CNN’s Chris Cuomo said Thursday that President Donald Trump’s reasoning for sending the New York terror suspect to Guantanamo Bay was because he was a Muslim and a “brown guy with a beard.”

Cuomo said on “New Day,” “I hear you. Here’s a fact also, guys. And I get it. And yes, I’m devil’s advocating here.”

“Here’s his face–I have a “brown”–because he really isn’t–but, I’ve got a brown guy with a beard who is a Muslim who said he wanted to kill us, and he’s proud of it, Phil Mudd. That’s the only fact I need, if I want to advance President Trump’s position, to treat this guy like what he is. He’s a savage. That’s his position. How do you deal with that?” (RELATED: Tucker Plays BIZARRE Clip Of CNN’s Chris Cuomo Talking Total Nonsense [VIDEO])
