CNN’s Cuomo Rips ‘Demagogue’ Trump for His ‘Bullhorn from the BS Bully Pulpit’ Threat on Reopening Churches

‘Trump has zero power to override governors on reopening houses of worship’

RUSH EXCERPT
CUOMO:  "I am Chris Cuomo, welcome to “Prime time.” We see a country struggling with any degree of commitment to fight what our leaders all call a war against this pandemic. Virus is making a resurgence and president instead of dealing with what he says is a war is intent to divide us in distraction of holy war, ordering churches open. Look, the law is clear. Trump has zero power to override governors on reopening houses of worship. No governor wants to keep churches or any place of worship closed. We have a governor tonight from his own party who strongly advised against filling places of prayer. So why did the president make the call to want this this way? What power does he have? What does he think this will do for the rest of us? More importantly, why aren’t we focusing on what he should be doing for the rest of us? Where is the testing? Where is the tracing? Where is the effort he puts into division about going to church about making a plan to fight this virus? We’re still waiting as we head into this holiday of remembrance of those who made the ultimate sacrifice, we have to ask ourselves — are we really fighting this war as best we can? Let’s get after it.”
