Chris Cuomo slams Dems for turning Harris into 'Black female Jesus' despite not liking her 6 months ago

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Journalist Chris Cuomo called out Democrats for apparently refusing to criticize Vice President Kamala Harris since she became the party nominee, on the Tuesday, October 22 episode of his YouTube podcast, 'The Chris Cuomo Project.'

Harris got the top spot on the Democratic ladder after incumbent president Joe Biden suspended his reelection campaign in July amid increasing concerns over his mental acuity, and endorsed her in his place.

According to the former CNN and current NewsNation anchor, her supporters have since put her on a pedestal, even when many of them did not even like her earlier.

Chris Cuomo's 'Black female Jesus' jibe at Kamala Harris

Chris Cuomo went on an exciting rant in his podcast, where he claimed that Kamala Harris "is not a godsend" presidential nominee. He went on to compare her with former Democratic president Barack Obama, arguing that she came up short on multiple aspects of the latter.

"Kamala Harris is not a godsend, alright? You people didn’t even like her six months ago!" exclaimed Cuomo. "Now, all of a sudden, she’s Black female Jesus the way Obama was Black Jesus."

"And let me tell you something: he had a lot more going for him than Kamala Harris does — and not just as firsts go — but his type of campaigning, his type of persuasion his charisma. He was imbued with things that she is not. And I don’t mean that as a criticism. It’s just a point of comparison."

The journalist also suggested that how Harris became the Democratic nominee played a part in undermining her credibility.

"And her process f****d her also. There’s a convenience in it, but it f****d her also because there are a lot of misgivings about her. There is an underlying feeling that she didn’t get this the right way, she may not have won a primary. She didn’t even make it to the first round of primaries when she did run, and that is both fair and unfair at the same time," he said.

Running against former president and controversial business tycoon Donald Trump was not a good excuse for shielding Harris from all criticism, Cuomo further argued.

“I don’t buy that, and it’s not how you get to a better place," he said. "It’s a relative assessment. She has negatives. So does he. Does he have more? Yeah. He also has a way more intense following. That’s why this race is so tight. Now explain that to me. Unless you want to write off half this country as bigots, how do you explain it being so tight? Maybe you’re not as right about everything as you think you are. Maybe you should be a little bit more open to the people that you disagree with. Maybe they’re not all racists.”
