Chris Cuomo Blasts Norah O'Donnell for Reading Suspect's Manifesto to Donald Trump: 'She Liked the Idea of a Free Shot!'

Chris Cuomo criticized CBS News anchor Norah O'Donnell for her decision to present excerpts from Cole Tomas Allen's manifesto, the suspected White House Correspondents' Dinner shooter, during her April 26 interview with President Donald Trump on 60 Minutes. Cuomo deemed the action "poor form," accusing CBS of treating the "deranged rantings" of an allegedly homicidal individual as "verbatim fact" in an effort to target Trump. On his podcast, Cuomo claimed O'Donnell and CBS used the manifesto as a "free shot" at Trump, suggesting it was a calculated move to gain "shine" from critics rather than an instance of objective journalism. During the interview, O'Donnell asked Trump about charged statements from Allen’s manifesto, where the shooter claimed, "I am no longer willing to permit a p-------, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes."Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
