more bullish on his chances than other media figures and pundits.
“People have the audacity to ask are we too close to Donald Trump. The answer is, ‘No, we’re not,'” Scarborough said in 2016.
CNN reported at the time NBC insiders were concerned about their chumminess, however. Rolling Stone sneered they became Trump’s “lapdogs,” referring to a town hall they hosted where a hot mic caught the trio speaking like old friends during a commercial break. more here
Now children, let’s be nice and stop acting like assholes.
The Bridesmaids are going at it…Probably Coordinated to
try and boost their awful ratings.
Whereas cuomo only has his head up his own ass.
Since Joe’s got Mika’s strap-on up his ass now, I guess some things really don’t change much…
@Bobcat: “Probably Coordinated to try and boost their awful ratings.”
Bingo!
He has to establish controversy to have _any_ interest in him.
He should go back and revive his campaign to make it acceptable for a 12 year old girl to ‘see” (i.e.: be exposed to) a man’s penis while she is in a girls bathroom, unaccompanied. That will boost his ratings for a show or two.
Cuomo cant help exposing the bad joke of what a democrat hack he is.
Keep up the good work!
this has to work out for him- if it doesn’t, his only other option is to go to ny and help his brother raise taxes and kill babies.
How could he see them up Trump’s ass while he was sucking Hillary’s dick?
Joe is only with Mika because all he thinks about is Zbigniew when have sex with her.
