GOP Rep Confronts Cuomo Over Capitol Attack Investigation CNN Bias

CNN’s Chris Cuomo clashed with Rep. Scott DesJarlais (R-TN) after the congressman accused him and his network of bias during a debate on the January 6 select committee investigation.

DesJarlais appeared Wednesday on Cuomo Prime Time, where he faced questions about the police officers who testified about the attacks they endured during the storming of the U.S. Capitol.

“When we talk about how we got there,” Cuomo said, “it didn’t help that people like you didn’t want to certify the results of the election without any proof of the same, right?
