On his show Tuesday, CNN blowhard Chris Cuomo encouraged more nationwide rioting and looting because nowhere is it written that “protesters are supposed to be polite and peaceful,” he said.

“Now, too many see the protests as the problem,” Cuomo declared. “No, the problem is what forced your fellow citizens to take to the streets: persistent, poisonous inequities and injustice.” No, the problem is that the protests have nothing to do anymore with the death of George Floyd in police custody. They have become violent, anarchic class warfare.

“And please show me where it says protesters are supposed to be polite and peaceful,” Cuomo added idiotically. “Because I can show you that outraged citizens are what made the country what she is and led to any major milestone… Police are the ones required to be peaceful, to deescalate, to remain calm.”

Wrong again. Police are the ones required to enforce the law. Protesters are legally and constitutionally required to be peaceful. Cuomo is inciting violence.

Characterizing Donald Trump As “A Virus”

In a March 2018 interview with Cuomo, former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci explained that President Trump’s effort to “drain” the proverbial “swamp” of Washington politics was a difficult task because “the immunological system around the swamp is so powerful that it will reject a disruptive move to change the system.” In response, Cuomo suggested that “maybe adding a virus into that system … wasn’t the … appropriate change mechanism.”

Comparing President Trump to a North Korean Dictator

Following President Trump’s March 2018 announcement that he wished to hold a military parade on Veterans’ Day to honor all the people who had ever served in the U.S. Armed Forces, Cuomo characterized the idea as one “that you usually see in North Korea.”

Praising Antifa

In May 2019, Cuomo, speaking about the radical anarchist/Marxist organization Antifa, said: “There are certainly aspects of them that are true to a cause, that is a good cause, they want social justice, they want whatever they want in that context.”^[14]
