Kellyanne Conway Praises Chris Cuomo Segment That Rips Trump For Suggesting ‘Brown Menace’ at Border

White House advisor Kellyanne Conway commended CNN anchor Chris Cuomo — a frequent sparring partner — for his coverage of the crisis at America’s southern border on Tuesday.

Cuomo aired his Monday night show from Hidalgo, TX, on the Rio Grande River, and covered the “systemic failure” to address the migrants crossing the border between the U.S. and Mexico.

“This migrant situation is called a crisis, but you know what? That word is overused and it doesn’t do the situation justice,” Cuomo said, before criticizing “shameful inaction” for the humanitarian problems at the border.

“The main threat here is not the people,” Cuomo said in his segment. “Yes there are bad guys in the mix, all varieties. But the brown menace that the president depicts is a gross exaggeration. Well over half the crossers are kids and the people who love them.”

“The real monster here is the system,” the CNN host said. “And everyone involved is begging for help. The question is, where is it?”

Cuomo then interviewed Deputy Chief Border Patrol Agent Raul Ortiz, who described the situation as a humanitarian and security crisis, which is in turn driven by a policy crisis.

“Kudos, Christopher,” Conway replied to Cuomo’s segment on Twitter, urging her followers to watch the CNN segment:

Kudos, Christopher.

There may be no collusion, but there IS a CRISIS at the border

You saw it firsthand

Called it what it is

Not “manufactured”

Caravans don’t “vanish”

Congress, fix these loopholes.
