Cuomo: ‘Not a Trace of Irony’ on Gohmert’s Face When He Attacked Strzok on His Affair

‘A Republican made Trump’s case that the probe is a witch hunt by attacking Strzok as a philanderer’

EXCERPT:

CUOMO: "Now, we’re showing you the highlights, but I have to tell you this was unique, what we saw today, the level of disarray, the level of dysfunction on really all sides. A standout moment, though. A Republican made Trump’s case that the probe is a witch hunt by attacking Strzok as a philanderer. Not a trace of irony on his face. Listen to this."

GOHMERT: "I can’t help but wonder, when I see you looking there with a little smirk, how many times did you look so innocent into your wife’s eye and lie to her about —" 
CICILLINE: "Oh, Mr. Chairman!"
[clip ends]
CUOMO: Now, I just want to emphasize this. It was much more heat than light today. And literally, you just heard that Republican congressman from Texas, Gohmert, say, 'Believe Trump, not Strzok, because Strzok had an affair.' And he did it with a straight face, and he never, ever has said anything like this about the President no matter what the allegation. Put that in the hopper."
