Chris Cuomo: ‘Serial Liar’ Trump Can’t Blame Iran Attack on Obama, Congress Must Put ‘Country Before Party’

‘Do we really want to repeat this process and hope the enemy misses again?’

EXCERPT:

CUOMO: “President's a serial liar. He spent his entire Presidency bashing the very Intel agencies he now says are great and we must trust without proof. He won't even follow the rules that he demanded when convenient. 'Show proof. Forget about confidential, forget about classified, put it out there, it matters.' But not now. He kept warning - we kept warning that these self-serving attacks of his on truth and the institutions would come back to bite him, and now it has. And he's got a lot of people in Congress, and the country, not behind what he did, not for good reason, but because they don't have any reason, but they have good reason not to trust him, and why he did it. So, that's the problem. How do we fix it? I argue Congress has to put country before Party, at least when it comes to what may get us killed. Stop defending the President for lying and deceiving. If you can't say that you would say what he said, then say it's wrong. And stop saying we live in a post-fact society. No, we don't. Facts are facts. There have always been facts. Thank God, there will always be facts. Now, what you do with them is a separate question. Lastly, let the past few days be a reminder. My brothers and sisters, we are all in this together. You know you felt it last night, our troops are in harm's way, Left, Right or reasonable. If something happens here, God forbid, in the aftermath of all this, and you better believe it's likely, whoever gets hit will bleed, no matter their politics. We are all susceptible to terror. And we are all capable of disagreeing without hating the opposition. We have real enemies. They're just not members of the opposing party. We were reminded of that last night. You know you felt it. Please, don't forget it.”
