Chris Cuomo: I Don't Like My Job
/
CNN Anchor Chris Cuomo came out and said it.
“I don’t like what I do professionally,” he said. “I don’t think it’s worth my time.”
Cuomo made the remarks on his SiriusXM radio show. “I don’t want to spend my time doing things that I don’t think are valuable enough to me personally,” Cuomo said. “I don’t value indulging irrationality, hyper-partisanship.”
Cuomo said he had a run-in with a guy on his bike over the weekend and that seemed to set him off.
“I don’t want some jackass, loser, fat tire biker being able to pull over and get in my space and talk bulls–t to me, I don’t want to hear it,” he said.
Cuomo said he wishes he could have acted like a regular Joe and told the biker to “go to hell.” “That matters to me more than making millions of dollars a year … because I’ve saved my money and I don’t need it anymore,” he said. “I want to be able to tell you to go to hell, to shut your mouth … I don’t get that doing what I do for a living. “Me being able to tell you to shut your mouth or I will do you the way you guys do each other.”
In other words, Cuomo seems to be saying that his job at CNN doesn’t let him be a wise ass.
The guy on the bike was a 65-year-old guy named David and he has filed a police complaint over the incident with Cuomo.
He says that he was riding his bike past Cuomo’s house and saw the CNN host outside with this family.
“I just looked and said, ‘Is that Chris Cuomo? Isn’t he supposed to be quarantined?'” David said.
"May I help you?" a woman, David presumed was Cuomo's wife, asked as she approached the bicyclist.
David reportedly told her he was riding his bike and began asking why the CNN anchor was "out of quarantine and not social-distancing from the group."
But then Cuomo directly responded.
“He said, ‘Who the hell are you?! I can do what I want!' He just ranted, screaming, ‘I’ll find out who you are!’" David recalled. “I said to him, ‘Your brother is the coronavirus czar, and you’re not even following his rules — unnecessary travel.'" David alleged, "He said, ‘This is not the end of this. You’ll deal with this later. We will meet again.’ If that’s not a threat, I don’t know what is.”
"I hate bullies," David, a self-proclaimed lifelong Democrat and supporter of Gov. Andrew Cuomo, said.
Cuomo later tried to put the toothpaste back in the tube. “I love where I am. I love what I do. That doesn't mean it isn't frustrating,” he said the next day.
All of our jobs are frustrating at times, Chris. It doesn’t mean we want to pop some 65-year-old guy in the mouth just for saying something you don’t like.
Looks like Fredo’s temper is flaring up again.
By the way, if he is COVID-19 positive, why was he outside with his family?
Just asking….
