Megyn Kelly slammed Chris Cuomo as CNN’s “chief nurse” assisting the network’s “suicide during the Trump era,” after the two traded barbs on Twitter.
“The chief nurse assisting CNN’s suicide during the Trump era [is] now lecturing on how to cover news,” Kelly told Page Six on Wednesday.
The statement comes after an actor named George Hahn made fun of Kelly by posting a video of himself dramatically reading her tweets regarding how Trump supporters feel after being “unfairly attacked” for four years.
Cuomo retweeted the video.
Really, Megyn? https://t.co/If9nDZep9v pic.twitter.com/IsxXFRbNwX

Kelly responded to the video: “Omg @ChrisCuomo! I totally thought this was you doing more terrible acting like when you had COVID (while your brother was killing off 6k seniors) &, after exposing half ur neighborhood while not wearing your mask, did your fake emergence from the basement! But this guy is better.”

“For those confused, Chris Cuomo retweeted that little acting tweet — wanted me to see it — and thankfully I did!” Kelly said, providing context.
“This is perfect. In an attempt to support my claim that Biden’s pronouncement of ‘unity’ & ‘healing’ was not realistic, that we are too divided, this actor (shock: he hates Republicans) decides to mock the reasons Rs aren’t feeling so chummy. Thanks for making my point!”

Cuomo was diagnosed with the coronavirus in March and publicly spoke about his battle with the virus. He was slammed, however, over a video showing his “official” release from his basement after he was already spotted in public.
