CNN anchor Chris Cuomo called out House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi on Wednesday for opposing school safety measures while working in a building with a secure entry point.

Cuomo asked why Pelosi can’t work on school security in addition to gun control legislation, and noted that CNN and Congress have secure entry points with armed guards.
“It seems that there’s an either/or,” Cuomo said. “Will you put armed guards in the schools? ‘No we don’t want to talk about it, let’s not talk about hardening the schools.”
“But the building we’re in right now, the building that you work in, the point of entry there is secure. You don’t walk in with a trench coat with a shotgun underneath your jacket and get in — it doesn’t happen,” he asserted to audience applause.
