Chris Cuomo Slams Trump over Latest 'Fraud' Claims with the Perfect 'Princess Bride' Quote

Chris Cuomo Slams Trump over Latest 'Fraud' Claims with the Perfect 'Princess Bride' Quote
CNN // CNN

President Donald Trump remains steadfast in his refusal to acknowledge defeat in the 2020 election despite President-elect Joe Biden expected to earn 306 electoral votes—well above the 270 minimum to take the White House.

But even through Trump's most bizarre or bumbling attempts to undo the votes of millions of Americans, most of the Republican party has stood by him. On Tuesday, news broke that congressional leadership on the Joint Committee for Inaugural Activities failed to pass a simple resolution acknowledging Biden's victory, thanks to "no" votes from its Republican members.


Meanwhile, the Arizona Republican Party was calling for Trump's supporters to die for the fight to overturn the election results.

That same day, at a White House event, Trump called on Republican legislatures and conservative Supreme Court Justices to have the "courage" to subvert the will of the people.

Trump said:

"Let's see whether or not somebody has the courage — whether it's legislatures or a justice of the Supreme Court or a number of justices of the Supreme Court — let's see if they have the courage to do what everybody in this country knows is right. If somebody has the courage, I know who the next administration will be."

Hours later, in the Tuesday night broadcast of his show, CNN's Chris Cuomo delivered a nine minute takedown of Trump's denial and the Republican party's complacency.

He alluded to the classic 1987 film The Princess Bride and a line delivered by the dashing swordsman Inigo Montoya, played by Mandy Patinkin.

Cuomo said:

"To paraphrase Inigo Montoya, a character from one of the greatest movies ever, The Princess Bride: 'Courage. You keep on using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

Watch the full segment below.

 

Twitter users got a kick out of Cuomo's allusion to the widely adored movie.

Regardless of Trump's protests, President-elect Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris will be inaugurated on January 20th.

Conservatives Predictably Outraged After Mattel Introduces New Barbie With Type 1 Diabetes

Conservatives lashed out at toymaker Mattel after the company introduced a new Barbie doll with Type 1 diabetes, including an insulin pump and blood sugar tracker—an action they say is "woke" while not understanding the difference between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes.

Mattel revealed a new partnership with Breakthrough T1D— formerly known as the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation—to launch a Barbie doll that authentically represents people living with Type 1 diabetes. The collaboration, Mattel said, ensures the doll “truly captures the community,” including accessories that “accurately reflect the medical equipment” commonly used by individuals with the condition.

MAGA Influencer Charlie Kirk Called Out After Blaming DEI For High Death Toll In Texas Flooding Disaster

Turning Point USA founder and MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk was harshly criticized after he claimed the death toll in the flash floods that have devastated central Texas "would not have been as high if it wasn't for DEI," ridiculously suggesting that principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion were responsible.

Kirk's comments are reflective of President Donald Trump’s broader push to dismantle federal programs focused on diversity and inclusion—part of what he pledged in his inaugural address would be a campaign to stop attempts to “socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of public and private life.”
