Hannity Defends Chris Cuomo After He’s Filmed Threatening Heckler Over ‘F*cking Insult’

Battling primetime hosts Sean Hannity and Chris Cuomo had a rare moment of solidarity Monday evening after Fox’s Hannity extended an olive branch to the CNN host after he was filmed shouting at a heckler for calling him “Fredo.”

When Hannity defends you… You have to know you fucked up somewhere…

Frankly, the world should be more offended by the television screenshot Rump Junior chose to tweet, where they announce him comparing the border wall to a zoo fence.

Maybe it’s time for Fredogate to stop being a thing. Couple of people behaving badly. Might as well go viral with the next argument over a parking space.

Careful, someone will accept that as a personal challenge and the video will have 600,000 hits before lunch.

You’re saying there’s banal stuff on the interwebs? Huh. :laughing:

So absolutely perfect that Junior, who’s a total Fredo in a different context (with a soupçon of Sonny), would leap into this.

Also kind of amazing that there is no equivalent slur of German Americans (has anyone been called ‘Fritz’ derogatorily since, like, 1946?).

On the other hand, if Don Jr. criticizes you can’t possible had screwed up that bad.

Racism can be like a drug…in this case snatching people starting with POC and then proceeding through those who are not W.A.S.P.s…in the order that they differ from W.A.S.P.s and W.A.S.P. equivalents.

The high needs to get fed stronger

Hannity is only defending Cuomo here because Hannity is a neanderthal who gets off on animalistic displays of power and frat boy tough guy bullshit. Wait until Cuomo says something that requires nuanced thought again.

Yeah, he’ll defend Cuomo right up to the point when Fat Ass Tweets, “FAKE NEWS anchor at FAILED cable news station CNN. SAD!!!”. Then Hannity will resume his main occupation of gargling Trump’s tiny testicles.

Oh, and here’s another RW idiot who’s always good for a laugh. Dinesh D’Souza, Supergenius and - despite a pardon from Fat Ass - Superfelon, who, like Billo with the tides, cannot comprehend the mystery of the seasons:

Someone on Twitter quickly pointed out to Little Don that, unlike himself, at least Cuomo had a real career. DJTJ’s response: [crickets].

I think the moral here is that it’s tough being a true Fredo.

OT but still media-related, I came across this gem of an example of RW brilliance in the latest edition of one of the local free community papers:

Note the subtlety and elegance of the messaging and text. I suspect that it was better in the original German, but commies can’t be losers, er, choosers.

These malcontents and their culture of white racist reactionary resentment are so pathetic.

Como looses his cool and reacts poorly. He probably regrets it now or will once his head clears. We all have rage we try to control, some better than others. This explosion might very well have had nothing to do with this particular event but might be something spilling over from another part of his life. It happens.

The real lesson here is if a Liberal succumbs to anger and threats of violence we will finally have found common cause with Republicans like Hannity. This is who they are at their best and who we are only at our worst moments.

It’s the Republican theory of tan suit is the same sort of thing as treason. The public is always duped once you point out both side are to blame.
