Chris Cuomo Brags About Drinking 'Like a Man' in Contrast to Trump

December 19th, 2017 2:49 PM

Oh, Chris! That manly, one-handed grip you demonstrated on Tuesday's New Day on CNN to chug down a pretend drink is so impressive! It almost makes us forget that one of your nicknames is "Fredo."

Chris Cuomo's demonstration of how he grips a glass before downing a drink came in reaction to a video clip of President Donald Trump using two hands to drink some water. In reaction, Cuomo just couldn't resist some mockery but in the process he went just enough overboard to make himself walk on the silly side with his demonstration of how to drink like a man. Got that? Drink like a man!

 

 

ALISYN CAMEROTA: President Trump's water break is trending on social media this morning. The president reached for a glass of water during his national security speech and Twitter took note. It has led to comparisons of how the president needs to use two hands, apparently, to drink from a water bottle. He did that during the speech last month and then again yesterday. The water works with the president started -- the water works started with the campaign, of course, when he poked fun at Senator Marco Rubio for pausing mid-sentence for some water. But this is an even smaller glass yesterday where he used two hands. I believe last time you called it the baby grip.

CHRIS CUOMO: Well, that is the sippy cup grip that you're using there right now. Now, I don't get all the hands thing and the glass. You know, I don't ...I don't know what it's all about and this...

CAMEROTA: You drink from a vase.

CUOMO: This is what I drink out of.

CAMEROTA: Wow.

CUOMO: I drink out of a... And I hold it like a man, with one hand.

CAMEROTA: Yes.

CUOMO: But that's, you know, that's me.

CAMEROTA: Right, that's you. You just have giant...

CUOMO: And I don't think it's a judgment -- certainly not one of our biggest concerns. If you want to hold the cup with all your hands, you know, you... That's what you do.

CAMEROTA: It is the sippy cup grip.

CUOMO: This is my glass.

CAMEROTA: Wow. That's what you do shots from.

CUOMO: Yes, but only when I'm working.

Wow! He holds it like a man! With one hand!

Did Fredo in Havana drink his banana daiquiri (called "banana daiquiri" in Spanish) with one hand?
