CNNs Cuomo countered that Democrats were bashing Trump instead of promoting Clintons policies.
Especially when it comes to this latest wrinkle, this gift that you guys say he gave you about asking Russians to hack Hillary Clintons emails to release them, the CNN host charged. You guys are calling it treason. He went on TV this morning and said, I was being sarcastic. This is the Democrats trying to frame me as a bad guy.'
We have to stop excusing him when he says these nasty things, Cummings interrupted. We really do. Because words do matter.
But is it treason? Cuomo pressed.
Ill let the FBI and others decide that, the Maryland Democrat remarked. My point is and by the way, no matter what it is, it should not have been said. If I did that, Id be out of office or in jail.

I watched that exchange and it does seem that the media has moved on from Trump's words.
