This is why Cruz does well, he's great at pointing out the hypocrisy. It's nearly impossible to counter hypocrisy when it's right in the open.
His point about Biden doing a eulogy for Byrd and the death rate of NY compared to Texas where Cuomo himself is caught in his own logic that there was a "learning curve" in NY. What the hell did they all expect Trump to do? The fact some are using it politically should be called out more forcefully by Trump.
Trump just needs to say in a debate, "are you going to blame Cuomo for New York?" We provided them all they needed, we were on calls everyday, not one person who needed a ventalator didn't have one. Not only were we all working our hardest but the W.H.O and our own experts were on the learning curve too. The disinformation from W.H.O and China didn't help anyone. This is an entirely new threat."
Ted Cruz, Chris Cuomo get into slugfest after senator rips Gov. Cuomo's COVID response
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and CNN's Chris Cuomo faced off in a fiery clash on Wednesday night that further escalated when the Republican took a swipe at the anchor's Democratic brother, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
The conversation began with Cuomo pressing Cruz on whether President Trump went "soft" on the far-right group the Proud Boys during Tuesday night's debate. The senator responded by saying he wished Trump was "much clearer" with his denunciation and appreciated the president's sharper condemnation the next day. Cruz quickly called out the press for being "hypocritical" for not condemning Joe Biden's 2010 eulogy for former senator and klansman Robert Byrd.
"You're really gonna go with that?" Cuomo reacted. "I know you're a master debater... you're gonna go with that weak-ass argument here? Byrd, who had a complete enlightenment about how hate was wrong, who changed his life, who spoke about it, who changed his ways?"
"Chris, have you ever eulogized a klansman? I haven't," Cruz shot back.
