Chris Cuomo Exposed For Having Begged Andrew Cuomo’s Top Aide to Help With the ‘Prep’ For His Defense From Allegations of Sexual Harassment

New text messages reveal a desperate brother trying to help out while things fell apart for former Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

CNN’s Chris Cuomo was exposed for having begged his brother’s top aide to help with the “prep for his defense from allegations of sexual harassment.

The messages begin on March 1, which is when we reported on a statement that he had made during his show that very same day:

As the sexual harassment allegations against New York Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo mount, various politicians are weighing in and now his brother, CNN host Chris Cuomo has as well.

In a bizarre statement at the beginning of his show tonight, Cuomo said, “Before we start tonight, let me say something that I’m sure is very obvious to you who watch my show and thank you for that.”

“You’re straight with me, I’ll be straight with you. Obviously, I’m aware of what’s going on with my brother and obviously, I cannot cover it because he is my brother,” Cuomo continued.

Cuomo explained, “Now, of course, CNN has to cover it, they have covered it extensively and they will continue to do so.”

“I have always cared very deeply about these issues, and profoundly so, I just wanted to tell you that. There is a lot of news going on that matters, also, so let’s get after that,” Cuomo added.

Of course, Chris Cuomo wasn’t being straight now, it appears, as he didn’t let his viewing audience know that he was desperately trying to get involved.

Josefa Velásquez reported:

“In a text exchange between @ChrisCuomo and top Andrew Cuomo aide Melissa DeRosa, the CNN host asks to ‘please let me help with the prep’ of his older brother’s sexual harassment defense and helps devise a PR strategy.”

“Chris Cuomo previously told viewers that he wasn’t an adviser to his older brother, he was there to ‘listen and offer my take.’ But new texts show he was advising and running interference for the former governor. ‘We are making mistakes we can’t afford.'”

“.@ChrisCuomo was giving updates to DeRosa about the state of @RonanFarrow’s story on a former Gov. Cuomo aide who accused him of sexual harassment, using his sources to relay information to the administration, text exchanges show.”
