Chris Cuomo Defends Antifa By Saying Their Attacks on Police, Journalists Are ‘Not Equal’ to Bigots (Mediaite)
CNN host Chris Cuomo stuck his neck out for members of Antifa who got into physical altercations with police officers and journalists in Charlottesville over the weekend.
Cuomo began by mocking the “pathetic” turnout of white supremacists and neo-Nazis and praised the overwhelming turnout of counter protestors. He then spoke of the anti-fascist protestors “peppered” in the crowd who “confronted police and berated journalists,” which he said was “wrong.”
