‘You’re So Desperate’: Chris Cuomo Blasts Left for Claiming They’re Less Violent ‘Right After’ Kirk Assassination

NewsNation host Chris Cuomo condemned the political left on “The Chris Cuomo Project” Thursday for arguing they are less violent than the right in the immediate aftermath of the assassination of Turning Point USA (TPUSA) founder Charlie Kirk.

Multiple Democrats blamedRepublicans for a rise in political violence following Kirk’s assassination on Sept. 10. Cuomo, on his podcast, accused the left of making the inflammatory claim about who is “more violent” as “clickbait.”

“This game of the battle to the bottom of which side is worse — you guys are literally debating who’s more violent, the right or the left. ‘There is no statistical evidence that the left is anywhere near as violent in 🏛️Politics. The ADL , everybody’ — that’s your argument?” Cuomo said. “Right after Charlie Kirk was shot in the neck by a guy who thought he was standing up for his trans lover? He just shot him in the neck.”

“You’re going to make the case that it’s all about the right? How stupid do you have to be? It’s not about stupidity. It’s about convenience,” he continued. “You’re so desperate for clickbait. You’re so desperate to be relevant, to be in the mix that you say whatever is going to get you the clicks. Change the game. Change the game.”
