In the weeks leading up to the 2024 presidential election, it was clear that President Donald Trump had significant momentum. Not only did his policies resonate with millions of Americans, but multiple attempts on his life contributed to the goodwill he received from many other voters.
For their part, many Democrats seemed to recognize that these attempted assassinations could make it even harder for Kamala Harris to win, leading to a concerted effort to downplay the seriousness of the situation.
As The Hill reported:
“What I found completely appalling and outrageous was how unimpressed lefties were by Trump getting shot in the head,” Cuomo said in a video posted to his YouTube channel.
The former CNN anchor wasn’t the only one who made note of the left’s reaction to the incident that almost killed Trump and left one of his supporters dead.The journalist said the group minimized the July assassination attempt by saying the former president “nicked his ear” instead of being shot in the head.
“You get nicked in the ear by a bullet and tell me that it’s no big deal. I’m good. I’m good. Nah, nah, that’s crazy,” he told viewers.
Trump was also the target of a second assassination attempt in September. Cuomo previously criticized the media’s response to the incident, which occurred on a golf course in Florida.
On Tuesday, Cuomo said Democrats’ response to the July incident on the campaign trail shows how out of touch Harris and her supporters are with the American people.
There was a deadly attack on former President Donald Trump, but the American left media tried to hide even such big news.
This is Times Square, but you will not see the news of the attack on Trump anywhere.

It’s only been a month since Trump was shot, and the Dems refuse to acknowledge it even happened.
Let’s say the inverse happened, and it was Kamala who got shot… We would NEVER hear the end of it.
They would be foaming at the mouth 24/7. The streets would be in flames.

Cuomo went on to acknowledge that the left’s reaction to the attempted assassination influenced his own response to the election results, as the Daily Caller reported:Did you notice?

Here’s the full clip of Cuomo’s recent remarks:“You are out of touch. You lost the plot about how people feel in the majority. That’s what you did, and that was a perfect example of it, that situation. ‘Oh, I think it was just a teleprompter.’ You would have never assessed it that way if you didn’t wish the guy had died,” he continued. “How fucked up up is that? That you wished he had died? That you play down that he was shot at? It was disgusting. And I, for one, felt a measure of satisfaction that you were punished for it politically because there is no place for that. ‘Oh, he would have.’ He is not the standard of any kind of virtue, okay? And he still beat you.”
MSNBC pundits Michael Steele, Ari Melber and Joy Reid all cast doubt about what struck Trump and the severity of the injury in the days following the assassination attempt.
Though the incident resulted in one rally attendee’s death and two injuries, a third of President Joe Biden’s supporters indicated they were open to believing the conspiracy theory that the assassination attempt was staged and not intended to kill Trump was credible, according to a July Morning Consult poll. Former volunteer fire chief Corey Comperatore was killed during the assassination attempt and two rally attendees, 57-year-old David Dutch and 74-year-old James Copenhaver were injured.
