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!”

I put my foot down about multiple things like this years ago.

I refused to call illegal aliens anything else

and the same with black people, they are black.

“””How about Wetback?””””

The 1980 Charles Bronson movie called Borderline was about border patrol agents. They called them “wets”.. Couldn’t make that movie today.

I wasn’t sure “tough guy” was supposed to mean Jennings or Cuomo.

I Googled “Chris Cuomo asshole”. That answered my question.

It is all theater. If you are watching Cuomo then you are part of the problem.

“Undocumented” suggests an oversight on our part to do the paperwork to properly process them. We did not fail to process them. They came in ILLEGALLY.

Reminds me when the low life Roger Ailes abused his friendship with Rush Limbaugh.

Ailes arranged a dinner meeting with Rush at the Palm Restaurant and Rush was ambushed by the Aussie POS Rupert Murdoch and two snakes from the Senate, Chuckles the Clown Schumer and Linda Grahamnesty.

The point of discussion.

This crew tried to bum rush (pun intended) into not using the term amnesty to describe the Senate Bill called Comprehenive Immigration reform which was BLANKET AMNESTY.

Words matters.

Just like The TRAITORS to Our Republic who want to use gun regulation to nullify the Second Amendment they also want to regulate speech to nullify the First Amendment.

Our Republic is hanging by threads.

The TRAITORS know that.

And the threads are 1A and 2A.

Jennings was asking a pertinent question: How are you going to enforce your edict? Another question would be: Who made you the word Nazi for real life conversations?

Sounds like Fredo got hold of some good blow. Wonder if he uses Hunter’s source.
