‘Mind Your Dogs!’ Chris Cuomo Rages at Democrats for Turning Blind Eye to ‘Evil’ Islamists
NewsNation anchor Chris Cuomo issued a stark warning to Democrats for “choosing to ignore” Islamist extremism within the U.S. while fixating on President Donald Trump as “evil,” pointedly asking the party to “mind your dogs.”
Cuomo delivered his comments one day after a young couple employed at the Israeli embassy was gunned down in Washington, D.C., in an attack that was motivated by the sole suspect’s pro-Palestinian ideology.
In the context of rising tensions around the war in Gaza and domestic political divisions, the host noted that the suspect “has been conditioned to identify with the oppression in Gaza as if he’s one of them.” He added that “there are so many like him here and in our families, on our campuses.”
“We know the shooter is a far-left activist,” he continued. “Caught on camera shouting ‘free Palestine,’ and as he was arrested, he kept chanting the slogan and said, ‘I did it for Gaza.'”
“So why the F are all these people on the left saying ‘if true’? And ‘if that’s who he is’ and ‘if he’s not an IDF plant’ and you don’t want any of the blame for what just happened on you?” he added.
After lambasting podcaster Joe Rogan and his “comic buddies” for “bashing Israel for sport,” Cuomo’s scathing broadside quickly turned into a charged denunciation of the Democrats in particular.
You can say it’s too much. Of course it is. You can say there should be more aid. Of course there should. But the nexus of all of it necessarily goes back to the terrorists who started it, who are still there, with the tacit, if not open, respect and support of many people in this country. We have no idea how deep this problem goes here at home.
Democrats, my brothers and sisters, I understand why you’re worried about Trump. I understand why you call him an ultimate evil, but I don’t agree. And if you want the ultimate evil, look at the Islamists, the extreme ones in America, not just Muslims, and mind your dogs who are doing their bidding.
Unpacking his point, he continued: “What am I talking about? Look online to the reaction. Americans calling the terrorist a hero again, saying he, like the healthcare CEO murderer [Luigi Mangione], was justified in violence. It’s the same thing I’ve heard in Iraq and Afghanistan, but now echoing from Indiana.”
“This is not a one-off. It’s just one more of what we choose to ignore,” he added, before citing the 2025 New Orleans truck attack by U.S.-born Islamist Shamsud-Din Jabbar.
Cuomo made clear he was not “demonizing an entire faith” but focused on extremists. He then slammed lawmakers for facilitating “Islamic residential development” in Texas and claimed the religious leader behind the project “openly defended” Hamas’s attack against Israel on Oct. 7. Cuomo returned again to profile pro-Palestine university protests he said was driven by the “Muslim Student Association,” which he said “was founded by members of the Muslim Brotherhood.”
