Chris Cuomo is the younger brother of Gov. Andrew Cuomo, D-N.Y. The damning audio featured the 'Cuomo Prime Time' host complaining that reporters have inquired about media outlets allegedly. Ex-CNN producer says Chris Cuomo's ‘conflict of interest’ on COVID goes beyond his brother Krakauer says Gov. Cuomo's little brother has been knocking Republican Gov.

CNN host Chris Cuomo said on Friday that police reform in the U.S. will not happen until “white people’s kids start getting killed.”
Cuomo made the remarks in the context of a couple of recent police shootings where suspects did not comply with law enforcement or attempted to run.
“And you know what the answer is. You really do. You don’t like it. I don’t like. It scares me. Shootings, gun laws, access to weapons? Oh, I know when they’ll change,” Cuomo said. “Your kids start getting killed. White people’s kids start getting killed. Smoking that doobie that’s actually legal, probably in your state now, but they don’t know what it was, and then the kid runs, and then ‘Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop!’ Cop was justified.”
“‘Why’d you run?’ ‘Oh, he had a baseball game tonight.’ ‘Oh? White kid? Oh, big family, that house over there?’ Those start piling up, ‘What is going on with these police? Oh, what? Maybe we shouldn’t even have police!’ That kind of mania, that kind of madness, that’ll be you. That’ll be the majority, because it’s your people,” Cuomo said. “See, now Black people start getting all guns, forming militias, protect themselves? ‘Can’t trust Deep State!’ Whoo-whoo! You’ll see a wave of change, in access and accountability. We saw it in the 60s. That’s when it changes, because that’s when it’s you.”
WATCH:
Chris Cuomo is one of the dumber TV partisans. Here he dramatically attempts to explain what it'll take for white people to back radical police reforms he likes: more white kids must be shot by police (though CNN often ignores stories they can't turn into stories about racism). pic.twitter.com/aoSs3c2vQy

TRANSCRIPT PROVIDED VIA CNN:
How many more die of the pandemic, dying from police shootings? George Floyd, Daunte Wright, I wonder if you’ll remember their names, six months from today, because there’ll be replaced by so many others.
You’re here people. What are you going to do when you see these shootings? You know what you’re going to do. “That George Floyd, did you hear about him? That Daunte Wright, did you hear about him? That 13-year-old Adam, you know he was a gangbanger.”
Why do that? Because you want to make the problem “Them,” takes the onus off the idea that you’re wrong about policing not needing to change. “Forget that. Police are trained to deal with non-compliance, with force that is not lethal. Hey, comply or die, you know what I mean.”
And you know what the answer is. You really do. You don’t like it. I don’t like. It scares me. Shootings, gun laws, access to weapons? Oh, I know when they’ll change. Your kids start getting killed. White people’s kids, start getting killed. Smoking that doobie that’s actually legal, probably in your state now, but they don’t know what it was, and then the kid runs, and then “Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop!” Cop was justified.
“Why’d you run?” “Oh, he had a baseball game tonight.” “Oh? White kid? Oh, big family, that house over there?” Those start piling up, “What is going on with these police? Oh, what? Maybe we shouldn’t even have police!” That kind of mania, that kind of madness, that’ll be you. That’ll be the majority, because it’s your people.
See, now Black people start getting all guns, forming militias, protect themselves? “Can’t trust Deep State!” Whoo-whoo! You’ll see a wave of change, in access and accountability. We saw it in the 60s. That’s when it changes, because that’s when it’s you.
My job is to show you in them because there but for the grace, and the grace is forgiveness that none of us deserve for the blessings that we’re wasting in this country. That is our reality. And the reality is clear, and the state of play is unchanging, and that is not a recipe for any type of longevity.
And what do we do here? What do I do here? I get lost in the next, the next name, the next iteration. The “New,” in news, dominates, because you get bored. “I’ve heard enough. I’ve heard enough. I cared about George Floyd. It was wrong. But I’ve had it with the trial, it’s too long. Just let me know when they have a verdict.”
We pretend that we’re not just seeing the same lying, and lack of leading, and bleeding, and death, and pain, new names, new faces, new places. Same problems, you know it, I know it. I know that you know.
The testing, the voting, the vaccines, the dying, the shooting, the drugs, the suicide, the teaching, the testing of education, all of it, it all hits the poor, and the poor of color worst, and we know it. And we’ve always known it.
I remember my father preaching about this, when my teeth were two inches apart, when I was a fat kid, waiting to eat, on the steps of my house, while he was talking to people that he was asking to vote for him, in one of the elections that he lost like five, six in a row.
“Us and Them!” “Us and Them!” There’s never a solution that doesn’t begin with “We.” “We the people,” they started it. Every copy you see of the document blows those letters up. Why? Because that’s all we have is the interconnectedness and the interdependence. If you give up on one another, that’s it.
And it doesn’t matter how impressive, or resonant, or you feel the words to be, because all you have is prayer. All you have is hope that at some point something, make some iteration, a generation of us, realize that the only solution is not less, but more, more people, more enabled, to do more with talent, to make more pie for all of us. That is the only way that this country ever approaches what she is supposed to be. And the only question for us is what will it take to get there?

