Chris Cuomo, CNN News anchor and brother of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo , was criticized on Twitter this weekend after he joked that he's "black on the inside" while talking to journalist and CNN colleague Don Lemon. The comment came after he was singing the theme song to Good Times , a television show popular in the 1970s about a black family living in Chicago. Laughing, Lemon asked Chris Cuomo how he knew the words to the song, to which Christ Cuomo responded, "You know, I'm black on the inside."

close Video Biden rescinds Trump's ban on funding for overseas abortions Former NFL player Ben Watson expresses disappointment with the reverse of anti-abortion policy and previews his address to the March for Life on 'Fox & Friends.' Ambassador Wendy Sherman, who served as President Obama's under secretary of state for political affairs from 2011 to 2015, is not qualified to serve as our next deputy secretary of state . Sherman's appearance before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee last Wednesday made this abundantly clear. In her confirmation hearings, the ambassador dodged substantive questions on her role in failed foreign policies, including the disastrous Iran nuclear deal that she helped negotiate. This alone should be disqualifying, but for anyone familiar with her past work, there is another enormous reason for concern: Sherman’s radical position on abortion . JAMES CARAFANO: BIDEN VS. IRAN – CAN PRESIDENT AVOID … [Read more...] about Sen. Marco Rubio: Biden nominee Wendy Sherman for deputy secretary of state? No way. Here’s why
