CNN host Chris Cuomo on Thursday ripped top Republicans for not coming on the network in the wake of a mass shooting in Florida, claiming they didn't want to be asked about gun violence.

"What are they afraid of?" Cuomo said on CNN's "New Day." "The mistake we've been making is, we don't say by name the lawmakers of that particular state and what they have done or refused to do. So this morning, let's undo the mistake."

The CNN host criticized Florida Gov. Rick Scott (R) for "actively fighting to penalize" Florida doctors who ask patients whether they own firearms. He also went after GOP Sens. Marco Rubio (Fla.) and Ted Cruz (Texas) over their response to the shooting.

"Rubio calls it an inexplicable tragedy. It is the most easily explained tragedy you can have. He knows why this happens," Cuomo said. "Then you have Ted Cruz. None would come on this morning."

1. They're Worried Someone Might Ask Them About Their Blood Money

2. Wonder what CNN's ratings would be...

if they never had RWNJ's ( formerly known as "Republicans" ) come on any of their shows?

At least CNN has a Cuomo in that AM slot - MSNBC has "Joe and Mika."

A couple more ambushes and they'll be back at Mar-a-Lago before you can say "Re-elect..."!
