Chris Cuomo warns CNN’s Scott Jennings over his refusal to stop using the term ‘illegals’: ‘Don’t be a tough guy’
NewsNation host Chris Cuomo warned CNN analyst Scott Jennings Wednesday that if he keeps using the term “illegal aliens,” somebody might beat him up.
Cuomo accused Jennings of acting like a “bully” and a “tough guy” when he dismissed activist Cameron Kasky’s assertion that “you don’t get to say the word illegals anymore,” during a recent CNN panel.
Jennings refused to stop using the term and repeatedly asked Kasky, “How are you going to enforce your edict on me?”
“What are you a bully now? What are you a tough guy?” Cuomo raged in a video posted on social media, “Because you’re talking to this kid, who happens to be right, calling people ‘illegal.’”
“A long time ago, Democrats and Republicans agreed to call them ‘undocumented’ instead of ‘illegal’ because it seemed inhuman,” he argued. “That’s why. They changed the vernacular, and you know it!”

That little PUNK, Cameron, David Hogg’s main squeeze, actually told Jennings that he COULDN’T USE THE TERM ILLEGAL!!!
Suddenly, Democrats discover polite language
uhhhh Chris.....you realize “illegal aliens” is the correct legal term right?
The term is contained in the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) and defined as a person who is not a U.S. citizen or national and is present in the country without legal authorization.
How about Wetback?
The fired by CNN Fredo? That one?
The term “illegal alien” is found in federal statutes, such as the Immigration and Nationality Act.
And Cuomo is all scoldy because Jennings is using official language?
I doubt his pea brain realizes that.
Contrary to popular opinion in some strata of society, there are very definitely legal aliens. They have applied for a visa, been found to be of good character and of sufficient means to support themselves, and they obey the strictures of that visa, departing before the expiration date.
Those who do not comply with the limitations are by definition illegal aliens.
Names don’t matter as much as deeds.
And our current president, who was elected on a mass-deportation platform (”They all have to go”), just told the globalists yesterday that he’s in reality an amnesty RINO on the issue.
but, but, but....democracy!!!
Illegal alien is the correct term.
A perfect example of the British slang “getting your knickers in a twist”.
Bank heist, undocumented withdrawal
Hey, if Cuomo prefers “undocumented”, then maybe he ought to buy an “undocumented” car, to drive his mom over to the “undocumented” surgery center, for that life-saving surgical procedure by the “undocumented” doctors...
Fredo is desperately trying to keep from getting fired and having to rely on Andy to support him. “I’m smart. I can do things.”
I never agreed to that Cris Homo. They came across the boarder illegally ,so in fact ,that makes them illegals. Duh!
