Cuomo and Friedman: ‘For America to Live,’ the GOP ‘Has to Die’

News & Politics

In November, CNN host Chris Cuomo openly threatened the lives of Republican lawmakers when he warned that “they are going to lose way more than this election.” He even admitted to “targeting” them. And on Monday’s edition of Prime Time, Cuomo continued down that dangerous road by commiserating with New York Times columnist and communist China sympathizer Tom Friedman about how “for America to live, this party has to die.

After plugging Friedman’s book, Cuomo decried how people on the right would call them out for pushing violence. “Of course, just using the word ‘die’ will have the whole righty fringe throwing you under the bus as the real person asking for violence,” he whined.

Cuomo then went off on Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) (who he described as an illness earlier in the show) for saying that the proper venue to hold former President Trump accountable was in an actual court of law (Click “expand”):

CUOMO: Two have-you-evers and what do they mean? The first have-you-ever, have you ever seen somebody make a political move the way McConnell did in voting to acquit and then following it up with the exact rationale as for why he should have convicted?

FRIEDMAN: Well, Chris, I think everyone has pretty well covered the fact that the hypocrisy of Mitch McConnell was as big as all outdoors.

CUOMO: With no shame, Tom. That’s what I’m saying. No shame. No shame.

From the very beginning, we’ve had a President without shame, backed by a party without spine, amplified by [a] network without integrity. That’s been the problem,” Friedman proclaimed in response to his host.

Tapping into his affinity for China’s disgusting system of government, Friedman called for what essentially would lead to a one-party system in the United States: to fracture off enough Republican voters to keep the “Rump Party” from getting elected to national offices.

What I’m really focused on right now, and what is the important question is: will this party split in a way that 10 to 15 percent are hived off so the Trump Rump Party is unable to win a national election, to retake the House, to retake the Senate, let alone retake the presidency,” he mused to Cuomo. “That’s what I think is the most important question before the country. Because this party has proven it is not a governing party.”

Of course, Friedman threw out the tired smear that the Republican Party was a cult and claimed the GOP had no platform at their 2020 convention:

It’s not a governing party in two ways. One, it puts its leader, its cult leader, ahead of the constitution. And second, going back to the campaign, it had a convention in which it had no platform. It had no platform. You have to stop and think about that. Trump, all he talked about was how much he wanted to get back into power but he never really said why.

“And you really have to ask, is this a party of health care plans or conspiracy theories, of Jewish space lasers or a space program, of tearing down the Capitol or building up infrastructure,” Friedman rhetorically asked.

That last line betrayed how ridiculous and unserious Friedman really was. He suggested Republicans weren’t the party of a space program, but it was President Obama that ended manned launches in the United States and it was President Trump who brought them back.

Friedman continued to rant about it was the “most important thing for the country right now is that this version of the Republican Party, led by Donald Trump not be able to get back in power again until the party transforms itself.” He added: “It cannot be allowed back in power again.”

This demand to kill off the Republican Party was made possible because of lucrative sponsorships from Coventry Direct and Simplisafe. Their contact information is linked so you can tell them about the dangerous content they’re funding.

CNN’s Cuomo Prime Time
February 15, 2021
9:39:42 p.m. Eastern

CHRIS CUOMO: My next guest says for America to live, this party has to die. Let’s bring in New York Times columnist Tom Friedman, author of bestseller From Beirut to Jerusalem. Of course, just using the word “die” will have the whole righty fringe throwing you under the bus as the real person asking for violence.

Two have-you-evers and what do they mean? The first have-you-ever, have you ever seen somebody make a political move the way McConnell did in voting to acquit and then following it up with the exact rationale as for why he should have convicted?

TOM FRIEDMAN: Well, Chris, I think everyone has pretty well covered the fact that the hypocrisy of Mitch McConnell was as big as all outdoors.

CUOMO: With no shame, Tom. That’s what I’m saying. No shame. No shame.

FRIEDMAN: Yeah. I think that this — from the very beginning we’ve had a president without shame, backed by a party without spine, amplified by network without integrity. That’s been the problem.

What I’m really focused on right now, and what is the important question is: will this party split in a way that 10 to 15 percent are hived off so the Trump Rump Party is unable to win a national election, to retake the House, to retake the Senate, let alone retake the presidency. That’s what I think is the most important question before the country. Because this party has proven it is not a governing party.

