Chris Cuomo: Presumption of innocence didn't apply to Kavanaugh because it wasn't a court case
By Megan Keller - 10/10/18 10:13 AM EDT

CNN anchor Chris Cuomo said Wednesday that presumption of innocence did not apply to Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh because the allegations against him were not reviewed in a courtroom.

"Now look, I don't know who wrote it, but the presumption of innocence is a valued, valued construct in a court of law," said Cuomo, a vocal critic of the Trump administration. "We were not in a court of law. This was a kangaroo court."

"This was politicians fighting over a position on the Supreme Court," he added.

Cuomo's remarks echoed comments made by some Democratic senators, such as Sen. Mazie Hirono (Hawaii) and Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (N.Y.) during Kavanaugh's confirmation fight.

 It became a DeFacto court case the minute Kavanaugh was accused of a crime.

Or as dems call it--a basic Republican job interview.

What a load of codswallop.    Cuomo is just another stinking, liberal hypocrite.
If some liberal prospective SC candidate was in the same position as Kavanaugh, Cuomo would be arguing that he or she is innocent until proven guilty.

If it wasn't a court case then why do Dems want to impeach Kavanaugh for perjury?
The libs/dems of today are the Quislings of former years. The cowards who would vote a fraud into office in exchange for handouts from the devil.

Democrat talking point. Stupid canard. Sorry to be repetitive.

An accuser ALWAYS has the burden of proof irregardless of the setting. However the degree of
prove proof can be less then beyond a reasonable doubt to say prepoundness of evidence or even
probable cause.

CNN still batting 1000%, always wrong.

  • Ah, the air is so much fresher here...
So why then should I give Ford, Rodriguez, and Swetnick the presumption of belief, since we aren't operating under the usual rules?
The Republic is lost.

Exactly.  The Cuomo mouthpiece is just repeating what he has been told to say.

He is such a condescending ass.  Somebody should ask him whether Bill Clinton should be presumed guilty.
