Chris Cuomo leaves caller dumbfounded when he argues AGAINST using violence on ICE agents.

David from Texas, the caller, genuinely believed shooting ICE agents was justified—and he was left baffled when Chris wouldn’t say what he wanted.

DAVID: “Chris? The advice that you’re giving about not arming yourself if you’re confronted by ICE is advice that somebody would give that’s not threatened by being confronted by ICE. But what if ICE came to News Nation and started rounding everybody up?

“You’re brown. They decided to detain you and don’t give you an opportunity to explain that you’re a citizen and they want to take you, and you don’t know what’s going to happen if you go with them. Would your advice be the same as what you’re giving?”

CUOMO: “Don’t cut him off. One, you’re assuming a fact. ‘You don’t know what’s going to happen.’ You’re suggesting they may kill you, that they may do something bad to you. They are not a gang. They are operating under color of authority. So you’re suggesting to me that if an officer makes a wrongful arrest, that it is okay for you to be violent with them?

“That’s what you’re saying? I’m saying what advice would you give someone who thinks that they are under that type of threat? I’m saying that violence against an officer who is operating with color of authority is stupid and illegal.

“And suggesting it is stupid and reckless. And if that person has a boss and they’re in the media, they should be fired. That’s what I’m saying.”

This is an eye-opening 3-minute exchange. How many more people like David are out there?