It’s not a governing party in two ways. One, it puts its leader, it’s cult leader, ahead of the constitution. And second, going back to the campaign, it had a convention in which it had no platform. It had no platform. You have to stop and think about that. Trump, all he talked about was how much he wanted to get back into power but he never really said why.

And you really have to ask, is this a party of health care plans or conspiracy theories, of Jewish space lasers or a space program, of tearing down the Capitol or building up infrastructure?

And so, I think the most important thing for the country right now is that this version of the Republican Party, led by Donald Trump not be able to get back in power again until the party transforms itself. It’s in that sense that I think this party, as it’s presently constituted, has to turn into something else. It cannot be allowed back in power again.

(…)

FRIEDMAN: I think the most important thing right now, given where they are, Chris, is that Joe Biden succeed. He succeed in his stimulus program. He succeed in getting the vaccine out. He succeed in getting teachers vaccinated. One of your guests earlier in the night on CNN talked about that. And reviving the economy.

If Joe Biden can just keep doing what he’s doing. Wake up every day, go to the office, do his job, move this thing down the road, we’re going to be okay as a country. This thing will eventually burn itself out. But the problem with the party right now, and you see it in that letter — you know, Princess Di famously said there are three people in my marriage. And in the case of the Republican party, there are three people. There’s Trump, there’s the base, and there’s the information ecosystem led by Fox. And people are now trapped in that closed-loop. And in that closed-loop, you’re going to get those kinds of letters. The only way you break that is when the party is out of power for a long time and if Biden succeeds.

    1. Elitism and sheer arrogance! Make notes if their sponsors. Do not support them. Exercise you freedom of choice while you still can!

    2. For America to live, all liberals must die or be convinced that conservatism is the only way to live.The division caused by the liberals must not be allowed to exist, but those who insist on dividing our Country must be re-educated by force. This is the only way to force foreign influences out of OUR Country. The proposed FEMA camps can finally be used for the re-education of liberal America. If this irritates you, I DO apologise!

  1. “From the very beginning, we’ve had a President without shame, backed by a party without spine, amplified by [a] network without integrity.”

    This is more of a prediction of the next four years than it is a comment on the last four. And the network without integrity is CNN.

  2. For the US to survive, CNN, and the other MSM need to be removed from the airways. They are a poison to the minds of snowflakes, and normal people everywhere.

  3. There again that chomo guy calling for violence and death to other people, so when is he going to get taken off the air for that? The answer nothing will happen to him because he is a member of satans party, he is a demon 😈 a DEMONcrat. They keep saying how they uphold the CONSTITUTION yet with the same breath they brag how they are going to take our rights from us. The DEMONcrats are the anti CONSTITUTIONAL party, don’t believe it just listen to the things they say really listen, their minions have all but stripped our right to free speech from us so we cannot post unless it is what they say we can, they attacked our right to frligious freedom unless it is what they say, and now the party ofvsatan is going after our right to bear arms. The demon 😈 party is going to destroy everything about this nation because they have only hate for it.

    1. Mystic,
      Turn your auto correction off on your kindle. Then u will spell clearer. AND, I agree with U completely! Off with their political thoughts!

    2. THATS CALLED COMMUNISM! That is the only way the Democraps can stay in power, just like Biden mentor
      Communists CHINA , CHINA bought a America, Biden is a donkey ass ! Just wait China will start move here taking businesses, gov. Agencies. We will be fighting them to get them out !

  4. These people are communists and do not support their oath of office in upholding constitutional laws and Bill of Rights. People REALLY NEED TO WAKE UP and if they don’t, they WILL LOSE their freedoms of 1st Amendment rights and 2nd Amendment rights. The government they speak of is one that wants to CONTROL EVERYONE’S LIVES. The government is supposed to be for the people not the other way around as they speak of it. REMOVE ALL THESE A HOLES FROM POWER POSITIONS and restore our government the way it was supposed to be according to our Bill of Rights of LIFE, LIBERTY AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS. If we don’t we will have NONE.

