CNN host Chris Cuomo used Obama-era statistics on the economy and race late last week to hammer President Donald Trump on "systemic racism."
The segment from Cuomo came after President Trump's economic advisor Larry Kudlow said that he does not believe systemic racism exists in the United States.

According to Cuomo however, systemic racism is a "fact" and is "everywhere" in the United States and proceeded to use statistics from the Obama-era to prove his point.

Pollster Frank Luntz unloaded on Cuomo on Twitter, saying: “Tonight, @ChrisCuomo criticized Trump’s economy while using data that stops in 2016. This is complete incompetence. Journalistically and editorially.”

President Trump even took notice of Cuomo's segment and responded to Luntz's tweet, writing, “Thank you Frank. Fredo’s ratings are really bad, more than 50% down. A loser!!!”

Cuomo has been embarrassing himself left and right over the past year. The CNN host's home life has been pretty public in recent months considering Cuomo contracted the coronavirus and was forced to film his shows from the basement of his home.
The CNN host originally claimed that he was locked in his basement for the duration of his illness however this seemed to be a total lie.
The claim by Cuomo that he hadn't left his basement came into question when a neighbor had an altercation with Cuomo outside of his house while he still had the coronavirus.
“Over Easter weekend, Cuomo was reportedly involved in a heated altercation that took place at his East Hampton property after a bicyclist claimed that the CNN anchor was violating quarantine guidelines that were being enforced by his brother, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo,” Fox News reported. “A 65-year-old East Hampton resident named David was riding his bike on Easter Sunday when he spotted who he thought was the CNN anchor with two women and three children outside on their property. Cuomo had been recovering from his widely publicized coronavirus diagnosis.”

This completely debunked his claim that he hadn't left his basement.
“This is a proven lie. As usual, CNN doesn’t care about the facts (or most of you)," said NewsBusters editor Curtis Houck.

Political commentator Stephen Miller also called him out: “This is a performative lie. There is a police report and witnesses. Any comment on this one @mdornic or do you think your audience is somehow as full of s*** as your on air anchors? Like holy s***, this isn’t a news network. Between this and Stelter turning a bedtime cry into a 4 day personal news cycle. What the f*** is going on over there? @mdornic”
