Tuesday night on Cuomo Prime Time, CNN host Chris Cuomo declined to condemn Democrat Maxine Waters’ inflammatory statements that liberals should harass Trump administration officials. Instead, he blamed President Donald Trump’s “divisive rhetoric” for a lack of civility in the country. Despite having two different guests challenge him on his 9:00 EST show, Cuomo refused to directly condemn statements from the Congresswoman that have most certainly incited action.

Cuomo’s first guest, Iowa Rep. Steve King showed deep concern for his colleagues in light of recent harassment of Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, Secretary of Transportation Elaine Chao, and Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen. King stated:

“I'm watching that be suppressed around the country with intimidation, attacks on my colleagues. I think they waited about a year for the anniversary of the shooting of Steve Scalise and others, and now, they're starting to challenge the members of this administration out in the restaurants and around the streets of America. That is something we should be concerned about, Chris.”

Instead of acknowledging the issue that Waters created, Cuomo flipped it back onto King, telling him “you’re part of the mix.” He then moved on to his whiteboard to show viewers how Paul Ryan, whom he called a “moral standard,” has lost his spine.

“[Ryan] gave a soft stance on one of his own members, Steve King, who was just on, retweeting a neo-Nazi saying, yes, that shouldn't be part of the dialogue. ‘But Maxine Waters, the Democrat, she should apologize,’ he says in full voice. Why? Well, telling people to protest the administration, we don't need that.”

Cuomo complained that President Trump has said dozens more inflammatory things. However, what he did not say was that conservatives are not the ones who are harassing members of the administration. Cuomo’s next challenge comes from panelist Jason Miller, who brings up a wanted poster for Stephen Miller, a top White House advisor. Cuomo backed down slightly, but then pivoted to his other guest, CNN Political Analyst Van Jones:

“And you know what? And I don't like it. And I don't like whataboutism. But I've got to tell you something -- Van Jones, when the president of the United States, then a citizen is trying his damnedest to convince people that the president is a Muslim who wasn't born in this country, who some kind of Manchurian candidate, that was pretty damn dangerous too. And you didn't hear Jason Miller or anybody else opposing it.”

Liberal violence seems to be ramping up at an alarming rate and yet media personalities refuse to condemn it, preferring to pin the situation on Trump.
