Chris Cuomo couldn’t keep the condescension out of his voice while interviewing Kellyanne Conway Wednesday morning about the firing of James Comey.

“The idea that you think that this was about Russia and not about an FBI director who just yesterday forced his bureau to correct sworn testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee where he said Huma Abedin had this practice where she forwarded hundreds of thousands of emails,” Conway told Cuomo.

“So Trump was so upset that James Comey was unfair to Huma Abedin that he fired him?” Cuomo asked rhetorically.

“President Trump wants an FBI Director who is impartial,” Conway retorted.

Cuomo wasn’t convinced by this answer, asking “Why didn’t he do it in January?”

“Why is the timing up to you at CNN?” Conway shot back, before suggesting that CNN would run the same headlines regardless of when Trump had fired Comey.

“He’s not part of the swamp,” Conway said of Trump, leading Cuomo to repeat her words sneeringly.
