CNN host Chris Cuomo devoted his closing argument Thursday night to trashing President Trump for bringing back the death penalty. He opened by declaring "this President wants to start killing people again on the federal level in the name of justice." Cuomo tried using religion to make the point that the death penalty is morally wrong: "this new appeal to vengeance sounds powerful, but is taking a life a show of strength? Let's look at it different ways. Not to Jesus. His core message for believers was love, mercy." According to Cuomo, "if you're pro-life and pro-death penalty, you've got an inconsistency. And if you argue, well, fetuses are innocent and these people are guilty, then send any Christian back to the source. Did Jesus say you decide who lives and dies?"
