FYI here are my receipts on Chris Cuomo calling Jan 6th an insurrection back in 2021 which he told me tonight on air he ‘never’ said. I told him I had checked his Twitter 🤷🏽‍♂️👇🏽

Today marks 10 years I’ve been a journalist. Back then, I was fresh out of college interning at ABC News’ “Nightline” program. So grateful not only for the opportunities I’ve had these past ten years but for all the amazing people I’ve considered both my colleagues and friends.
