In a preamble, Cuomo said that “if you’re a Nazi, or you’re a hater, or wanna eradicate people, anti-Semitic — something like that — then you have no value, then I don’t have you on the show.”
“But if you have ideas that are controversial, if you’re somebody who outrages people because of what you say you want for this country or others that aren’t about destroying or hurting people, they’re just different, then that’s about conversation,” continued Cuomo before suggesting that Hinkle’s “ideas” are “resonant.”
Hinkle went on to advocate the cessation of all American aid to Israel.
“What happens if you cease all military aid for Israel? You’re gonna have Israel collapse as a country. And then you would have one country where hopefully people can get along like they have for generations and generations prior to 1948,” said Hinkle.
Notably, Cuomo did not mention Hinkle’s spread of disinformation about the war or conspiracy-mongering about Jews. Since the outbreak of the war, Hinkle has ceaselessly spread blatant falsehoods about Israel, using footage from the Syrian civil war to suggest it had bombed a Gazan hospital, and falsely citing Haaretz in an effort to downplay the atrocities committed by Hamas on October 7.
He has also promoted an incomprehensible conspiracy theory connecting “high chairs and stained mattresses” stored in New York City’s “secret underground synagogue tunnels” with a Reddit produced “map of registered sex offenders living in Israel,” as well as declared that “every Zionist woman” in his “DM’s [sic] is ugly as hell.”
As CNN’s Jake Tapper pointed out on X in response to the interview, Hinkle has also denied that Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad has used chemical weapons, even calling him a “hero.”
In a statement to Mediaite, Cuomo defended his interview: “It is clearly untrue that I have ever, or would ever, give any deference to any kind of anti-semitism. This is another cheap hit piece. I get that some in the media want to say what can and can not be said. People can make quick work of why Hinkle has such a robust following, and how they feel about his ideas. Mediaite can try to frame me as an apologist for a bigot…but that is about their toxic agenda, not the truth.”
I recommend that you read the whole article.

Okay can these people who don’t have a fucking clue what they are protesting about listen to this man.
This is the son of one Hamas founders and I think it’s safe to say he knows what Hamas is all about and it isn’t about helping the people of Palestine!!

Chris Cuomo got a lot of shit for helping his brother, but he was the only person with a big platform regularly talking about Long Covid. He was the first news person I even heard mention it in a serious way on tv, and he continued warning people and speaking up until he was fired. It’s so fucked up that no one took that spot after him and kept highlighting the ways Long Covid has fucked up so many people’s lives. It’s sad.

Cuomo context: Gov Mario Cuomo (Andrew and Chris dad) was the one who essentially took John under his wing, sat him down and really helped mentor him to get him to pass the bar exam.
I’m not sure he was close to Andrew, but he was good friends with Chris - Chris has mentioned him a few times over the years and spoken about them hanging out together.
Also worth noting the Kennedy family had this unspoken rule when it came to family events, you didn’t have to invite the whole family, but at least one from each “branch”. John would’ve been invited as the jfk branch of the family and would likely go when Caroline didnt/couldn’t.
I can definitely see that being part of it but I'm just apprehensive because of Andrew and his overall attitude and stuff. I don't know if the thing about inviting one part from each side makes sense in this situation because Caroline did go as well as Jackie.

Take a look at his again. Unfortunately this is how I feel about politics in the USA right. One big dumpster fire. It's really ok to not like either side and not want any candidate you see. It just means you aren't buying into the game. Don't be average or extreme.

Here's an opinion I wouldn't think I'd ever have: Chris Cuomo's coverage from Tel Aviv on NewsNation is very good. Yes, that Chris Cuomo. It's odd, it's the same guy and he's turning out to be a decent war correspondent. So very, very strange.

Source:The New Democrat
Pat Buchanan with I believe the question of the day. Against Obama, but for what? Republicans are obviously against President Barack Obama and fire is hot, in case you need any other obvious facts. But what are they for and what do the actually want to pass into law in the next Congress. Now that they will control both the House and Senate and with a solid if not big…
