Chris Cuomo starts his show by declaring: "There's plenty to be upset about. It is too easy to kill in this society. " He then suggests "there are no questions here tonight that this outcome is problematic." Adding; "...too many other kids get in trouble for way less."

After raising the question about why Grosskreutz had his gun, Cuomo asserts: "I'm not happy. There's nothing to be happy about here. Today's verdict of not guilty doesn't mean the actions on August 25th were innocent." And attacked Wisconsin's self-defense law as too weak.

He followed up my mocking Rittenhouse's emotional reaction to hearing the not guilty verdict. And after attacking self-defense again, he argued that Rittenhouse defending himself from 3 attackers was "legally justified but still wrong."

Cuomo makes it very obvious he's on a crusade against the right to self-defense as he recently rails against the Wisconsin law calling it "recklessly forgiving." And telling his viewers to "step away from justice, of course, none it feels right. Because it was all wrong."

Calling Rittenhouse a "chump," Cuomo calls the law "a shooter's dream" because he finds it unacceptable that the jury needs to look at the situation from Rittenhouse's perspective. "And that kid on that stand painted the right picture for that jury," he lamented.

Repeating his line that it's "absolutely too easy to kill," he smeared the teen by saying "it came too easily to Kyle Rittenhouse." Further suggesting the teen was a cold-hearted killer, Cuomo declared he was there for a "bad reason" and was filled with "animus."

Speaking to Rittenhouse's defense attorney Mark Richards, Cuomo questions if Rittenhouse at 17 could have fought off the entire crowd. He then defends Rosenbaum by saying he's never killed anyone and that he was only going to "beat [Kyle] up."

Moments later, Richard tells off Cuomo for his ridiculous fear-mongering against the right to self-defense, "I don't think anybody with a brain is going to go out" and try to claim self-defense to get away with murder. He says Rittenhouse is lucky it was caught on video.

Itching for a defamation suit: @CNN's @ChrisCuomo smears Rittenhouse as out to kill and benefiting from self-defense law newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/nicho…
