On Thursday, Dan Abrams, founder and owner of NewsNation and Mediaite, engaged in a friendly debate with one of his network’s hosts, former CNN anchor Chris Cuomo.

The dispute was over the latter’s remarks that appeared to be favorable towards former President Donald Trump.

According to Mediaite, what had occurred was that the article “Chris Cuomo Says He’d Consider Voting For Trump: ‘I Am Always Open’,” which reported on Cuomo’s words accurately, had not contacted him for comment before its publication.

Not only have I, but the first vote I ever cast was for a Republican.” Your point was that you’re open. Was it not? I mean, is that unfair?

Cuomo replied, “The point is that everybody should be open,” before claiming that Trump “made life very hard when he weaponized me and went after my family.”

The former CNN host then added:

Am I open? Yes, I’m open. I then followed it by saying—the part that you mysteriously missed—”If”Donald Trump is banking on me for re-election, he’s…
