Chris Cuomo Says He Wanted ‘To Kill Everybody’ After He Got Fired

Disgraced CNN host Chris Cuomo admitted he wanted “to kill everybody” including himself after he was fired following revelations he helped his brother then-New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo navigate several sexual harassment allegations.

During the former anchor’s appearance on Wednesday on Anthony Scaramucci’s podcastOpen Book,” Cuomo admitted he’s flawed and sought therapy after he was “s*** canned” by the network.

“I had to accept [my firing] because I was going to kill everybody, including myself,” the 52-year-old former CNN broadcaster shared, the New York Post noted.

“Things can consume you,” Cuomo continued. “Italians are so passionate. And I really had to fight against that because … I got too many people counting on me.”

The former host said he’s made “a lot of mistakes” and revealed he’s gotten therapy to deal with the fallout from no longer being the number 1 guy on CNN.

“There is damage that is relatable, there is damage that is unrelatable to people that I have to deal with, that I am working on,” Cuomo shared.

“At CNN, I wasn’t set up to be [No. 1],” Cuomo said. “I wasn’t the big name there, I didn’t have the big team, they didn’t do the advertising about me. But I was still No. 1.”

“I’ll never be that again,” he added. “That was taken from me, I believe wrongly. I’ll litigate that. I’m not going to b**** about that it in the press.”

In December 2021, Cuomo was fired from the network. In March, 2022 the former CNN host filed a $125 million lawsuit against the network after his job was terminated. He demanded $15 million in lost salary and $110 million in further damages, as The Daily Wire previously reported. The case is ongoing, the New York Post noted.

In July 2022, Cuomo announced that he’d been hired on by NewsNation and promised he would “try very hard to be  fair,” as previously reported.

“I’m going to do the job,” Cuomo said. “I’m going to go where the news is, and I’m going to try very hard to be fair. And I want to do it here. I want to make a difference. And I’m really hoping that it makes a difference for you [the viewer]. And I thank NewsNation very much for the opportunity.”

Biden Calls Maryland’s First Black Governor ‘Boy’

President Biden referred to new Maryland Democratic governor Wes Moore, the first black governor of his state, as “boy.”

Biden made his remarks before an audience of IBEW union workers.

“You got a hell of a new governor in Wes Moore, I tell ya,” Biden grinned. “He’s the real deal, and the boy looked like he could still play. He got some guns on him.”

Biden routinely uses the term “boy” to refer to others, as Fox News noted, having said of Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE), “And Chris Coons, who has the seat I used to hold. Only difference is that he not only has a law degree, he has a divinity degree. The boy can preach.”

He has also said of former U.S. Secretary of the Army Patrick Murphy, “And my buddy, Patrick Murphy, former … Secretary of the Army as well as a former congressman. And the boy stays in shape, man. Look at him.”

Both Coons and Murphy are white.

In August 2021, Biden introduced senior adviser Cedric Richmond, who is black, this way: “I’m here with my senior adviser and boy who knows Louisiana very, very well and New Orleans, Cedric Richmond.”

Not only does Biden not sound great here, but also called Cedric Richmond "boy," something the left would lose it if he were a Republican: "I'm here with — with my senior adviser and boy who knows Louisiana very, very well — man — and — and New Orleans, Cedric Richmond." pic.twitter.com/T11qNAGJhu

In 2019, discussing having worked with segregationists in the Senate in the past, Biden stated, “I was in a caucus with James O. Eastland. He never called me ‘boy,’ he always called me ‘son.’”

Criticized for his remarks, Biden said, “To the extent that anybody thought that I meant something different, that is not what I intended it. It’d be wrong for anybody to intend that.”

But New Jersey Democrat Sen. Cory Booker called on Biden to apologize. “This is about him invoking a terrible power dynamic that he showed a lack of understanding or insensitivity to by invoking this idea that he was called ‘son’ by white segregationists who, yeah, they see in him their son,” he said on ABC’s “This Week.”

Booker added on CNN, “For his posture to be, ‘I’ve done nothing wrong, you should apologize, I’m not a racist,’ is so insulting and so missing the larger point that he should not have to have explained to him, that this is not a lesson that someone who is running for president of the united states should have to be given.”

“These are the kind of things that do cause hurt and harm,” Booker added.
