NewsNation anchor Chris Cuomo has criticized the media for its “lack of reaction” regarding the second apparent Assassination Attempt against former President Donald Trump.

During the Monday night broadcast of his show, “Cuomo,” the anchor said the media was downplaying the incident that occurred Sunday when Trump was playing golf in West Palm Beach, Florida.

Secret Service agents saw a gun sticking out of hedges and foiled the Assassination Attempt, per The Hill.

“What if it was your father? Or what if it was Kamala Harris or President Biden? God forbid,” Cuomo said. “Do you think that it would be almost a shoulder shrug and more of talk about the Secret Service and allocation of funds, than just, how crazy it is that this is what’s happening in our country?”

Cuomo also addressed those who said, “But the guy didn’t even shoot.”

He said, “He had an AK-47 pointed at him. The reaction is unacceptable. And it’s the second time media and political players have gotten away with playing down what should be a cause for panic.”

The anchor also criticized billionaire Elon Musk, who posted a “joke,” which questioned why “no one is even trying” to assassinate Biden or Harris. The post has since been deleted.

“Elon Musk – I’m a believer in this guy’s potential, OK? – Now, he hasn’t learned that erasing the tweet doesn’t make it go away. It only shows that he knows what he said was stupid, and that is what hinting about targeting Harris is: It’s stupid,” Cuomo said.

“I know he’s a genius. I don’t care if he’s autistic. What he said is stupid, and it’s a nod to what gets too much energy from all of us. Elon Musk could be leading the way to a better dialog in our society,” he added. “I don’t know why he’s undercutting his own significance with these cheap shots. I want to work with him. I believe in his platform. I believe in him, but not in what he’s doing.”

Biden and Harris are not doing enough, Cuomo said.

He said: “It is just as troubling to me to hear about fake stories of eating cats and dogs, as it is to hear fake concern by our sitting president and almost nothing from the Democrat who wants to lead us about what happened with Trump. We don’t condone violence? Who says that? What does that even mean.”

“We need a lot more than that right now,” he added.

Cuomo mentioned that he talked on the phone with Trump to check in on his well-being. He then shared feedback for the former president.

“Look, I hear what Trump is saying. Trump blames the Democrats and their attacks on him as a threat to democracy for the violence directed toward him. He then says that they are the real threats to democracy. So if it’s wrong that they’re threatening him that way by calling him that, why would he call them that?” he said.
