Dupree denies wrongdoing in Mississippi welfare scandal | CUOMO

Former NFL superstar quarterback Brett Favre made $140 million during his football career and is now accused in a lawsuit of misusing millions more intended for the poorest people in Mississippi in what's become one of the biggest public corruption scandals in the state's history. Also named in the lawsuit is former Mississippi high school running back Marcus Dupree, who went on to play at the University of Oklahoma, the USFL and the NFL. The suit claims he received $371,000 in the alleged scheme. In his first television interview since the lawsuit, Dupree denies the allegations and says the state “didn’t do their research.”

Marcus Dupree one of the best running backs that never was!

[@reidx512]

Oh wow, that was strong..... Did you ever play football? Win a Heisman? Play on Sunday? Marcus reached places you will probably never reach outside of ESPN, CBS Sports and KZbin...

[@BeeHatGuy]

​@@reidx512look up the 30 for 30 about him lmao

[@traciway5729]

The body language...

[@emepen9311]

Some people are so poor, all they have is money. And Brett Fraudster is one of them!

[@shabodog]

Attorney should’ve told him crossing your arms is a defensive posture. And he seems to have cause to be defensive.

[@alanbiggers426]

Whatever.. that don’t mean shit

[@robertglasper4845]

Let this conversation be about Brent Farve.Yes when do they have a conversation with him🧐

[@topgrain]

Not going to. Nothing is going to happen to any of them. And in a different form, and more clandestine, the corruption will continue.

[@randallmartin4757]

Hes the best high school runningback ever look at highlights..in college at OU he didnt play long like many but his impact was so great hes known as the best that never was. To me the only runningbacks at his level in his prime was Barry Sanders Adrian Peterson Bo Jackson and Herchal Walker. ❤❤❤

[@fareedezzedeen8017]

Cuomo looks younger after he left CNN

[@ItstheCarolinashow]

Glad to see Mr. cuomo back

[@TheCommentSmerf]

Marcus folding his arms. He’s lying.

[@JoeBrown]

Yeah okay expert

[@georgesouthwick7000]

Would anyone expect him to admit it?

[@Dibbin]

Watch who you get involved with in business. They just got busted.

[@ARTWV]

Yeah, throw the race card in there. If all else fails it’s because I’m black.

[@TheCommentSmerf]

Hey these days it’s usually the truth. Nobody is responsible for how uncomfortable it makes you feel. There will always be people that use this knowing it isn’t true. This is one of them. Shocked Herschel Walker isn’t using it… oh wait he is.

[@brandonlambert1523]

How in the hell did it go from bret to him? Seriously? They couldn't find ANYONE a tad more famous to take the heat off him. This dude literally has done charity work even before he left football and now to try and creep out from under the criticism they point in his direction. Don't be a siss ass and own up to your crimes. If they pulled emails and texts from bret why haven't we seen any evidence against dupree?

[@jessiethomas7660]

where is Brett farve interview

[@valp7280]

He chose not to do interviews

[@YoungDreezee]

Dupree man, how you get caught up in this nonsense

[@topgrain]

It appears Brett told him about a sweet money well he had tapped into, and all he needed to do was feign doing some kind of "good" for poor people.

[@youtubehandle-]

Scapegoat

[@joeadams1225]

Heya Chris.....nailed it !

[@qualifiedapplicantofphnumb4129]

HISTORY WILL SHOW MORE THAN THIS IN MISSISSIPPI 😲

[@tammymathews3407]

When the lady was investigating this, Mr Dupree didn't come up in her investigating so why are they bothering this man Brett is at the center of this investigation.

[@qualifiedapplicantofphnumb4129]

THAT IS NOT MARCUS DUPREE. !!!

[@JoeBrown]

Uh yes it is

[@gilhernandeziii4031]

If you're not guilty? Why show up with an attorney? I guess, to say don't answer the question 🤷?

[@michaelcampbell5849]

Chris is a very good Attorney.

[@garygary2118]

If your greedy you will be caught out

[@qualifiedapplicantofphnumb4129]

IT HAS BEEN YEARS BUT SEEMINGLY NOT

[@TomZart]

FAME -2022 ? Those who wish to be, not forgotten Just days after they're dead and gone. Must write such things worth remembering Or commit acts, worth passing on. We think highly of those who create Goodness and beauty around them. But those who squander their lives away Our predictions for them are grim. The fame of people should always be Estimated by the means they used. It’s human breath that promotes most fame Often unwholesome and abused. The perfume of good deeds projects fame Performed by those with great passion. Not by persons in corrupt temples Whose honesty, they must ration. By Tom Zart Most Published Poet On The Web

[@BPierce777]

That suit and tie fresh!

[@joefried6604]

Love that’s Marcus is love and kicking and looking good

[@MrArron1357]

[@euj0]

Its "Anchor" what a low IQ post buddy

[@mikeyyoon]

Marcus is definitely involved and lying… you have to pay your attorney to be on an interview and the attorney spews garbage, please

[@relentless319]

I can’t believe I have to look at Chris Cuomo again. 🤮

[@VoteForBukele]
