Cuomo kicked off his show by decrying the strict curfews cities around the country were putting in place to stop rioters and looters, and painted them as purely a way to crack down on the actual peaceful protesters. “It is a sad day when we need curfews in our cities. America's major cities are filled with people demanding this country become more fair, more just and ironically, more united,” he whined.

Despite the fact that most people wanted justice for George Floyd, Cuomo pretended like that wasn’t true. “Now, too many see the protests as the problem. No, the problem is what forced your fellow citizens to take to the streets, persistent, and poisonous, inequities, and injustice.”
