Chris Cuomo Is Not That Bright. Good Thing He Can Hide Behind His Last Name.

Chris Cuomo is the privileged son of Mario Cuomo. He is a liberal. He is a Democrat. He is a licensed attorney. But on CNN he plays an objective reporter who pretends to not be liberal.

He is a liberal. And in fact, off air, Cuomo is very openly a liberal. He also lets the facade down on twitter.

Cuomo, did I mention he was a lawyer?, also is pretty ignorant. Here is his latest on twitter:

it doesn’t. hate speech is excluded from protection. dont just say you love the constitution…read it https://t.co/znZJ8cPvpX

Cuomo believes hate speech is not protected by the United States Constitution.

You know who disagrees? The United States Supreme Court.

In Brandenburg v. Ohio (1969), the Court held that free speech even extends to calls to overthrow the government except when the speech encourages imminent illegal actions.

The Court expanded this in R.A.V. v. City of St. Paul (1992) when the Court explicitly held that a law criminalizing racist speech and hate speech was unconstitutional. Justice Scalia wrote the opinion.

But wait . . . it gets better.

In 2011, when Chris Cuomo was actually in the news business regularly, the Supreme Court issued Snyder v. Phelps (2011), which got widespread coverage, including by ABC News, then Cuomo’s beard for objectivity. The 8-1 decision held that Westboro Baptist Church could protest funerals and such.

Honestly, Chris Cuomo mouths off like this on air at CNN and on twitter. Each time he shows himself to be an ignorant dumbass, both shallow in his depth of understanding of the issues, and a maliciously hostile liberal to those he views as beneath him or “other”. It really tarnishes the image of his network and I get the sense the suits in New York really don’t care, which is sad.

Cuomo is not just a liberal. He’s also not that bright and has hidden behind his last name, not his capabilities, to advance himself in the media.
