Chris Cuomo says AOC ‘symbol of the demise of the Democratic Party,' urges Dems to move on
Chris Cuomo said on his podcast Tuesday that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., is a 'symbol of the demise' of the Democrats and urged the party to move on from her. Cuomo warned Democrats that backing candidates like Ocasio-Cortez — who prioritize the needs of 'the few over the many' — will ultimately lead to the party's downfall, calling attention given to her a 'huge f—–g mistake.'

'AOC is a major perpetrator and symbol of the demise of the Democratic Party by going too far down the road of favoring the few over the many,' he said. Ex-CNN anchor Chris Cuomo took to his podcast 'The Chris Cuomo Project' to address his concern about Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and how she is a threat to the Democratic Party. The Chris Cuomo Project Later on in the show, Cuomo continued his criticisms of Ocasio-Cortez, a democratic socialist, warning Democrats that spotlighting her is aiding the rise of dangerous ideologies into the mainstream.

I think it's a huge f—–g mistake,' he asserted. Cuomo reiterated that Democrats are 'once again valuing the few over the many,' and warned that the 'pickle' they are getting themselves into by supporting Ocasio-Cortez may bring backlash upon them like they've never seen before. 'If you [Democrats] think trans sports got you in a pickle, you're about to be in a whole bucket of brine,' he cautioned. His brother, former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, is currently challenging another democratic socialist, Zohran Mamdani, in the New York City mayoral race.

Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville seems to be on the same page as Chris Cuomo, calling out Democrats in April for allowing Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Bernie Sanders, D-Vt., to define the party. Cuomo said backing candidates such as Ocasio Cortez can lead to the collapse of the party citing how she is 'a major perpetrator and symbol of the demise of the Democratic Party.' Michael Nagle Carville emphasized the party's deep talent pool that they should be showcasing to help redefine its identity, rather than the ultra-progressive platform that representatives like Ocasio-Cortez promote. Advertisement 'There's truly depth and talent in the Democratic Party and the faster that we can get them on the field and people seeing them, and the sooner we can get people like Bernie Sanders and AOC not defining who the party is, the better off we're going to be,' Carville argued. Fox News Digital reached out to Ocasio-Cortez's office for comment.

'She's a mess': US President Donald slams Rosie O'Donnell during a live press conference as their long-running feud takes another ugly turn
Donald Trump has taken fresh aim at Rosie O'Donnell, calling her "a mess" and suggesting her move overseas was "a good thing" as their decades-long public feud continues to spiral. Speaking at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland on Sunday (local time), the 79-year-old US President responded to a reporter's question about O'Donnell's recent comments on The Chris Cuomo Project, where she opened up about her mental health struggles during Trump's presidency. "So Rosie O'Donnell, she went on Chris Cuomo and blamed you for the fact that she's overweight, depressed and drunk, what do you say to that?" the reporter asked. With a smirk, Trump replied: "I don't know about Rosie. I watch Rosie, she's a mess. She's a mess. But she's left our country, which is a good thing, not a bad thing." O'Donnell, who recently relocated to the seaside suburb of Howth in Dublin, Ireland, has long clashed with Trump- but the bitter back-and-forth has ramped up in recent weeks. In her June 25 interview, the 63-year-old comedian said Trump's first election win in 2016 left her in a dark place. "During his first go around, it was very difficult and I got myself into some bad places," she told Cuomo. "I was very, very, depressed. I was over-eating, I was over-drinking, I was so depressed, Chris. It hurt my heart that America believed the lies about him. And then it broke my heart to be in a business that creates and sells those lies for profit. It was very heavy to tell you the truth." Trump escalated things even further on Saturday, posting on Truth Social that he was "giving serious consideration" to revoking O'Donnell's US citizenship. "Because of the fact that Rosie O'Donnell is not in the best interests of our Great Country, I am giving serious consideration to taking away her Citizenship," he wrote. "She is a Threat to Humanity, and should remain in the wonderful Country of Ireland, if they want her. GOD BLESS AMERICA." The host of 'The View' fired back on social media, branding Trump "a dangerous old soulless man with dementia who lacks empathy compassion and basic humanity". "The president of the USA has always hated the fact that I see him for who he is- a criminal con man sexual abusing liar out to harm our nation to serve himself- this is why I moved to Ireland," she said. In another post, she mocked Trump for still being "rattled" by her nearly two decades on. "Hey Donald- you're rattled again? 18 years later and I still live rent-free in that collapsing brain of yours," she said. "You want to revoke my citizenship? go ahead and try, King Joffrey with a tangerine spray tan." O'Donnell also accused Trump of having links to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, claiming he was "on the list" of clients tied to Epstein's infamous private island. Interestingly, the pair were once on good terms, with O'Donnell even saying she attended Trump's 1993 wedding to Marla Maples. But their public breakdown began with a heated clash on The View in 2006, when O'Donnell took aim at Trump's morals and media influence. "He's the moral compass for 20-year-olds in America. Donald, sit and spin, my friend," she said at the time. Trump retaliated by telling People that O'Donnell lied about him and was "a woman out of control". "I'll most likely sue her for making those false statements- and it'll be fun. Rosie's a loser. A real loser," he said.

