During Wednesday's edition of Cuomo Prime Time, host Chris Cuomo blasted President Trump, blaming him as well as conservative media for the mail bombs sent to his place of business and other influential figures in the Democratic Party.  According to Cuomo, "Our President cannot escape special scrutiny. He is at the head of the hate parade and way too often." He dismissed the President's call for unity as "prepared remarks" and accused him of seeming "not to give a damn." Cuomo continued his rant: "He is the one that calls opponents the enemy, calls a free press the enemy, celebrates violence toward the media, celebrates force as strength, targets the same folks who received the packages, and he knows it." Cuomo concluded that President Trump was "not the only part of the problem," before slamming "the cottage industry on the right that has glommed onto him to forward their pernicious agenda of extreme ideas" as "jingoists and frauds" and stressed that "they are not journalists."
