‘Journalists’ and their fellow Democrats have two ways of addressing hate-driven violence: either it comes entirely from the Republican Party/MAGA, or when one of their own acts on the Democrats', ‘He’s a fascist, he’s a Nazi,’ rhetoric, it suddenly becomes a both sides of the aisle problem. NewsNation’s Chris Cuomo went with option two on Thursday, seemingly placing the recently assassinated Charlie Kirk in the bag with all the hate-spewers.
That’s when guest Benny Johnson pushed back hard. (READ)
HOLY SMOKES: Benny Johnson just SNAPPED at Chris Cuomo for implying the hate is coming from both sides...including from Charlie Kirk.
Cuomo immediately tried to walk it back…because he knew what was coming.What followed was scorched earth.
“Charlie Kirk has NEVER advocated violence..ever! Charlie Kirk was ONLY a nonviolent, peaceful debater.”
“You’ll never be able to chew me out Chris, because I’ll never dehumanize.”
“Now, I can show you an ENDLESS series of TikToks and celebration posts, and t-shirts made celebrating this travesty.”
“There is a fundamental difference of those who glorify death on the left, and it is DEMONIC, it’s sick and it’s dark and it NEEDS to be disavowed.”
Here’s the full exchange. (WATCH)
This is so tiring.
Posters were expectedly fuming at what they heard from Cuomo.
F*** Cuomo!
Don’t you ever talk about Charlie Kirk or our movement that way again.
Good job to Benny for not putting up with that bull****.

MAGA and Republicans are no longer going to take the 'heated rhetoric' blame or partial blame when someone on their own side is murdered in cold blood.
Posters were not buying Cuomo’s on-air backtracking.
Cuomo will never do that.
Cuomo later released a video on X where he tried to smooth things over. It was met with derision because most didn’t believe it. (WATCH)
Exactly.
There have been many attacks on Republicans that the media has conveniently memory-holed. It’s the refusal by the media to acknowledge these attacks in the recent coverage of Kirk’s assassination that has MAGA angry and throwing off the ‘both sides’ nonsense.
Sadly, the hypocrisy and lies are here to stay until the ‘news’ networks go dark.