    1. This is what happened in Cuba , I was in the 8 grade , Russia gave them money built international airport for Cuba . Russia wanted to be a thorn in America ‘s side! They started moving rockets and building rocket silos all over Cuba . Moved anti aircraft guns for protection all over Cuba ! This is known as the Cuban Crises, during President Kennedy time. USA protested this action, we would fly U2 air craft taking pictures of Russia involvement! Cuba could do nothing about it ! Russia had ships bringing other weapons to Cuba ! Which is only about 100 + miles from Florida. In school we had air raid drills every day . All this happened is a short time period . After months of Russia and USA TALKS, Russia determined to stay, President Kennedy put a Navy war ships blockade out in ocean if Russia crossed a parallel line war would start our rockets would fire on Cuba. Russia ships would be sunk ! They need to turn around and Russia must start pulling out of Cuba immediately or WWIII will start ! They turned around at the last minute , our ships had all gun pointed-ready to fire! Russia pulled out of Cuba , rockets, guns , soldiers. Then ten or more years they tried todo it again with Grenada in the Caribbean! The USA came to Grenada’s aid again but this was mostly Cuba with Russia backing them. Again failure for Cuba and Russia !

      1. Just look at Venezuela! The USA is following them today! They where a democratic government and then became socialist and then communists. Why all the shit heads get away with this ? The economy was at its greatest , after communism its a poor country now !

      2. I remember that well, it put short range nukes in range of continental US. We used to have the duck & cover drills in school as well in case of Nuclear attack. Of course that led to, if I remember the code correct, DOD directive 404. In case of Nuclear attack get on floor or under desk, put your head between your knees, and kiss your butt goodbye!
        My school was near a SAC base so could watch and hear the B52’s heading out. You knew when one was under full load (with nuc’s) as they used JATO assist for take off.

  5. And the Democratic party is considered to be a domestic terrorist organization right up there with the BLM, Antifa and the SPLC.

  6. “We can’t handle being told we’re wrong so we need to destroy everything that says we’re wrong.”

    Classic Liberal drivel.

    They refuse to accept the fact they might be wrong. I’m not so arrogant to believe I’m a flawless human being who is right about everything. I know I’m not!

    They however can’t stomach the idea that just like me, they’re flawed human beings.

    1. Kent – your last phrase captures the entire essence of their ‘thought’ – and they cannot deal with that fact nor that there is indeed a path of redemption.

    1. John – I’ll add a bit – I don’t own anybody (well except the creditor for my new HVAC system) or anyone anything – ESPECIALLY a bunch of entitled snowflakes.

  7. Just Consider the Source! The Brothers Cuomo are a Disgrace as is CNN and have No Place in America! What is going on in Our County, like the Cancel Culture, is an Abomination and must be Cancelled Permanently!

    What do you do when Your House is infested with Cockroaches?

    You call an Exterminator.

  8. The Elephant in the Room is the question about Cuomo and Friedman being “Domestic Terrorist’s” themselves suggesting that a political party and its members must face death to keep a leftist/Socialist/Democrat party in power. Are these kinds of reckless harangues inciting violence and calling for the killing of innocent citizens who happen to support a different political perspective?

  9. Pure evil. They will come after us all. Socialist only craves power and not for the people. The economy will collapse. People will not comply with HR 127 if it passes or other gun elimination legislation. If there is no enforcement or resistence against enforcement then we may have a chance. Things will only get worse with this adminastration. The left wants America to fail. Stock up – lean times are coming soon. More unemployment, More welfare, More Abortions, More Censorship, More fake news, More Hollywood Socialist propaganda, More riots, More innocent people being assaulted and murdered, More taxes, More regulations, More evil !!!

  10. CNN news is nothing but a Democratic paper that would not know how to tell the truth even if it happens rite in front of them

  11. If you want to live in slavery kill off the only party who manages to have any control whatsoever over. Communists. What idiocy.

  12. [‘For America to Live,’ the GOP ‘Has to Die!’]

    Which means: “For Socialism to Prevail,” Conservative Christians “Have to Die!”

    Democrats are proven to be Anti-Christian, while Republicans are proven to be Pro-Christian!

    Socialists & Communists are vehemently Anti-Christian, while Capitalists & Free Enterprisers are extreme Christians!

    President Trump is a great Christian and tremendous Patriot, while Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Nancy Pelosi, and Chuck Schumer are definitely neither!

  13. The news media should have to be honest and fair with there comments and not support either party ,but report honestly what is going on in this world, just because they don’t like a candidate this is a sort of brain wash of people in America that turns people against each other quit being corrupt and support our original constitution be a real American and start acting like one 🇱🇷

  14. Just more proof that the democrat party is guilty of everything they accuse others of, and they always state the opposite of what should happen in order for America to survive.
