On Friday's broadcast of CNN's "Cuomo Primetime," host Chris Cuomo reacted to the Kyle Rittenhouse verdict by criticizing Wisconsin law and Rittenhouse's judgment while also arguing that "The jury is not the bad guy. Race is not the bad guy. Politics is not the bad guy." Cuomo also asked, "have you heard anybody ask why the third person he shot, the man with the gun who was chasing him and pointed it at him and came at him, why he escaped all police scrutiny? None of the people who were angry about this verdict see anything curious about that situation." Additionally, Cuomo pointed out that none of the people who Rittenhouse shot were shot because they were protesting, they were shot because they were chasing Rittenhouse.