Rosie O'Donnell tells Chris Cuomo she was ‘very depressed' and ‘overdrinking' after first Trump win
Rosie O'Donnell told former CNN anchor Chris Cuomo that she was 'very depressed' and 'overdrinking' following President Donald Trump's first election victory in 2016 on 'The Chris Cuomo Project' podcast on Tuesday. O'Donnell revealed that she left the United States for Ireland out of a sense of 'self-preservation' after Trump's second election victory, considering the difficulties she experienced after his first win in 2016. 'During his first go-round, it was very difficult, and I got myself into some bad places. You know, I was very, very depressed. I was overeating. I was overdrinking … I was so depressed, Chris,' she told the former cable host. She also shared that it hurt her heart to know that Americans 'believed the lies' of Trump and, furthermore, that she worked in a business that 'sells those lies for profit.' Another reason O'Donnell listed for leaving the U.S. was to ensure that she could be a 'good parent' to her 12-year-old child. On 'The Chris Cuomo Project' podcast, Rosie O'Donnell told ex-CNN anchor Chris Cuomo that she blamed President Trump's victory on election night in 2016 led her to be 'very depressed' and 'overdrinking.' Getty Images 'Coming to Ireland was totally a way to take care of myself and my non-binary autistic child, who's going to need services and help and counseling and all the things that he's [Trump is] threatening to cut in his horrible plan of the big, beautiful bill,' she stated. Later in their discussion, Cuomo recalled telling O'Donnell after Trump's first victory that 'this is going to affect you a lot more than it's going to affect him,' and asked how moving to Ireland has impacted her life. She told Cuomo that she enjoys the fact that people in Ireland typically don't approach celebrities the way they do in America, and also noted that she feels safe considering there's no 'MAGA support' in the country. After President Trump won the 2024 presidential election, O'Donnell moved out of the United States and now resides in Ireland. Rosie O'Donnell/Instagram O'Donnell related an experience she had in Ireland where an older man bought her a pint of Guinness after she told him that she had left the U.S. because of Trump being elected. She contrasted this with a story from the U.S., where the entertainer and her child were allegedly mocked in a CVS store after Trump won the 2024 election. 'One cursed at us, and she's like, 'Why are they cursing at us?' And I'm like 'Honey you know the bad guy? They're all bad guys too,'' she detailed.

