Cuomo scrambles to deny Politico took $8.2 million in tax dollars to cover for Biden.

NEW: Chris Cuomo scrambles to deny Politico took $8.2 million in tax dollars to cover for Biden.

This is a pathetic attempt at damage control.

O’REILLY: “I didn’t know that the Biden administration paid Politico, a so-called journalistic outfit, $8 million to cover up for Biden. That’s what they did. They wouldn’t run the Hunter Biden laptop.”

CUOMO: “We don’t know that that’s what it was. That’s not the story.”

O’REILLY: “No, no. Their own employees of Politico said the reporters on the story would not run it.”

CUOMO: “We don’t know that that’s why they didn’t run the story.”

O’REILLY: “Okay, New York Times today. ‘Conspiracy about Politico.’ Then I knew the story was valid. As soon as you get the New York Times running interference for you, you know it’s true.”
