Ted Cruz wrecked CNN’s Chris Cuomo this morning for “clutching his pearls” over Martha McSally’s comment calling CNN reporter Manu Raju a liberal hack.
First, here’s Cuomo’s commentary if you can bear to watch it, where he literally says “I can’t believe people would vote for her to fill McCain’s seat.” If you want, you can read the transcript of it over at RCP:
Ted Cruz responded to the video this morning…
NY Dem royalty Chris Cuomo declares “I can’t believe people would vote for” McSally, or McConnell, or any GOP candidate. Clutching his pearls, in the very same breath, he says he can’t understand why anyone might think CNN are liberal hacks…. 🤔 https://t.co/CwMGYrT0Nc

A few minutes later hie followed up with this barb:
Pro tip: real “journalists” don’t (1) kiss up to every Dem, (2) refuse to ask them hard Qs, (3) relentlessly attack every Republican, (4) lie when doing so & (5) always, always push the prevailing Dem narrative of the moment. You know this, as does Manu. You just choose not to.

He’s absolutely right. And the best example of this is recently when Manu Raju, among many other reporters, continually carried the water of House Democrats as they leaked information out of their star chamber interrogations trying to find dirt to impeach Trump. They never would ask Democrats the hard questions, which Republicans like Zeldin and Jordan pointed out on many occasions.
