Ever since the 2020 election, CNN Prime Time host Chris Cuomo had been using more and more hate-filled and sometimes violent rhetoric to whip up his audience against the Republican Party on nearly every major issue. But on Monday, the Antifa terrorist-backing host claimed the GOP was waging a “holy war” against the United States to bring back Jim Crow laws. He also appeared to make up polling numbers to smear the party he despises.
Definitively declaring it’s “what I think” during his opening tirade, Cuomo smeared the GOP with lies. “My argument is, this is becoming some kind of perverse holy war for you guys. Hopefully, once again, Democrats will find a way to fight off the obvious intentions of people like Senator [Ron] Johnson [R-WI],” he sneered.
This came after Cuomo spent several minutes claiming Johnson was a racist for saying he would be afraid if Antifa and Black Lives Matter (the two groups who rioted and tore cities apart last summer) if they were raiding the Capitol. And in lashing out at the Senator, he left out the Antifa part and asserted the right only saw race:
“This has nothing to do with race.” Why distinguish between rioters by race? “Has nothing to do with race.” Why say the places where the election was rigged — which it was not — are predominantly minority areas? Why do you bring back the most odious laws suppressing the black vote, almost by design, since Jim Crow?
“You want a nice activity,” he rhetorically asked his viewers. “Google ‘Jim Crow Laws’ in states where they existed and compare them to the language, phraseology, and the intention of what’s sold in over 40 states right now, some 250 plus bills. Take a look and be shocked at the similarity.”
But despite Cuomo’s firm assurances that the Republican Party was trying to resurrect Jim Crow laws and demanded they come on his show to answer for their racism, Cuomo didn’t cite any particular legislation, didn’t highlight any particular language, nor did he show what the shocking similarities were.
Then again, “Google it” was the argument of those who were making claims they couldn’t back up.
At one point in his rant, Cuomo wanted to talk about the “better Johnson” and praised former President Lyndon B. Johnson. But even though President Johnson did sign the Civil Rights Act into law, he was a well-known racist who spoke about the black community using repugnant terms (See, Chris? We linked to a source).
But pushing false claims of racism wasn’t the only ridiculous thing about Cuomo’s rant.
In a bizarre start to his monologue, Cuomo tried to bash Republican men for supposedly being against getting the vaccine; claiming it was a sign of “toxic opposition.” “They have over 40 percent, within the number, of Republican men. 41 percent don’t want to take the vaccine. It is staggeringly high,” he proclaimed. But that’s not what the on-screen graphic said.
According to the graphic, that 41 percent was Republican men who “have gotten or will get COVID-19 vaccine ASAP.” That’s the opposite of what he was saying. Doing our due diligence, NewsBusters set out to try to find the poll Cuomo was citing in an attempt to make sense of the claims.
The graphic claimed the number came from Axios/Ipsos polling data (February 26 to March 1). But a robust search of the Axios and Ipsos websites turned up no such polling data. We did find a similar number on Axios claiming “Nearly half of Republican men — 49% — say they won’t choose to be vaccinated if a vaccine is available to them.” But they were citing NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist data, which had a margin of error of 3.4 (so not the best MOE).
So, did CNN and Cuomo fabricate a poll from another outlet to smear Republicans?
Chris Cuomo’s smears and lies against Republicans were made possible because of lucrative sponsorships from AT&T and E-Trade. Their contact information is linked so you can let them know about the biased news they fund.

CNN’s Cuomo Prime Time
March 15, 2021
9:00:30 p.m. Eastern(…)
CHRIS CUOMO: Toxic opposition. Look who does not want the vaccine. Look at the number on your screen. Trump’s main base of support. Why? No number, I promise you it’s there. We’re doing a whole segment on it tonight. Okay? They have over 40 percent, within the number, of Republican men. 41 percent don’t want to take the vaccine. It is staggeringly high.
(…)
Why don’t they want it, these white men who by and large were Trumpers? Trump’s whole game was the vaccine when it came to fighting the pandemic. Remember? The magic pill, this is it, Operation Warp Speed. If you look at it more closely, Trump has always pushed his base, and that’s what that demographic is, to believe only him. And now, for some of them, taking the vaccine is oddly compliance, surrender, a nod to Biden being president. And also, Trump won’t tell them any differently. He won’t tell them to take it.

