A war of words between “cretin” Chris Cuomo and “mighty mouth” Megyn Kelly had the former attempting to reach the moral high ground by a low road.

Last week, President Donald Trump both fulfilled a campaign promise and took a major step toward restoring commonsense in America when he signed the executive order, “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports.” Amid Kelly’s “euphoric” reaction to the order, she harkened back to past mocking from Cuomo with language that he slammed as a, “Good use of the law degree.”
Taking greater umbrage with how Kelly responded about where her position was, Cuomo asserted that he had invited the SiriusXM host on his NewsNation program Friday for dialogue while lashing out at her colorful commentary.
“Megyn Kelly, the mighty mouth,” he began. “While supposedly setting an example of what is okay for her daughters to say and do, tells me to go bleep myself. That’s the way you want your daughters to see and hear things? I guess so.”
“And not just because it’s what Mama says to get paid, but it’s what passes for tough political speech these days. That’s passion. Go ‘f’ yourself,” continued Cuomo. “Good use of the law degree. The ugliest, antagonistic opposition possible.”
Following Trump’s signing of the order “to protect opportunities for women and girls to compete in safe and fair sports,” keeping men and boys out, Kelly had reacted on her program while referring to her own comments at the president’s pre-election rally in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
“That absolute cretin, Chris Cuomo, that mocked me for saying I need to be protected by Donald Trump — I do want Donald Trump to protect me with laws, for example, that enforce our immigration policies. And I do want him to protect my 13-year-old daughter, Chris Cuomo,” she remarked. “So, go f*ck yourself if you don’t understand that.”
Warning: Language

In November, Cuomo had reacted to Kelly’s speech where she’d asserted Trump would be “a protector of women, and it’s why I’m voting for him,” by mockingly stating, “I wanna be protected! I wanna be protected!”
Without mentioning his past remarks, the NewsNation host continued reacting to Kelly, “And the irony is we agree on the restriction. That’s how toxic it is. The desperation to play to advantage overwhelms everything. I get what Kelly’s about. And guess what? I invited her on the show tonight for the first time.”
“Of course, I knew she wasn’t going to come on,” he argued as he brought on Dr. Ilene Wong, a urologist, to talk about intersex individuals.
“Saying those things about me is different than saying them to me and I’m not punking her,” he’d added. “I invited her on because I’m sure she does care about her daughter, and who they play against, and their safety and their opportunities. So do I with our two kids, our two daughters. And I wanted her to learn what else is at play with these kids from this doctor.”
“Maybe she knows and she doesn’t care. Maybe she doesn’t. You know, I actually defended Kelly when she flamed out at NBC. I didn’t like how happy people were when she got let go. I disagreed with what happened there, but I didn’t think celebrating her failure was okay. And no, I don’t expect her to treat me the same way. That’s not what gets rewarded. That’s the point,” contended Cuomo. “I’d still rather have a conversation with her in front of all of you to let you see what the actual disagreement is about it and not about.”
Despite the pretty package that he’d attempted to deliver his rebuttal to Kelly in, reactions on social media couldn’t help but receive it as a “desperate” attempt to gain attention.
This horrible, disgusting piece of human garbage is absolutely desperate to become ANYTHING relevant again, but especially now in our new era of sanity, he will embarassingly fail.

Cuomo is a grifter, he’s trying anything to be relevant. He’s the worst
