One of CNN’s blind squirrels seems to have found nuts two nights in a row last week — and, wonder of wonders, it was Chris Cuomo.

In fact, in the second it was so surprising that the other members of the panel were nodding along in agreement until they realized just what it was they were agreeing to.

The panel took place after the president’s address to the nation in which he made the case for the border wall.

And, lo and behold, Cuomo made it right along with him.

“Let’s just get something straight for the audience right now because this is one of those things that’s literally been bothering me — almost ruined my vacation,” Cuomo said.

“There is a barrier system all along the southern border. They need more.”

This is indeed true; in fact, the Border Patrol chief for the Rio Grande Valley Sector noted that 96 percent of foot traffic crossing the border came in through one of two corridors because there wasn’t adequate fencing on that side. (Jim Acosta, we assume, picked the other side when he noted how safe fences were.)

As a video posted by The Dailer Caller demonstrates, Cuomo got a lot of nods until the rest of the panel realized what this was.

“Anybody who does the reporting, anybody who talks to the people down there doing the work — the men and women — they need more of what the president is increasingly describing as his own idea for a bollard fence,” Cuomo said.

The “bollard fence” is the type of slatted steel wall that you’ve seen so frequently lately, either on Trump’s Twitter account or in Jim Acosta videos.

Anyway, the other panelists suddenly realized what he was saying and went after him.

“The Democrats are saying it’s not necessary because there are other ways to attack the problem that are better,” panelist Gloria Borger said.

“But is that true?” Cuomo responded. “Who says that a barrier isn’t helpful?”

“Sure, there are real arguments that barriers are helpful,” another panelist noted. “In certain locations. In certain ways. Many experts argue we don’t need as much wall as Trump suggests.”

Still, Cuomo managed to make an argument for the wall — just as he’d done the night before with Don Lemon.

“Wanting barriers along the border is not propaganda,” Cuomo had said the previous night. “It’s not immoral. It’s not wrong.”
