After Ann Dorn, widow of retired St. Louis police captain David Dorn who was killed in a violent looting in June, spoke at the RNC on Thursday night, Chris “Fredo” Cuomo seemingly thought it was appropriate to pit members of the family against each other.
According to Fox News:
CNN’s Chris Cuomo aired a clip of Ann Dorn’s speech and then immediately declared that “David’s daughters… they say their father would not have wanted this speech to happen” and they believe the former St. Louis police officer wouldn’t want his name used to help reelect President Trump.
Cuomo then welcomed two of Dorn’s daughters to join CNN and bash his widow’s RNC speech (Ann Dorn is not the mother of Dorn’s adult children who joined CNN).
Needless to say, had Dorn’s widow spoke at the DNC to his daughters’ opposition, CNN would not be covering this as a story.
Media Research Center analyst Nicholas Fondacaro slammed Cuomo as “despicable” for dividing the grieving family.
“@ChrisCuomo is so despicable that he has no problem with pitting different sides of a grieving family against each other. This is another instance of @CNN attacking Ann Dorn, the widow of Capt. David Dorn who was murdered by a leftist mob,” Fondacaro tweeted.

Fox continues by saying that other CNN anchors attacked Dorn’s widow as well, saying that “the true victim is not around to decide if he should be mentioned during a political speech.”
Despicable: In CNN's 2nd disruption of night four of the #RNC2020, Jake Tapper and Abby Phillip attack Capt. David Dorn's widow. Phillip says having the families of victims of violence is a problem because the deceased can't say how they feel about it. pic.twitter.com/DBAtpJzLfC

It’s a tragic reality that the Leftist media will exploit other peoples’ pain just to further their own political ends. We cannot let them win.
