CNN hosts Chris Cuomo and Don Lemon had thrills up their legs Tuesday night after watching House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer duke it out with President Trump in the Oval Office. They were so in love with the two Democrats that the CNN duo gave them a relationship nickname: “Nanchuck”. Warning, their gushing might cause you to up-chuck.
“Nanchuck” made its first appearance early in the first half of Cuomo Prime Time when Cuomo suggested that Pelosi and Schumer stepped into the Thunder Dome with Trump and won:
Two sides enter but only one can leave, with a win anyway. Now, the President on one side, the President of the United States, the master of message and in-your-face fictions and on the other, his new foe, the “Nanchuck”! I like it because it sounds like, you know, the martial arts. Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, they were wearing smiles and a bunch of new power. They were ready to give the man some of his own medicine.
As Cuomo was handing it off to Lemon at the top of CNN Tonight, the giddy pair praised their “Nanchuck” creation. “You came up with it. In fairness, my name was not good,” Cuomo said. “I had ‘Pelumer’, and ‘Schelosi’. And you were like, ‘ugh’. Nanchuck is great because it’s like what Bruce Lee would do with those things what happened in that room.”
After Lemon explained how he was watching the argument while he was sick at home, he claimed he was being “objective” when he exclaimed: “Oh, my gosh, Nancy Pelosi is a boss!” “I mean she handled herself amazingly,” he continued. “A lot of people don’t like Nancy Pelosi. I’m sure Democrats are going all across the country tonight, ‘thank God for Nancy Pelosi!’”- READ MORE