9:07:49 p.m. Eastern
CUOMO: “This has nothing to do with race.” Why distinguish between rioters by race? “Has nothing to do with race.” Why say the places where the election was rigged — which it was not — are predominantly minoritys areas? Why do you bring back the most odious laws suppressing the black vote, almost by design, since Jim Crow?
You want a nice activity? Google “Jim Crow Laws” in states where they existed and compare them to the language, phraseology, and the intention of what’s sold in over 40 states right now, some 250 plus bills. Take a look and be shocked at the similarity.
Look, he [Sen. Ron Johnson] and anyone in that party who are for these laws are welcome to come on the show. Explain how these are about keeping the election safe, and that’s what you have to do limit access to the polls. Tell me how that makes it safe. Tell me why you call HR1 the devil’s work. Because it is the only single act that can stop this wave of legislation.
And here’s what I think. I never heard you use the devil’s work thing about ObamaCare. Why about this? My argument is, this is becoming some kind of perverse holy war for you guys. Hopefully, once again, Democrats will find a way to fight off the obvious intentions of people like Senator Johnson. They did it back in the day with a better Johnson. And here were his words about what they tried in the ’60s.
LYNDON B. JOHNSON: The Constitution says no person should be kept from voting because of his race or his color. [Transition] It is wrong, deadly wrong, to deny any of your fellow Americans the right to vote in this country. [Transition] All Americans must have the privileges of citizenship regardless of race.
CUOMO: You know, I used to hear that and be like, “Yeah, no kidding. Boy, we’ve come a long way.” Have we? Have we?

and there’s enough ignorant backs that actuaIy believe this crap!
Joe B In 1964, President Johnson and feminists declared fathers unnecessary for the make up of a family which was the initial step for the government took over that role. On January 8, 1964 President Johnson in his state of the union address declared a “war on poverty” then signed legislation for what was the beginning of “cradle to grave” social programs which have yet to produce any tangible results. On an open mic Johnson was heard to say in signing this bill “we will have those Ni**ers voting Democratic for the next 200 years”!! And unfortunately, the black community has IGNORED this fact instead focusing on that carrot Demoshits are fond on dangling in their face!! Instead, these social programs have grown to monstrous proportions because human nature always opts for the easy way out. It should be noted that black people are not the only Ni**ers! Ni**ers are present in ALL ethnicities! Being a Ni**er is an ATTITUDE not a skin color!!!
In 1973, the Supreme Court found, out of thin air, the ”right” to kill your unborn baby. In my opinion, those two decisions lead to the breakdown of society and the eventual destruction of America as we once knew it. Now we have the products of these insipid decisions running the streets completely miserable and as misery loves company these fools are not happy ( their version of being happy) unless all the rest of us are like them–Miserable as well!! It’s really very sad!
The black community has bought in to that as well. Black on Black crime is ignored but blames white supremacy for ALL their problems.
Yes. Race has been a defining issue for the Democrat party since its existence. Since 1964, democrats like Cuomo have been trying to absolve themselves of this past by rewriting the racist history of their party. In the process, they have assigned collective guilt to all of America, especially their political opponents, creating a caricature of Republicans as the real racist, and outright evil people.
Just because Republicans didn’t subscribe to the same overcompensation and “white guilt“ that plagued Democrats, didn’t make them racist. Just because Republicans didn’t support the same condescending policies of democrats, believing they were detrimental to the black community, didn’t make them racist, either. Sadly, the truth never mattered to democrats, who deliberately turned differences over public policy into prejudice.
Trace this back to its origins: Communism has been with us since 1900-1914 and by “Trickle Down” Indoctrination called Education we are saddled with 3-4 generations who are COLLEGE Indoctrinated to HATE the very system that makes them a living! In 1957 I was SAVED from continuing my college endeavors because I was in a class of mostly Korean Veterans and The Nautilus was just launched and it was college or Military. The Draft was still in place but my number was so low they would have drafted the Pope before I would be called. Hyman Rickover, the Father of Naval Nuclear Power, saved me from becoming an educated moron. Study the man and it should be obvious he did not suffer FOOLS lightly and you Performed at 110% of what you thought your capabilities were OR you were OUT.
