Chris Cuomo Says Kamala Harris ‘Is Not A Godsend’ In A Hot Take That Is Yikes!

Chris Cuomo said that Kamala Harris is “not a godsend” and that criticism of the Democratic presidential nominee is warranted. (Watch the video below.)
Cuomo, now a host on NewsNation, trended on X, formerly called Twitter, Wednesday morning for his provocative take, which he gave on the latest episode of “The Chris Cuomo Project.” He also exhorted his audience to be open to the opinions of Donald Trump’s supporters, who offer the Republican nominee a “way more intense following.”
The fired CNN star and brother of former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) did not come out in favor of the former president but at times leaned awfully close while offering his candid thoughts on Harris.
“Kamala Harris is not a godsend, alright?” he said. “You people didn’t even like her six months ago! Now all of a sudden, she’s Black female Jesus, the way Obama was Black Jesus. And let me tell you something. He had a lot more going for him than Kamala Harris does — and not just as firsts go — but his type of campaigning, his type of persuasion, his charisma. He was imbued with things that she is not. And I don’t mean that as a criticism. It’s just a point of comparison.”
He added that the vice president’s alternative path to the nomination has “fucked her” by creating “misgivings.”
“There is an underlying feeling that she didn’t get this the right way, she may not have won a primary,” Chris Cuomo said, echoing a Republican talking point. “She didn’t even make it to the first round of primaries when she did run. And that is both fair and unfair at the same time.”
Cuomo urged Democrats not to bury criticism of their candidate.
“This idea of, ‘Don’t say anything bad about her because Trump,’ I don’t buy that,” he said. “I don’t buy that, and it’s not how you get to a better place. It’s a relative assessment. She has negatives. So does he. Does he have more? Yeah. He also has a way more intense following. That’s why this race is so tight.”
“Unless you want to write off half this country as bigots, how do you explain it being so tight?” he continued. “Maybe you’re not as right about everything as you think you are. Maybe you should be a little bit more open to the people that you disagree with. Maybe they’re not all racists.”
Fast-forward to the 16:00 mark for Cuomo’s rant:
