CNN’s Chris Cuomo tonight said President Donald Trump has created a big “farce” around his push for a border wall.

“The President is more tied to a political perception of a promise that matters not so much to voters like you, or even to the base, if you’re out there watching, but to the farthest right most anti-immigrant people in the game,” Cuomo said.

He told viewers Trump is “playing you for a sucker” and “selling you on a consensus that doesn’t exist.”

“‘Most Americans want the wall.’ Show me,” Cuomo said. “I haven’t seen it.”

.@ChrisCuomo: Pres. Trump has created an entire farce around "the wall." Farce defined: A dramatic work including crude characterizations and ludicrous improbable situations. This is not about little gotchas on the facts or misspeaking… this a gross manipulation of reality. pic.twitter.com/dzFkInva05 — Cuomo Prime Time (@CuomoPrimeTime) January 8, 2019

He closed by directly addressing the President and saying, “Don’t take a step further into the farce… This shutdown is on you because you told us that.”
