Fox News’ Tucker Carlson thinks CNN’s Chris Cuomo was a “buffoon” but made the right decision to help defend his brother, former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D), against sexual harassment allegations. What did
After spending a few minutes Tuesday night deriding the CNN host as a “buffoon,” Carlson began to defend Cuomo.
“The only thing you can’t do at CNN, the thing they will never tolerate, is offend the people in charge. That doesn’t just mean Jeff Zucker, who runs the company, but the billionaires who run our country. “If you cross them, you’re done,” Carlson said.
He even said he “knew it was curtains for Chris Cuomo” when he saw an article in The Atlantic titled, “Chris Cuomo Must Go.”
“The Atlantic concluded that Chris Cuomo was deeply disrespectful for daring to help his brother, the former governor of New York, when he was accused of sexual harassment,” he said.

On Tuesday, CNN announced that it had suspended Chris Cuomo indefinitely after documents revealed how involved he was in defending Andrew Cuomo.
In a statement, the network said, “The documents, which we did not know about before their release to the public, raise serious questions. When Chris admitted to us that he advised his brother’s staff, Granted, he violated our policies, and we publicly acknowledged that.”
