Former CNN host Chris Cuomo argued Monday that both Democrats and Republicans used the border crisis for political gain as the media glossed over the issue. He claimed that the failure to make the ongoing emergency a major story only exacerbated the problem.
“You heard all the politics about how there was going to be an invasion and now there’s literally almost no one here, and for you, the absence of people should be more frightening than seeing the big groups because when you see big groups, that means you know where migrants are,” Cuomo said, claiming that the lack of crowds indicated that illegal immigrants had already been transported to various parts of the country.

“The media made a big mistake taking a pass on this because we don’t have the spectacle of massive crowds, okay? The absence should be more frightening because we need to know the answer of where they are, and it really is an indication of how broken this system is,” Cuomo continued.
He proceeded to condemn both major political parties and President Joe Biden for failing to address and act on the issue. Cuomo intimated that the people who had responsibility and power to handle the situation repeatedly chose not to for political gains.
“Right and Left are wholly unreasonable on this issue. The Right couldn’t wait for the hordes to come through, and then when they did and we have our president laughing, ‘Ha ha ha. It’s not as bad as you expected.’ Really? With record numbers being processed and released into America,” Cuomo continued.
“It’s no laughing matter, but if it is a joke, the joke is on us, because the people in power are allowing this to continue.”
To gain more understanding of the situation at hand, Cuomo spoke with journalist Jorge Ventura.