Show me a student who did not have a solid grounding in FAITH, FAMILY & Country BEFORE going to college and I’ll show you a Progressive Liberal, and it’s now INFECTING Grade School.–Two years ago my youngest Grand was visiting and she was curious about this old mans many, varied experiences and we would talk for hours. I asked her one weekend how was school going? ” Well Papaw, my teacher told us today that we can’t plant enough trees to offset the Carbon we are spewing into the atmosphere”–Needless to say I was stunned and had to contain my anger at a Teacher INDOCTRINATING an 11-year-old when the teacher should have been Teaching my Grand HOW to LEARN. Age 11 is very impressable and even though she is always in the top 1% of all her studies she should NEVER be accosted by her teacher with her OPINIONS! Turning my Grand into a Greta Thunberg is UNFORGIVABLE.
Cuomo is a MORON who would ever watch his show. I can’t believe he can’t find anything to talk about that’s News. But then again he works for CNN fake news.
Johnny Cuomo has imbibed in far too much Lysergic Acid Diethylamide and Psilocybin
It must be Hereditary!
Has Cuomo gone to the ‘bathroom’ lately??? He’s ‘full of it’.
I didn’t know Cuomo was black? Got me. I never thought he was smart enough.
This man insults my intelligence. I don’t take kindly to having someone insult my intelligence. Fortunately for Cuomo, I am not someone who goes to blows over nonsense and stupidity. But, there are people who do. I hope for Cuomo’s sake that they don’t meet. The man is ugly and full of hate. He should try looking in the mirror.
Everyone knows democrats are the racists. That’s why they support burn, loot murder. Their own mission statement wants to tear nlack families apart, with no father figure. What has blm done for black communities with all the $ they’ve received? Anyone notice since they cheated xiden in the white house they’re not talking about black people anymore?! Just fueling the racial divide! I bet in 3 years they’ll start calling Republicans racists again!
David The term racist (a made up word) was invented in 1927 by Leon Trotsky. The word was used to “intimidate” all dissenters of the communist party. Today LIEberal Demoshits use the term in an attempt to shut down those who disagree with them. As far as I am concerned they have over played this card
LIEberal Demoshits see racism where it doesn’t exist, fabricate it when they cannot find it, and ignore it within their own ranks!!!
Correct on the TERM RACIST used to shut down the conversation. It has worked for the MEEK but it falls on deaf ears when used against me. I KNOW who I am and until you have walked a mile or even a Foot in my footsteps –Close your Pie hole– I don’t tolerate Morons well and my PTSD might kick in at the most inopportune moment.
Ridiculous! EVERYONE has the right to vote. EVERYONE must vote in person or have a REASON to vote by mail. EVERYONE must provide valid, verifyable picture identification. How is this obstructing minority voters? If they want to cartilage in elections, and I certainly hope they do, they only have to get to a voting site, wait in line like everyone does, and have a picture ID.
EVERYONE does not have a right to vote. CITIZENS, ages 18 and up, have a right to vote. I do agree, however, that verified identification must be provided.
Sheila No not everyone has a right to vote EXCEPT when Demoshits say they have the right . Felons do not have the right to vote unless the DNC decrees they can then it’s OK, non-citizens do not right to vote unless the DNC decrees they can then it’s OK One must consider Demoshits do not sanction any action unless THEY are the beneficiary.
It is my position if you cannot get your LAZY ASS to the polls you don’t vote. It is also my contention if one doesn’t have ID then they don’t vote.
If a credit card company can identify every single item you purchase instantly – why can’t our overpaid Government create a modern day, high tech, universal UNITED STATES VOTER OR ID CARD that can be swiped at the polling booths, INSTANT verification if someone is legally here in this country or has already voted, a RECEIPT printed that one can take with them after they vote, a personal account to verify their vote at home AND…. an automatic 5 year jail term and lifelong loss of voting rights if they are caught committing voter fraud by trying to vote more than once or using someone else’s ID Card? There MUST be a reason we don’t already have this… and my gut tells me it’s all about corruption in the SWAMP!
