Monday on CNN’s “Cuomo Primetime,” host Chris Cuomo defended members of Antifa’s violent altercations with law enforcement and journalists over the weekend.

Cuomo said, “Two wrongs and what is right. It’s been one year since Heather Heyer was killed for standing up to hate, and our thoughts still go to her family. We know what happened with racial tensions nationwide after that. And this weekend was built as round two, ‘Unite the Right,’ the sequel. Organizers planned to organize in Washington, D.C. this time. But the turn out of white supremacists was thankfully pathetic, which is why I didn’t have to cover it. Only a couple dozen showed up. Proof they lost membership? No. They’re still in force online, but they didn’t have the guts to show up, and that’s good. Counter protesters did. There were good numbers of them. The vast majority were peaceful, but peppered in the crowd were members of anti-fascist. They covered their faces, confronted police and berated journalists and that was wrong.”
