CNN’s Cuomo Used Media Sources to Dig into Brother Andrew’s Accusers

CNN blowhard Chris Cuomo, host of Cuomo Prime Time, used his media sources to dig up info on his brother, lethally incompetent former Governor Andrew Cuomo’s, sexual harassment accusers, according to recent texts and interview transcripts.

Text messages released by NY Attorney General Letitia James show Chris Cuomo had frequent contact with Melissa DeRosa, Andrew’s top aide at the time. In early March, the New York Times reported that the former governor tried kissing a woman, Anna Ruch, without her consent. Three days after this report, Chris Cuomo texted DeRosa, “I have a lead on the wedding girl.”

Other messages indicated Chris Cuomo’s willingness to help with his brother’s response and preparation on the sexual harassment allegations. “Please let me help with the prep,” Cuomo told DeRosa in one text.

In another text, Chris Cuomo sent DeRosa a fully written statement for the governor to use publicly: “I will not resign, I cannot resign. I understand the political pressure I understand the stakes of political warfare, and that’s what this is… And I understand the conformity that can be forced by cancel culture.”

DeRosa texted Cuomo, “Rumor going around from politico 1-2 more ppl coming out tomorrow. Can u check your sources?” Cuomo replied with, “On it,” then followed up with, “No one has heard that yet.”

Cuomo and DeRosa also discussed an investigative story from New Yorker reporter Ronan Farrow four days before it was published on March 18. “If If ronan has nothing better than boylan thats a great sign,” Chris Cuomo texted DeRosa on March 14. Lindsey Boylan was a former aide to the governor who alleged that Andrew Cuomo said to her, “Let’s play strip poker” while on a private plane.

This revelation has sparked a surge of calls, even among his fellow media propagandists, for Chris Cuomo to resign from CNN. Any other so-called “journalist” would be fired over this collusion to protect his brother’s political career.

Cuomo Admits He Advised His Brother on Sex Scandal & Apologizes to CNN

On May 20, 2021, Cuomo apologized on air for having advised his older brother, Governor Andrew Cuomo, on how he ought to handle his ongoing sexual harassment scandal. Said Chris Cuomo:

“If you’ll remember, I told you, back in the beginning of March, I can’t cover my brother’s troubles. It wouldn’t be fair. And you got it then, and I appreciate you understanding. Now today, there are stories out there about me offering my brother advice. Of course I do. This is no revelation. I have said it publicly and I certainly have never hidden it. I can be objective about just about any topic, but not about my family. Those of you who watch this show get it. Like you, I bet, my family means everything to me, and I am fiercely loyal to them. I am family first, job second.

“But being a journalist and a brother to a politician is unique and a unique challenge, and I have a unique responsibility to balance those roles. It’s not always easy. People can say and write what they want, but I want you to know the truth. How I helped my brother also matters. When my brother’s situation became turbulent, being looped into calls with other friends of his and advisers that did include some of his staff, I understand why that was a problem for CNN. It will not happen again. It was a mistake. Because I put my colleagues here, who I believe are the best in the business, in a bad spot. I never intended for that. I would never intend for that, and I am sorry for that. It’s also important for you to understand, not only do I not cover this here, I’ve never tried to influence this network’s coverage of my brother. In fact, I’ve been walled off from it.

“This is a unique and difficult situation, and that’s okay. I know where the line is. I can respect it and still be there for my family, which I must. I have to do that. I love my brother, I love my family, I love my job, and I love and respect my colleagues here at CNN. And again, to them, I am truly sorry.”
