In a column published by MSNBC on Tuesday evening, freelance political writer Laura Bassett joined the chorus of politicians and media figures calling on New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) to resign in the wake of the state attorney general’s report detailing his pattern of sexual misconduct.
But Bassett’s column offered a more dynamic take, as she argued that Cuomo’s younger brother, Chris Cuomo, should resign or be fired from his role as an anchor on CNN.
“His (Andrew Cuomo’s) brother, too, should resign from covering politics or be fired,” Bassett wrote. “It’s extremely inappropriate and unethical for a journalist to advise and craft the statements of a politician, regardless of family relation.”