His recent tweet criticising the former mayor of Colorado City for his response to the winter storm has backfired.CNN anchor Chris Cuomo's criticism of a former Texas mayor on Twitter asking him to 'resign or apologize' has led to a number of people on the social media network redirecting the tweet towards his scandal-hit brother.
Tim Boyd resigned on Tuesday as the mayor of Colorado City, Texas following a social media post in which he accused residents of being 'lazy' for expecting government help in response to the winter storm that has left many dead.
Cuomo responded to a news article about Boyd's resignation on Twitter with the comment 'Resign or apologize and learn and become a better leader?'
Resign or apologize and learn and become a better leader? https://t.co/9RYMUYA1Ri
— Christopher C. Cuomo (@ChrisCuomo) February 18, 2021Twitter users were quick to point out that the same sentiment could apply to his own brother, Andrew Cuomo. The Governor of New York is currently facing scandal after New York attorney general, Letitia James, last month found that more than 15,000 nursing patients had died of COVID-19—much higher than the original 8,500 figure provided by the state.
The irony of Chris Cuomo's tweets was not lost on Twitter. Brad Polumbo, of the Foundation for Economic Education replied: 'Now do your brother.'
Now do your brother.
— Brad Polumbo 🇺🇸⚽️ 🏳️🌈 (@brad_polumbo) February 18, 2021'Was this meant for your brother?' asked one person.
'I don't disagree, but considering the trouble your brother is in right now, should you really be making a tweet like this?,' read another reply.

Author and former Marine Matthew Betley called Cuomo a 'freaking hypocrite', saying: 'You should both resign for what you've done to New York residents.'
You’re a freaking hypocrite. You should both resign for what you’ve done to NY residents.

With over 1,500 replies to the tweet, the responses were myriad, with Governor Cuomo tagged in a number of tweets.
Buzz Patterson, a 2020 Republican candidate for Congress in California, replied simply: 'Should we tell him?'
Should we tell him?
— Buzz Patterson (@BuzzPatterson) February 18, 2021The findings come as the Cuomo administration works to stop the scandal engulfing his Governorship. Last week details emerged of a private call in which a top aide admitted to Democratic lawmakers that his team 'froze' following a request from the Department of Justice for nursing home death toll figures.
The FBI and the U.S. Attorney in Brooklyn are investigating claims of falsified figures, while state Assembly Republicans on Thursday announced they would seek to impeach Cuomo and launched a commission to look into his action.
The scandal is being seen as a test of whether the Democrat systems in New York can hold one of their own to account.
CNN on Thursday said it had banned Cuomo from covering news of his brother.
Newsweek contacted Chris Cuomo and Tim Boyd for comment.
