Arguably his most toxic diatribe to date, CNN host Chris “Fredo” Cuomo ended Tuesday’s edition of Cuomo PrimeTime by lashing out at Fox News in the vilest of ways: Declaring that they were totally fine with 10,000 more Americans dying from the coronavirus.

“But right now, the American family is in a period of dysfunction, we're estranged and acting strangely. 10,000 more Americans could die by August because so many places are relaxing social distancing? What happened to no man left behind? Now it's 10,000 is okay,” Cuomo asked, in a “closing argument” he draped under the veil of Mother’s Day.

Cuomo blasted President Trump for the new safety measures implemented at the White House, and suggested Fox News was “okay” with innocent people dying by the thousands:

The President traces and tests every damn day. And everyone around him has a mask on. Now, he doesn't because he wants to keep up the Fox farce, this BS that COVID-19's overrated. I guess the anti-elitists over there are okay with 10,000 more dead. These liars and race-baiters want you to think Fauci is not to be believed, that social distancing is about stealing your freedom.
