Ted Cruz mocks CNN over naked Chris Cuomo in wife’s yoga video

Sen. Ted Cuz (R-Texas) poked CNN over transparency on Monday after a video emerged that appeared to show CNN anchor Chris Cuomo naked in his backyard while his wife was filming a live yoga session online.

The video was quickly deleted, but not before a screenshot that included Cuomo without clothing standing in his Hamptons backyard was shared and quickly went viral.

Cruz responded Monday evening by joking “it’s about time” the cable news network “embraced transparency” in a tweet to his 3.7 million followers.

CNN has not commented on the video, nor has Cuomo, the network’s top-rated anchor.

Cruz once appeared more often than many Republican lawmakers on CNN, including on three network town hall debates with Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) in 2017. The Texas senator has only appeared sparingly since that time and is often critical of the network’s political coverage.

I RT’ed a former LA Times reporter who had tweeted pics that mistakenly ran on the ABC local news broadcast. When I found out the story was erroneous, I deleted the tweet. Gosh, Brian, why does your tweet omit the MSM error that started it? Or does CNN only exist to attack GOP? https://t.co/ehvPHPMrGh
