Chris Cuomo breaks down why the outrage over Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth’s use of Signal is missing the point — and why Democrats are setting themselves up to lose again. From the Kilmar Abrego Garcia deportation case to Trump’s grip on media narratives, Cuomo argues that focusing on gotchas instead of principles like due process, 80/20 issues, and strategic messaging is a recipe for failure. He calls out media hypocrisy, explains why Hegseth likely isn’t going anywhere, and challenges both parties to stop chasing outrage and start delivering solutions.Follow and subscribe to The Chris Cuomo Project on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube for new episodes every Tuesday and Thursday: https://linktr.ee/cuomoprojectJoin Chris Ad-Free On Substack: http://thechriscuomoproject.substack.com Learn more about your ad choices.
