Hypocrisy was apparently the main course at CNN host Chris “Fredo” Cuomo’s Memorial Day barbeque, because he was serving up leftovers during Tuesday’s edition of Cuomo PrimeTime. Cuomo, the guy who beclowned himself by twirling around giant cotton swabs and flouted his coronavirus quarantine when he knew he was infected, bashed President Trump with accusations of playing games and those who didn’t want to wear masks when they went outside. He also questioned the intelligence of the White House press secretary.

It was a week ago when Cuomo demonstrated how little he cared about the elderly New Yorkers affected by his brother’s order to put coronavirus patients in nursing homes. Instead of holding Governor Andrew Cuomo accountable, Chris pulled out some giant prop cotton swabs and mocked the size of his brother’s nose. And it has been well documented, including a police report, that Chris had left his house on Easter Sunday when he knew he was infected with the virus.

But those facts didn’t stop him from kicking off his show by lashing out at President Trump and accuse him of “playing games” while people died. “Nearly 100,000 Americans dead and this President is playing games over Joe Biden wearing a mask,” he sneered. Adding: “How about the clowns, who are ready to double down on the death toll because they want to get their party on for the holiday?

I could show you example after example after example of people acting like fools,” he ranted a couple of minutes later. “Not just, you know, not having any sense for their own safety but, the safety of others. And that's not loving misery. That is embracing the mentality of caring for other people.”

Really? Was it the “mentality of caring for other people” that led him to break quarantine (spreading it to, at least, his wife and kids) and verbally assail a 65-year-old man?
