[See NewsBusters for more.] Liberal CNN host Chris Cuomo on Friday gushed over the disgraced Al Franken, mourning his 2017 exit from the Senate amidst multiple allegations of unwanted touching. Cuomo almost completely ignored the scandal that ended Franken’s career, instead marveling at the Democrat’s intellect and passion: “Your voice is needed.” Instead of asking the former Minnesota Senator tough questions, Cuomo fawned, “Do you miss being in the Senate?” The obvious answer came: “Yes, of course I do. I mean it was I could do stuff for people.” Regarding Democrats who now regret forcing Franken out after groping allegations, Cuomo sympathized, “The New Yorker comes out with an article, eight of the Senators who were against you are in this article saying they regret it, and they say that to different degrees.... When you saw this, how did it hit you?”
