Over the years, former CNN anchor Chris Cuomo has shown a healthy dose of contempt for the working-class Americans who tend to support the Republican Party.
Detached liberal elites have often shown contempt for such people because they have no clue what the day-to-day life of a blue-collar worker even looks like.
Well, according to a recently released report, Cuomo got a small glimpse into the blue-collar worker lifestyle.
Apparently, it was too much for him to handle.
Months after being fired from CNN for using his professional connections to help his brother dodge sexual harassment allegations, Cuomo applied for a volunteer position with the East Hampton Fire Department, two anonymous sources reportedly told the Daily Beast.
After meeting with chiefs only a short time later, however, Cuomo withdrew his application.
Why? Because the job is too time-consuming.
“Cuomo, who shares a home with his wife Christina Cuomo in extremely prestigious Southampton, seemed ‘eager’ to become a member of the all-volunteer squad, according to our sources, but balked at the time commitment,” Daily Beast reported.
In other words, Cuomo was enticed by the prestige that comes with such a position but wasn’t willing to put in the necessary work to earn it.
Speaking with the Daily Beast, EHFD Chief Duane Forrester revealed that the intense time commitment tends to scare off celebrities from joining the unit.
“It’s a very time-consuming thing. There are monthly meetings and drills, and you have to meet a percentage of your calls,” Forrester said. “That’s why we don’t have many celebrities.”
Since being ousted from CNN, Cuomo has been working especially hard to maintain relevance.

Too late already on his resume
He only ever had relevance to the Clown Show that is CNN.
Amazon might be hiring...
Or Burger King...
“I can handle things! I’m smart! Not like everybody says... like dumb ...”
Hahaha
About right.
YAYY! I’ve been really needing a good news headline and story. Thank you!!
You can’t maintain relevance if you don’t have it in the first place.
What is healthy about contempt for your fellow Americans?
He's one sick guy. His brother is another one.
I was a volunteer EMT for nearly two decades. I was on call for plenty of holidays and got called during raging blizzards, in below zero temperatures, assisted during floods tornadoes and natural disasters and saw some thi is that still haunt me. I spent hundreds of hours in training and recertification. My volunteer time was in addition to working a full time professional job and having a family with two small kids. I did it often at sacrifice to my personal time and time with family. I did it as a service to my community and never sought recognition. I know that thousands of other men and women do this everyday for the same reasons.
Cuomo is one of smug elites and couldn’t lower himself to do this in his opinion menial service. He would not be willing or able to hold a fire hose in freezing temperatures,
or be covered in blood desperately trying to save the life of an injured stranger. Cuomo is quick to criticize us for not doing enough for climate change and other pet liberal causes, but has neither the inclination nor fortitude to truly help his community.
“What is healthy about contempt for your fellow Americans?”
A healthy dose means a large amount.
Saying Cuomo has a healthy dose of contempt for working Americans means he has a large amount of contempt for working Americans.
It has nothing to do with actual health.
Is this a position as a volunteer firefighter? He expected to do that without going to training or being available for calls? What did he figure he could offer them, the pleasure of his company when felt like showing up?
Or Andy Gump honey dippers he’s good at handling that stuff.
Perfect!
Wow! Thanks for all your service. People like you are what has made America great. An unsung hero.
Meh. The title doesn’t match the story.
Wow, buddy. I took my Army hat off over 30 years ago, but If I were wearing it, I would take it off for you. You are the epitome of what “to serve” is all about. Thank you for the sacrifices you’ve made.
