Cuomo Calls House GOP 'Deep State,' Claims They 'Ignored Their Oath' by Voting Against Impeachment

Throughout his closing argument Monday, CNN host Chris Cuomo made a series of ridiculous statements. He spent the first part of the monologue declaring victory over the IG report, proclaiming: "No more hoax. No more witch hunt." Cuomo also accused President Trump and Attorney General Bill Barr of "trashing our government without cause." After arguing that "the Deep State, they spied on us riff from Trump and co, the toxic hoax hype...should be dead," Cuomo declared that "Trump and co are actually now acting like the deep state that they defined wrongly." He went on to trash Barr by claiming that "his goal is to put stink on his agency, undermine the institution openly in an obvious political fashion just to advance a political preference." The CNN host also wondered why Congressional Republicans could not be more like Democrats in the Clinton era; mentioning that 31 House Democrats voted to initiate impeachment proceedings against the 41st President and five voted to impeach him: "This President has his whole party in Congress ignoring their oath and arguing his side; not once but twice. Clinton had them go bad on him twice. He's had them go bad on their oath twice." Cuomo proceeded to define Congressional Republicans as "the Deep State," which he defined as "people put in place to affect their own political agenda." Apparently, he forgot that members of Congress were elected by the American people to enact their political agenda. The "Deep State" refers to unelected permanent bureaucrats.  Yet that did not stop Cuomo from proclaiming "our Attorney General Bill Barr and this cabal of former conservatives in Congress" epitomize the Deep State.
