The statement by Chris Cuomo, 'Blue check, the job is to engage. I go to shitty places all the time...this is no different,' is part of a broader conversation about the role of reporters and opinion makers, as well as the influence of public figures on political dynamics. The tone is somewhat dismissive and defensive, suggesting a justification for engaging on a platform perceived negatively by others. The intent seems to be to assert the importance of engagement in various spaces, regardless of their perceived quality.
