Chris Cuomo condemned President Trump’s response to an incident that occurred between some of his supporters and a Biden campaign bus. As the bus traveled from San Antonio to Austin on Friday, a caravan of trucks with Trump flags surrounded the bus on the interstate, forced it to slow down, and according to an eye witness, tried to run the bus off the road. In response, Trump tweeted a video of the incident with the caption, “I LOVE TEXAS!” Upon learning the incident is being investigated by the FBI, Trump posted a tweet calling those involved patriots, and saying they did nothing wrong. Trump also joked at a rally that they were simply “protecting the bus.” Cuomo called Trump’s reaction “bulls***” and said that had this happened the other way around and Joe Biden supported people from his side harassing a Trump campaign bus on an interstate, Biden would not enjoy the same silence from Democrats that Trump has from Republicans.

Video Transcript

CHRIS CUOMO: You saw what happened in Texas with the Biden bus. I don't know why the president chooses to make light of something like that. I don't know why he has never taken an occasion to tell people to be better than they were in a moment.

KYLIE MAR: On "Cuomo Prime Time" Sunday, Chris Cuomo condemned President Trump for his reaction to a group of his supporters harassing a Biden campaign bus on an interstate in Texas, Friday, an incident that is now being investigated by the FBI. On Saturday, Trump tweeted a video of the incident with the caption, I love Texas. And on Sunday, Trump posted a tweet calling those involved, patriots, and saying, they did nothing wrong. Trump also joked at a rally on Sunday that they were protecting the bus.

CHRIS CUOMO: Jennifer, the day that you guys learn to criticize your own the way Scott just back loaded the part about telling Trump that he shouldn't have talk that bull [BLEEP] that he talked about this situation, you guys would be a much more cohesive group of political players.

KYLIE MAR: While CNN conservative pundit Scott Jennings also condemned Trump's reaction, the Republican establishment has been largely silent. Meanwhile, Cuomo doesn't believe Joe Biden would enjoy the same from Democrats if this was the other way around.

CHRIS CUOMO: If that were a Trump bus and Joe Biden had joked about a bunch of Biden people messing with the bus, you guys would eat him for lunch even two days before an election. He would be getting condemned from all over the place in the Democratic party.
