From the Daily Caller: NewsNation anchor Chris Cuomo criticized Democratic Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy on Tuesday for blaming President Donald Trump for the deadly flash flooding in Central Texas.
Murphy claimed in a Saturday X post that “[t]here are consequences to Trump’s brainless attacks on public workers, like meteorologists.” Cuomo responded on “CUOMO” that Murphy’s post was “a cheap shot” and using deceased children to gain political advantage against Trump.
“Democratic Senator Chris Murphy — I’ve been trying to get him on the show. Now I don’t want him. ‘Accurate weather forecasting helps avoid fatal disasters.’ That’s what you say? ‘There are consequences’ to attacking meteorologists? You really believe that that’s what this was about?” Cuomo said. “You really think that’s what your constituents want? For you to take a cheap shot at dead kids to score points against Trump? Wow.”
“Guess what? The union for the National Weather Service [NWS] — and they’ve been critical of Trump’s cuts and I’m not saying there’s not reason for criticism — but it’s about perspective. The union says there was adequate staff at the time in Texas, and meteorologists are not faulting the National Weather Service,” he added. “They’re noting that they began to escalate the flood warnings as much as 12 hours in advance of the floods. So shut up, Murphy! We have to see that the interests of the many are being held hostage by the obsessions of the few on both sides. They are killing us.”

You politically profiting off of people in Texas losing their lives is disgusting.
Resign.

So what about last year when North Carolina was decimated? Was that Trumps fault too?
