CNN contributor Jeffrey Toobin recently made his debut back on the network several months after accidentally masturbating on a Zoom call with colleagues at the New Yorker. Nevertheless, CNN host Chris Cuomo has also fallen into a handful of his own scandals, so it could be difficult to determine who is actually the most embarrassing.

The Chris Cuomos Interviews Brother On CNN During The Pandemic:

Chris Cuomo came under fire when he started interviewing his brother, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, early on in the coronavirus pandemic. When Chris Cuomo first joined CNN, he vowed not to interview his brother, but things changed as the pandemic progressed.

During one of those much-mocked interviews, Chris Cuomo held up a giant cotton swab to mock his brother. At the same time, the governor was embroiled in a scandal where he ordered nursing homes to take in COVID patients despite the elderly being more susceptible to the virus. The Daily Caller News Foundation also revealed that the Cuomo administration had undercounted nursing home deaths in order to make his pandemic response look better.

Chris Cuomo Gave Advice To His Brother On Dealing With Scandals:

Cuomo again faced scrutiny after advising his brother about sexual harassment allegations against him. The CNN host reportedly participated in calls with the governor’s top staffers in which he urged Andrew Cuomo to stand strong in the face of the allegations and not to resign from his position, according to the Washington Post. Chris Cuomo later apologized for his actions and called them a “mistake.” (RELATED: Women’s Group Demands CNN Suspend Chris Cuomo, Investigate How He Advised His Brother On #METOO Allegations)

Jeffrey Toobin’s Rubbed His Colleagues The Wrong Way: 

Then again – Jeffrey Toobin did masturbate in front of his colleagues.

Chris Cuomo Reportedly Coached Michael Cohen

In 2018, Cuomo repotedly coached former Trump attorney Michael Cohen for an interview and told him how to answer questions for a TV appearance, according to leaked audio obtained by Fox News show Tucker Carlson Tonight. Cuomo reportedly told Cohen how to answer questions regarding hush-money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels and former Playboy model Karen McDougal.

The audio also showed Cuomo reportedly telling Cohen how to answer questions about an LLC he allegedly used to pay women and suggesting that the former Trump attorney attack the media.

“I’m going to make some phone calls on that and make sure that you can’t get fucked,” Cuomo told him.

Despite the lengthy preparations, Cohen never appeared on Cuomo’s CNN show, according to Fox News.

Cuomo Got Priority Testing

During the early days of the pandemic when there was a shortage of coronavirus tests, news broke that Andrew Cuomo had prioritized testing for his family – including his brother Chris. CNN spokesman Matt Dornic defended the CNN host getting priority testing.

“It is not surprising that in the earliest days of the once-in-a-century global pandemic, when Chris was showing symptoms and was concerned about the possible spread, he turned to anyone he could for advice and assistance, as any human being would,” Dornic said.

Jeffrey Toobin …

Jeffrey Toobin, however, … yanked his … well, you get the point.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
