‘Forget Politics’: Chris Cuomo Really Wants You To Be Offended By Trump-Harris Debate Handshake

NewsNation host Chris Cuomo suggested during a Thursday podcast that his audience should resent how former President Donald Trump shook Vice President Kamala Harris’ hand during their debate.

When Harris and Trump took the stage for their Tuesday night debate on ABC News, the vice president walked past her podium to shake his hand and introduce herself. Cuomo, on “The Chris Cuomo Project,” asserted that the former president’s behavior during the handshake was off-putting to everyone who watched.

“From the first moment, it was exactly what Trump should have never allowed it to be. When Kamala Harris walked over — ‘Yeah, hello Kamala, Kamala, hi’ …  from that moment, it was a, ‘What the fuck are you doing? What are you doing?’ Just forget 🏛️Politics,” Cuomo said. “Forget 🏛️Politics. Imagine what your wife, what your husband would say if you were in a situation like that, and the woman came up to you to shake hands, and you treated her like that.”

“From that jump, you’re giving it away. You know the idea of ‘fake it till you make it’? You want to be president of the United States? Nobody wants someone representing them who’s going to treat that woman like that in that moment,” he continued. “We both know it. Why? From the moment it started, he allowed it to be the only thing that he could not let it be. Shocked me.”