Chris Cuomo EXPLODES as viewer slaps him with stinging label
Former CNN anchor Chris Cuomo launched into a furious tirade at a viewer who accused him of suffering from 'Trump Derangement Syndrome.' Responding to comments on his YouTube show, The Chris Cuomo Project, the 54-year-old NewsNation host - who has previously discussed topics like aliens and UFOs - lashed out after one viewer wrote, 'Stick to aliens. Your TDS clouds your political vision.' 'You don't have any political vision, okay?' Cuomo fired back. 'You are the one suffering from myopia. Look that up.' Myopia, commonly known as nearsightedness, is a refractive error where distant objects appear blurry while close ones are clear. 'You are the one who can't get out of your own way. You have Trump Derangement Syndrome. I don't,' Cuomo continued. He then claimed to have predicted both of Donald Trump 's presidential wins. 'I called his first win. I called his second win,' he said. 'I don't necessarily like that he's what America is choosing, but I understand it.' Cuomo went on to insult the commenter directly: 'You don't, because you just see him as giving you this power that your lowly, stupid ass would never have otherwise. I think we can do better than that.' He added, 'I'm not running for office. I have to be fair. And I don't believe people like you should be judged the same way Trump is. There are a lot of people who are desperate for the right reasons - it's sad, it's unfortunate, and we should do better. 'I'm open to that. I am fair, despite the fact that I have to deal with assholes like you on a regular basis. If this were about my personal life, I might make different choices. But this is what I signed up for, so I will engage you.' Cuomo wrapped up by clarifying his views on extraterrestrial topics: 'And I don't give a shit about aliens. I don't believe in little green men. I don't believe in alien spacecraft.' The ex-CNN anchor's diatribe comes just weeks after he revealed that his bromance with his former co-star Don Lemon was just for show and that the pair now loathe one another. The now-fired duo regularly gushed about each other on-air as Cuomo handed over to Lemon, hosted The Handoff podcast and went on tour together. But, Cuomo has now said the friendship was never real - telling Patrick Bet-David's Home Team podcast their banter was actually the idea of former CNN boss Jeff Zucker, who had concerns about how Lemon would open his show. According to Cuomo, Zucker basically told him he had to 'stay over on Lemon's show to help mitigate whatever's going to come out of his mouth.' Cuomo has previously said that his relationship with Lemon fell apart when he was fired in 2021 over advising his brother, former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, as he went through a sexual harassment scandal. The journalist said Lemon did not have his back and never reached out to him after his CNN termination. Cuomo has now sniped that Lemon's stature at the network was boosted by his relationship with Zucker. 'Zucker's best friend is Don Lemon's best friend - who's his agent - so, they had a real bond,' Cuomo claimed. Cuomo, now an anchor on NewsNation, emphasized that there is no love lost when asked whether he would do another podcast with Lemon.

Trump says he'll meet with Bill Maher and Kid Rock: ‘It might be fun'
President Trump has low expectations for his upcoming dinner with talk show host and Trump critic Bill Maher, he said in a social media post on Monday, but he thinks the face-to-face confab could be 'fun.' 'I really didn't like the idea much, and don't like it much now, but thought it would be interesting,' the president wrote to his followers on Truth Social. 'It might be fun or, it might not, but you will be the first to know!' Trump acknowledged he and Maher often have been at odds and said he expects the comedian 'will publicly proclaim what a terrible guy I am,' after they break bread at the White House. 'Who knows, though, maybe I'll be proven wrong?' Trump wrote. The dinner was arranged by musician Kid Rock, a Trump supporter who will also join them for the meal. It's unclear when the sit-down will happen, but Trump said on Truth Social the invitation also has been extended to Ultimate Fighting Championship CEO and President Dana White, a longtime Trump ally. Trump described Maher as 'a man who has been unjustifiably critical of anything, or anyone, TRUMP.' Trump sued Maher in 2013 for $5 million after Maher made a crass joke about Trump's mother and an orangutan. The suit was later dropped. The comedian last week spoke of his plans for the dinner, comparing it to then-President Nixon's (R) historic trip to China in 1972 despite being an ardent opponent of communism. 'Look, it probably will accomplish very little, but you got to try, man, you got to try,' Maher told NewsNation host Chris Cuomo on Friday's episode of 'The Chris Cuomo Project' podcast.
