Chris Cuomo has responded to his indefinite suspension from CNN.
Cuomo was suspended after the network found out that he was heavily involved in defending his brother, former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, against sexual misconduct allegations.
"It was a unique situation being a brother to a politician in a scandal and being part of the media," @ChrisCuomo says. "I tried to do the right thing, and I just want you-all to know that." pic.twitter.com/oSWnxNImwG

“Quick note, the obvious,” he said on his Sirius XM show.
“I’ve been suspended from CNN. You know this already. It hurts to even say it, it’s embarrassing, but I understand it and I understand why some people feel the way they do about what I did. I’ve apologized in the past and I mean it. It’s the last thing I ever wanted to do, was compromise any of my colleagues and do anything but help. I know they have a process that they think is important. I respect that process, so I’m not gonna talk about this anymore than that. So for right now, let’s just get after it, and there’s plenty to do on that score.”
