About 35 minutes into his two-hour SiriusXM show, Chris Cuomo went on a rant in which he blamed his brother’s disgraceful exit on vast conspiracy spanning both sides of the political spectrum and the news media, saying that “the game has rules.”
“And one of the general principles is you can fight against the other party, and you can fight against the media, but only if you have your party,” he said.
“Andrew had his party enforcing a rule…that if you have accusations, you have problems. And you don’t really get to vet the accusations and you don’t get to go against your accusers.”
