‘King of the self-own’: TV host Chris (Fredo) Cuomo mocked after attempt to disprove Trump’s phone theory with call to mom fails

Chris Cuomo has nothing on Fredo. With each passing day it becomes more apparent that CNN is a joke. It is shocking that Jeff Zucker is able to keep his job, as he destroys the credibility of the once proud news network.

‘King of the self-own’: TV host mocked after attempt to disprove Trump’s phone theory with call to mom fails

News.com, November 22, 2019:

CNN host Chris Cuomo was mocked on Thursday after his attempt to disprove US President Donald’s Trump’s theory about how phones work backfired on live television.

David Holmes, the political counsel at the US Embassy in Ukraine, testified during Thursday’s impeachment hearing that he overheard a would-be damming phone call between Mr Trump and European Union Ambassador Gordon Sondland.

Mr Holmes said he “could hear the President’s voice through the earpiece of the phone”, which was not on speakerphone.

Mr Trump, in real-time, tweeted his scepticism.

“I have been watching people making phone calls my entire life,” Mr Trump tweeted.

“My hearing is, and has been, great. Never have I been watching a person making a call, which was not on speakerphone, and been able to hear or understand a conversation. I’ve even tried, but to no avail.”

He added, “Try it live!”

CNN’s Cuomo took the President up on the challenge and called his mother during coverage of the impeachment hearing.

“Let’s just play with that for a second. Mom can you hear me?” Cuomo asked, without receiving a response from his mother.

“I’m with Dana Bash … can you just say hello? Mom? She probably can’t hear me,” Cuomo said as he struggled to hear whether or not his mother could hear him.

Cuomo then put the device on speakerphone.

“Mom, can you hear me?” he asked again.

“I hear you, when you talk to me I hear you,” his mother responded.

The Cuomo Prime Time namesake then turned off speakerphone and could no longer hear his mother — just as Mr Trump explained is typically the case.

A frustrated Cuomo then hung up the phone, and critics quickly lampooned the moment.

“CNN’s Cuomo trying to prove you can hear a conversation on another person’s cell phone (while on speaker, mind you) is the most ill-advised thing we’ve witnessed on live TV since Marcia Clark had OJ try the gloves on,” The Hill media reporter Joe Concha wrote.

What a fool. Any normal person with even minimal brains would have tried that first to make sure it worked as he thought it would.

These people are so sure of themselves and their beliefs that they never expect to fail. After all, they are opposed to Trump so they are perfect

Fredo must’ve figured since Trump says you can’t hear, the opposite must be true.

Need an army to sort out the mess, as the left has always had trillions of dollars to use against us. I usually use this site for school indoctrination as often updated. Really need a person for each main topic to try and keep on top of whats happening. Even got one for Trump.

NOW WHAT IS THE CONCLUSION ???

The only logical conclusion is that Pelosi and Schiff and their allies are the TRUE HEROS !
Only and exclusively by their actions the DEEP STATE is going to be discovered dismanteled, dissected, and destroyed.
Think about that – how heroic their actions are and what they have to go through – compared to them Macchiavelli and the Medici are choirboys and choirgirls.

HATS OFF & KUDOS !

It was told to me by a judge, that a good lawyer tries not to ask a question he does not already know the answer. You would think, you know, that he did his homework.

Its better to keep one’s mouth shut than to demonstrate that you really have nothing to say. Someone, please, explain this to Fredo.

Cuomo is not a reporter, he is an actor with an overblown sense of self

Cuomo and most of the rest of the MSM are actors with an overblown sense of self. They get a fortune for looking good for the camera and being able to read a script. No matter which MSM station you turn to they are all reading the same script at the same time. Yet Democrats never figure this out. They think they are getting the hard truth.

First he says he hears the “N-word” whenever someone talks.
Now he says he can hear conversations 100% when they are not on speaker.

Is it the “roids” talking??
