Disgraced former CNN host Chris Cuomo has stunned his fans on the Left by defending Trump voters and slamming Democrats for demonizing them.
In a post on social media, Cuomo called out the Democrats for demonizing everyone who voted for President Donald Trump.
He argued that some Trump supporters “are very open to reasonable, regular rhetoric.”
Cuomo started by questioning a story from a CNN reporter about Trump not wanting to leave the White House.
“Does this matter?” Cuomo said.
“Yes – in the pursuit of justice, which is happening aggressively by most accounts.
“However – do dems win more votes by chasing trump or catering to hopes and fears of those who were disaffected/desperate enough to vote for him?”
The backlash from the heartbroken Left was swift and fierce.
Outraged leftists condemned Cuomo while blasting Trump and his voters.
“What are you talking about?” Cuomo fired back.
“It is not a theory…it is a reality I witnessed in countless interviews with voters who saw their vote as a rejection of the norm…who knew their guy was deeply flawed but he was their guy and a rejection of what they also saw as malignant in dc.
“This is not about de- programming the irrational.
“I know many people who voted for him once, far fewer who voted for him for reelection.
“But they are not zealots.
“And they are very open to reasonable, regular rhetoric
“You are overstating and it hurts your ability to expand reach.
“Yang says many of his supporters are former trump voters.
“Why didn’t dems get them?
“Maybe because you demonize all who voted for him.
“I think you need to look more OFF twitter/social media.
“This place is not reality.
“It is an exaggeration that caters to fringe and those who profit from it.”
Some. Not all. You are overstating and it hurts your ability to expand reach. Yang says many of this nee supporters are former trump voters. Why didnt dems get them? Maybe because you demonize all who voted for him. https://t.co/L2Ej2pOpVV
