CHRIS CUOMO (CO-HOST): Here are the Republicans who have called out the president by name. And by name matters. And calling this what it is matters. So you see them there, [Sen.] John McCain [(R-AZ)] started it going with [Sen.] Marco Rubio [(R-FL)], Sen. [Lindsey] Graham [(R-SC)] came out yesterday about this. But the bigger number are those who are remaining silent. We contacted all 52 Republican GOP people, invited them on the show to get statements --

POPPY HARLOW (CO-HOST): Senators, all of them.

CUOMO: Yes. Nothing. They didn't want to do it.
