CNN commentator, Chris Cuomo, already handicapped by getting the short end of the intellectual gene supply in the Cuomo family, decided to pick a fight with Carly Fiorina by attempting to link the Planned Parenthood shooting to the Republican candidate.
It was quickly apparent that Cuomo went into battle woefully unprepared, as Fiorina tore into him for the ridiculous assertion that she had somehow set off the Planned Parenthood shooter.
Via Mediaite:
“Do you feel any sense of regret about how you characterized what was going on at Planned Parenthood after the attack in Colorado?” Cuomo asked. “Because of what the man said which seems as though he was influenced by some of the rhetoric coming out of you and others that painted a very ugly picture and unfair one about Planned Parenthood.”
Fiorina was less than enthused about the question. “Oh, please. Really, Chris?” she asked.
“What happened in Colorado is a terrible thing, this guy is a deranged murderer, and I hope he is put away for life,” she said. “It may be that we should be classifying that as domestic terrorism as well. But that has nothing to do with the truth of what is going on in Planned Parenthood, and this is a typical left-wing tactic, to try and shut down the truth by silencing people.”
Cuomo continued to try and make Fiorina out to be responsible for the shooting by lying about the Planned Parenthood videos. He asserted over and over again that “the videos were edited!”
Except that they weren’t, as evidenced by a non-partisan forensic analysis which said the undercover videos recorded by the Center for Medical Progress are ‘authentic and show no evidence of manipulation.’
“I think you’ve bought the Planned Parenthood line, hook, line and sinker,” Fiorina charged Cuomo. “Good to know that.”
She later reminded Cuomo how Sarah Palin was similarly falsely blamed for the Gabby Giffords shooting, something he professed to have no knowledge about. While not having knowledge about something is entirely plausible for Cuomo, the idea that he had no idea that Sarah Palin was blamed for the Giffords shooting is a bit far-fetched.
