WATCH: GOP candidate dodges CNN's Chris Cuomo question over whether he is fine winning solely because he's white

The Republican congressional committee released a video ad smearing Harvard Graduate and Democratic candidate Antonio Delgado because of his past rap career.

Rep. John Faso (R-NY) dogged Cuomo's question if he would be okay with people in the district voting for him solely because they don't want to vote for Delgado who is black.

"Are you worried that you win because you bring out voters that don't like that this black guy who is a rapper is running for office?" Cuomo asked.

"I categorically reject that notion," Faso responded.

"Hold on a second. you can't reject a notion, Congressman — that's what the ad portrays," Cuomo said.

"I'm just asking you are you okay winning that way?" Cuomo asked again. "Because Trump is, and I just want to know if you are."

"I'm working hard. I'm talking to voters about my record—passing an opioid bill. Helping farmers in our Upstate district. Working hard for veterans. That's what I'm talking about," he said. "Mr.Delgado has no record in this district and it's highly presumptuous and arrogant of him to drop into our district last year and say I should be your Congressman."
