CNN's Cuomo Uses Gilroy Shooting as an Excuse to Attack President Trump

During his closing argument Monday night, CNN host Chris Cuomo brought up the shooting in Gilroy, California and how the shooter promoted a "white supremacist book from the late 1800s" on his Instagram page right before the shooting. Cuomo painted a picture of an epidemic of hate crimes, white supremacist groups, racist rallies, and white supremacist propaganda before attempting to lay the blame for the epidemic at the feet of President Trump. Cuomo complained that "too many are saying, well, we don't know that this guy was a real racist or a real white supremacist" before slamming that train of thought as rationale "extended as protection to this President for not addressing what seems pretty clear about why this happened." Cuomo stressed, "I am not blaming the President" while arguing "what you ignore, you empower" and asking "why strain to defend people in Charlottesville? Why play down what happened in New Zealand and why?"
