Sometimes it’s hard to tell if mainstream media shills actually believe the lies they spew, but former CNN host Chris Cuomo may have just revealed that he’s either a total sucker or a liar of the highest order.

In an interview with Turning Point USA spokesman Andrew Kolvet, Cuomo argued that the well-documented invasion of the U.S. Southern border by hundreds of thousands of mostly military-age males during the Biden regime was an exaggeration created for politics.

Cuomo went so far as to call the invasion a “boogeyman” concocted by Republicans.

Western Lensman shared the clip on X, saying, “Cuomo is either willfully dishonest, hopelessly naive, or incredibly dense. Maybe some combination of all three.”

Chris Cuomo actually argues to @AndrewKolvet that the next Dem president won’t open the border floodgates again.

Says Republicans created a “boogeyman” about what Biden did.

I’m not making that up.

Kolvet rightly questions Cuomo’s sanity: “You’re crazy if you don’t think… pic.twitter.com/XrKhVzjYpl

X users blasted Cuomo for his take:

This is the same Cuomo who once lectured the country about truth and accountability from a CNN desk right up until the family crisis management side hustle caught up with him. Now he’s out here gaslighting border numbers like it’s 2021 all over again.

For fifty years, they said it was impossible to close the border. The Trump administration closed it on day one of his second term.

The ENTIRE Biden administration they lied the border was “closed” as tight as possible and “impossible” to close tighter absent billions more spending.

The next Democrat will do precisely the same.

How does he say that with straight face. Conservatives made up the numbers!?!? How is it a created boogeyman when describing the lefts actions?

Definitely willfully dishonest. I refuse to believe he’s naive or dumb. Just a garden variety liar with an audience.
