CNN’s Cuomo Deletes Tweet Threatening Reddit User Who Posted Trump Video

Co-host of CNN’s “New Day” Chris Cuomo deleted a tweet Wednesday in which he proposed revealing the identity of the Reddit user who posted the CNN wrestling video of President Donald Trump.

One Twitter user screen shot Cuomo’s tweet and criticized the co-host for trying to intimidate a teenager in order to suppress negative coverage of his home network.

Why did @ChrisCuomo delete this tweet? Possibly because they found out it was 15 year old kid they are trying to extort. #CNNBlackmail pic.twitter.com/JfLWOI6bo4 — Mark M. (@mmontuori) July 5, 2017

Just realized why the “rumor” that he is 15 is true.

If he was an adult, we’d already know his address by now, and half of American voters would be cheering at the “need” to out him.

Liberal bullies complain that bullying is anything in existence contrary to their sacred narratives, that merely seeing conservative ideas in practice is an affront akin to Muslims tearing down symbols that contradict Islam, while readily assaulting people including physically and weaponizing poverty to punish them for contradicting their narratives.
Liberal bullies are the worst bullies, those who readily mob to tear down their targets but cry that they themselves are the victims.
And liberal bullies are imitating the worst of Islam:
* claiming that a criticism of the ideology or its end results is an attack on the whole group, enabling and justifying MOB violence
* equating words with violence which enables physical assaults in response to speech they don’t like
* saying the ideology is so sacred that it is a sin of the highest order to contradict it in any way and the greatest good is defending the ideology, so threatening or actually killing people is acceptable to defend the highest good - Islam/liberalism

Tracked IP address

And united 4chan and Reddit against it, because EVERYONE understands that they threaten your safety by sending liberal hate mobs against you, as well as how unfair it is to threaten you forever and ever for publishing a funny meme if you don’t grovel, hide and never EVER do it again.

Maybe. FWIW, I’d want the people involved deposed under oath. Then see what their story is.

Doesn’t matter if he’s 15 or 50. What you have is a purported ‘news organization’ stalking and threatening a private citizen. CNN should have their license revoked and their satellite transponders cut off. Then get the living bejesus sued out of them for harassment by that Reddit user.

Could it have been Twitter that leaked his name? Somebody did.

Enjoyed Rush calling Cuomo “Fredo” this afternoon.

What a lowlife this Cuomo is. I take that back, what a bunch of leftist thugs the Cuomo family are.

Excuse my ignorance but I’m neither a Twitter or Reddit user but what does DOX mean?

[Bob434]

I am undoubtedly more ignorant than you- I haven’t got a clue-

Dox = making public someone’s private personal information. Name, address, employer, phone number, that sort of thing.

It could be very dangerous to someone that the hater left might go after. CNN would dox the reddit user giving antifa or a James Hodgkinson the opportunity to hunt him down. CNN has moved into gestapo territory- but then so has a lot of the Obama Left.

I really would like to know how CNN got the Reddit user’s info, and if any laws were broken in acquiring and/or disseminating the info.

Several posters on Reddit think the admins on Reddit provided CNN the guys email address from his profile. This not to say what CNN did with it didn't break any laws.

Here is from one post I read that is addressing what you are asking.

Here's how CNN #CNNBlackmail went down, from insider at CNN that spiilled the beans on 4Chan.