If anyone wants to believe it’s oppressive to have voter ID I suggest musing over the following: Here are just a few things you can’t do WITHOUT an ID card or government permission: Build a House ~ Drive a Car ~ Own a Gun ~ Go Fishing ~ Collect Rain Water ~ Own a Pet ~ Hunt ~ Cross the Road ~ Get Married ~ Leave the Country ~ Start a Business ~ Fly/Own Your Own Aircraft ~ Fly on a Commercial Airliner ~ Take Drugs ~ Work. Now actually try to think of and list something THAT DOESN’T require Government Permission!!! Now repeat after me we don’t have the means or capability to issue voter ID cards
He’s as insane as his perverted brother. All that family knows how and what to do is “ LIE “ to stir up more trouble ….. like we don’t have enough problems now da or dumbass Chris has to be like his big brother and stir the pot…. he’s not a journalist he’s a propagandist ….. the BEST THING CNN COULD DO IS FIRE HIM FOR SPEWING OUT MORE LIES AND HIS UNPROFESSIONALISM AS A TV NEWS CASTER… SOMETHING HE’S “ NOT “ anymore… people are tired of all the lies. From Politicians to news casters right on down the line. And you wonder why your ratings are in the toilet????????? NO ONE WANTS TO HEAR HIS GARBAGE ANYMORE….
Mark there is a REASON I label them “LIE”beral Demoshits can anyone figure out why??
He has no choice.
Biden and his policies have gotten so bad that even CNN has had to start questioning them. But CNN is still one of the biggest puppets of the left. Their only choice is to double down against the GOP to try and make them look bad in comparison to the current administration. Unfortunately for them, to do this they have to bend and/or omit certain facts – in some cases, many facts.
TRAITOR JOE BIDET has been in office for 47 years, – Chuck Schumer has been in office for 38 years. – Nancy Pelosi has been in office for 32 years. – Maxine Waters has been in office for 28 years. – Yet they blame all of America’s problems on Donald Trump who had served only one term. TRAITOR JOE BIDET (or any Demoshit for that matter) has adequately demonstrated why Trump was the best POTUS the Demoshit party ever nominated or held office.
What a complete liar! Wanting everyone to produce a Government issued ID to PROVE who they are IS NOT RACIST! It is COMMON SENSE and required by law in those States that care about legal voters. Everyone including Whites, Brown, Asian, and Native Americans, AND Blacks must show ID before voting. That includes requesting Absentee Ballots which should also NOT be sent out in MASS MAILINGS. No telling who used these ballots. You need an ID to do just about anything today and everyone should have one. They are very easy to obtain by everyone who is a legal voter. No excuses. I am a White person but have to show my State Issued ID AND my signature that is compared with my signature on file at the Supervisor of Elections in my County. No problem for everyone to do this no matter what race they are.
B-I-D-E-N Biggest Idiot Demoshits Ever Nominated
I agree everyone should have voter I.D. It is not racist to show I.D.
Voter ID… As was explained to me 50 years and more ago, asking for ID was to make sure you were registered to vote and were voting in the right place. Nothing more. And since all states now offer free voter ID, what is the problem? In person voting is a standing tradition since the days of the Greek city states. And should be considered a civic duty.
And perhaps Cuomo should get his brother to explain why so many of the women on his staff have made the accusations they have against him, rather than making up lies and falsehoods against half the population.
Chris Cuomo, quit trying to deflect the attention off your pathetic brother’s indiscretions. You two are peas in a pod – you both are as worthless as teats on a boar. The GOP is doing just the opposite you moron. They’re attracting and welcoming everyone to the party. I wish you and your brother would both just go away. You guys are sickening!
It is no surprise that AT&T (Arrogant Thugs and Thieves) is a sponsor of this kind of lying hate!
Cuomo has his HEAD in Joe China’s Hind Quarter 🤔🤔🤔🤔 ! He as STUIPED as his Bro. Andrew. They both need to see some Prison Time 😂😂😂😂 .
Him and his brother are nothing more than freaking thugs
