CNNs Chris Cuomo said Thursday that calling a reporter a purveyor of fake news is the same as using a racial slur.
While hosting CNNs New Day, Cuomo read aloud a tweet from President Trump accusing Cuomo of failing to ask Sen. Richard Blumenthal about his military record, then proceeded to throw a fit.
Cuomo had in fact asked Blumenthal about his military record, and played the clip of the interview to prove it.
Blumenthal avoided answering Cuomos question. Instead, he talked about comments made by Trumps Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch.
Literally the first point that I made in the interview, Cuomo said. The president, with all due respect, is once again off on the facts. Thats not something that any of us have any desire to say on a regular basis, but it keeps being true.
Fake News is the worst thing that you could call a journalist, Cuomo said. Its like an ethnic disparagement. We all have these ugly words for people, and thats the one for journalists.
“So wassup Fake News?”
No Chris, it’s just like 1+1=2.
It’s an undeniable fact.
Take it as you will, Cuomo.
The Trumpster has really gotten under their skin.
He will make one of my fondest wishes come true: the extinction of the MSM as the gate keepers of the news.
Keep up the Fire!
Sorry 1+1=2 IS a racial slur now.
Chris Cuomo can go cry somewhere else. His brother is a gun grabbing socialist to the Left of Sanders and he has the same genes.
Cuomo is a Left wing activist, thus his reports are inherently fake.
What a goombah.
He really hates being called that. It gets him so angry that he might even stop making up stuff or only reporting half the story. Maybe.

Chris, it’s even more like nobody cares.
Again your rants are not fake news.
Dear Chris, Are you or are you not a Democrat? Did you support Obama and Clinton? You are a partisan who may not be trusted as objective.
FUCuomo

Take it up with your pals at Media Matters that aimed that mud at us first homie.
Getting a taste of being a Republican and you cry like a baby!
I’m a victim damnit!!!
Honkey say what?
Suck it up, buttercup. You laugh in a clip about how much your ilk are supporting Hillary. Your network colluded with Donna Brazile on debate questions. That you get associated with ANY kind of news — fake or otherwise, is still over your pay grade. Detestable slime.
