CNN anchor Chris Cuomo joined the chorus of members of the mainstream media in spreading the narrative that Senator Ted Cruz, Texas, “abandoned” the family dog on his ill-timed vacation in Cancún, drawing more attention to the controversy the Republican legislator than for him the growing scandal of his brother’s own nursing home.
Cuomo, along with CNN, made an unprecedented effort to minimize and deflect the controversies surrounding New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, with the far-left network giving developments to the nursing home scandal with little or no time. exhibition – while giving “Cuomo O Prime Time” offers free rein to conduct friendly and comical interviews with the governor plagued by the scandal in the first months of the pandemic.
After criticizing Cruz on Thursday night for leaving the Lone Star State while thousands of his constituents continued to fight the effects of the deadly winter storm, the CNN anchor found a new way to overthrow the Republican senator.
Last Thursday, New York Magazine ran a story with the headline, “Ted Cruz abandons millions of frozen Texans and his poodle, snowflake”. In a viral tweet, the author of the story Michael Hardy shared a photograph of the Cruz family dog waiting at the front door of the house.

“I just passed Ted Cruz’s house in Houston. His lights are off, but a neighbor told me that the block recovered its energy last night. In addition, Ted seems to have left the family poodle behind,” tweeted Hardy.
While many of Cruz’s critics were quick to condemn him for “abandoning” the pet, they apparently did not read the magazine report, which noted that a self-identified “security guard” who answered the door on Hardy’s visit told the reporter that he was taking care of the dog.

Responding to another Twitter user who put the caption of the dog’s image, “Wow, Cruz’s poodle, Snowflake is all Texan. Abandoned in the dark,” Cuomo replied, “Really?”
Cuomo was far from the only one to divulge the false narrative that Cruz left the dog “alone” at home. Many of his own colleagues at CNN spread the fake headline.
“In case you think @tedcruz couldn’t be a more hateful human being, he left his poodle alone at home, freezing without electricity while they left for Cancún,” tweeted CNN commentator Ana Navarro.
CNN RESTARTS THAT THE ‘RULE’ PREVENTS CHRIS CUOMO FROM COVERING BROTHER As the domestic scandal grows
“Not only did Senator Ted Cruz and his family leave the #Texas people for a vacation in #Cancun during the winter crisis; they also abandoned their dog!” CNN analyst April Ryan exclaimed.
Cuomo’s animosity towards Cruz is no secret. The two exchanged barbs last September, during a controversial interview, after the main Republican invoked the controversy of the nursing home that plagued the anchor’s brother.
There has been growing criticism of CNN’s Cuomo for avoiding the nursing home scandal. Earlier this week, CNN said its anchor was barred from covering his relative and admitting that the network’s leaders suspended the “rule” in the early months of the pandemic for the presenter to conduct his friendly fraternal interviews. Chris Cuomo found time to attack Cruz repeatedly on his show Thursday night.

Governor Cuomo’s administration is reportedly under investigation by the FBI and the US Attorney’s Office in Brooklyn after critics accused authorities of covering up the true number of deaths in COVID nursing homes in the state. At the beginning of the pandemic, the governor ordered assisted health centers to accept COVID-positive patients in order to keep hospital beds free.
