Chris Cuomo\u00a0called out Democrats for their apparent refusal to criticize Vice President\u00a0Kamala Harris\u00a0since she became the Democrat’s nominee for president.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On Tuesday\u2019s episode of The Chris Cuomo Project<\/em>, the former CNN and current NewsNation anchor claimed her supporters now treat her like \u201cBlack female Jesus\u201d when, according to him, many of them didn\u2019t even like her just months prior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cKamala Harris is not a godsend, alright?\u201d Cuomo said. \u201cYou people didn\u2019t even like her six months ago! Now, all of the sudden, she\u2019s black female Jesus the way [Barack Obama] was Black Jesus. And let me tell you something: he had a lot more going for him than Kamala Harris does \u2014 and not just as firsts go \u2014 but his type of campaigning, his type of persuasion his charisma. He was imbued with things that she is not. And I don\u2019t mean that as a criticism. It\u2019s just a point of comparison. And her process fucked her also. There\u2019s a convenience in it, but it fucked her also because there are a lot of misgivings about her. There is an underlying feeling that she didn\u2019t get this the right way, she may not have won a primary. She didn\u2019t even make it to the first round of primaries when she did run; and that is both fair and unfair at the same time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cuomo then claimed Democrats refuse to criticize her as she\u2019s running against\u00a0Donald Trump. He believes that\u2019s a mistake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBut look, this idea of, \u2018Don\u2019t say anything bad about her because Trump,\u2019 I don\u2019t buy that,\u201d he continued. \u201cI don\u2019t buy that, and it\u2019s not how you get to a better place. It\u2019s a relative assessment. She has negatives. So does he. Does he have more? Yeah. He also has a way more intense following. That\u2019s why this race is so tight. Now explain that to me. Unless you want to write off half this country as bigots, how do you explain it being so tight? Maybe you\u2019re not as right about everything as you think you are. Maybe you should be a little bit more to open to the people that you disagree with. Maybe they\u2019re not all racists.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
