CNN's Chris Cuomo said he is embarrassed after being suspended by the network on Tuesday following new revelations about his involvement in his brother, former N.Y. Gov. Andrew Cuomo's (D), campaign to defend himself from allegations of sexual harassment.

"It hurts to even say it. It’s embarrassing. But I understand it. And I understand why some people feel the way they do about what I did. I’ve apologized in the past, and I mean it," Cuomo said Wednesday on his weekday radio show on SiriusXM. "It’s the last thing I ever wanted to do, was compromise any of my colleagues and do anything but help. I know they have a process that they think is important. I respect that process, so I'm not going to talk about this any more than that.

A specific crime, if CNN should pursue it, would be embezzlement of company funds/resources for private investigative work of a personal nature and not company business.

The Chicken Noodle Network should also fire his producer for allowing his crap to get on the air. What’s sad is if Fredo moved to MSNBC, he would be the one with the most journalistic integrity.

I don’t this Cuomo is capable of feeling embarrassed. He is a mindless meathead.

👍

If the Cuomos conspired together to cover up evidence of criminal activity, that is itself a crime.

[Mr. K]

You spelled “Hypocritical” wrong, Fredo

[SpaceBar]

Might as well toss in conspiracy to intimidate witnesses.

What a corrupt sleeze ball - I’m sure CNN will have him back on the air asap 🤪

They could send him to Vegas to learn the casino business. Keep him away from the waitresses.

I rarely disagree with Tucker Carlson but his take last night about Cuomo being treated unfairly for just being loyal to his family (brother) was mindless and just plain surreal.

[Obadiah]

A guy who uses his media clout to effect a personal political outcome in which any other person, in any industry, would have instantly been fired.

A guy (Toobin) who masturbates in front of his colleagues.

As James Earl Jones intones:"This is CNN"

[faucetman]

“after being suspended by the network”

I thought it was suspended “indefinitely”?

In other words, YOU’RE FIRED!

[Tell It Right]

I can't read or hear Toobin's name without thinking of Def Leppard's Foolin' lyrics, but replacing the word "fooling" with "Toobin". LOL

Toobin!
Ta-ta-ta-toooobin!
Toobin!
Ta-ta-ta-toooobin!
Toobin!
I said I'm toobin' myself! (backgroud vocals: toobin' myself)

He’s suspended. Until such time as it’s off the news cycle whereupon he can return and do it all over again.

Too bad. If the stories about CNN's new president are true, you may be among the lucky ones getting out. There may be a bloodbath of on-air personnel at CNN because that new president wants CNN to get back to news reporting.

CNN's Chris Cuomo didn't "compromise his colleagues"; they compromised themselves. That's what they do and how they got their jobs.

Katy Tur is apparently just one of many who got caught crossing the line.

[Kid Shelleen]

He is embarrassed about getting caught but not about enabling a sexual predator granny killer.

[ShadowAce]

I know they have a process that they think is important. I respect that process, so I'm not going to talk about this any more than that.

"They Think"

That means he doesn't think it's important.

Cuomo is only sorry he got caught.
