Youre burning a lot of calories: CNNs Cuomo mocks GOP lawmaker avoiding Trumps pig blood commentsTOM BOGGIONI
18 AUG 2017 AT 08:48 ET
Republican Congressman Lee Zeldin (NY) gave a profoundly uncomfortable interview with CNNs Chris Cuomo on Friday morning, refusing to issue much in the way of a condemnation of President Donald Trumps comments the suggested Islamic terrorists should be lined up and shot with bullets dipped in pigs blood.
The Republican lawmaker, who Cuomo repeatedly noted is Jewish, seemed pained to have to answer questions about Trumps pig blood tweet and defense of white nationalists, ended up being on the receiving end of Cuomos snarky comment that he was burning a lot of calories with his evasions.
Noting that Trumps tweet about the apocryphal pig blood bullet story has been widely debunked, Cuomo put Zeldin on the spot, challenging him to defend the president.
What I want to ask you, as someone who knows well what works and doesnt work in the war against terror, what do you make of the idea of the president of the United States asking people to study the idea of dipping bullets in blood and killing people in bunches to send a message to other terrorists? Cuomo asked.

(8,203 posts)they are doing behind the scenes...they sure do have a POS with just enough digits to hold a pen..distraction is their mantra..all smoke screen ..but then I know I am preaching to the choir...
Once the republiklans have completed the gutting of our govt. hurting the most people with their aynryanrand BS - austerity - then they will impeach - set up pence and ryan and take us further down the rabbit hole..with privatization of anything they touch..they will be able to say.."He did it, the POS did it" - like the chicken little cowards that they are..
My question, so why do we pay taxes, again? For this?
