CNN PrimeTime host Chris Cuomo has a very long and well-documented history of not only supporting the left-wing domestic terrorists known as Antifa, but he also has a penchant for resorting to physical violence. So, it was concerning when he rails against Republican lawmakers for several minutes Wednesday, calling them “toxically partisan,” and proclaiming “they are going to lose way more than this election.”
In the past, he has threatened to seriously injure a Trump supporter by throwing him down a flight of stairs, and more recently, he said he wanted to “choke” and “punch” his critics. And in his rant that openly admitted he was politicizing Veterans Day, he let it be known how much he hated Republicans (Click “expand”):
Happy Veterans Day to the men and women who serve now and who did serve, and to the families. The husbands and wives worrying at home. The kids with missed memories. The brothers and sisters and loved ones wondering when those who risk it all for us to have it all will be home. Thank you to each and all of you. We appreciate, certainly I appreciate your service.
And may we take this message of this day, the ideal of putting nation before self, even committing to the ultimate sacrifice more to heart. Yeah, I’m politicizing it. And I’m looking at you, GOP enablers. And you know why.
“And these GOP cronies know it is over. Shame on you for allowing crazy to become contagious as COVID in your ranks,” he declared.
Cuomo continued his roid rage by suggesting, without evidence, that Trump was installing “loyalists” in the Pentagon because he was planning some kind of villainous military action abroad or possibly at home:
Why do you think Trump is ousting Pentagon leadership and loading up with loyalists? Maybe it's for troop withdrawal. Maybe it's to get Russian information released. And maybe it is because he is twisted enough to try to do something way worse.
According to him, “the blame” for President Trump’s refusal to concede “must be put on those who ignore and, therefore, empower,” by which he meant the GOP. He then instructed his viewers to do what murderous regimes throughout history had done: make an enemies list. “I'm telling you. Remember the people who are enabling this fraud. They must answer for defending Trump's delusions.”
And when complaining about how GOP lawmakers “won't even say President-Elect Biden in public,” he dehumanized them by comparing them to some of the world’s dictators. “You know who else is doing that? Vladimir Putin, President XI, and Kim Jong-un. Great company,” he sneered.
“Even Karl Rove, remember him? He penned an op-ed saying this is over,” he added. “Do you know how toxically partisan you have to be for Karl Rove to be more fair to Democrats than you? And remember, the shame is that this is a game for them.”
After playing a video of Republicans and Trump campaign officials calling out Democrats for not accepting the results of the 2016 election, that’s then made his apparent threat. “Shame on them. A wax museum is less cold-blooded than these people are. And let them know they are going to lose way more than this election,” he stressed.
Ignoring how some Democrats refused to go to Trump’s inauguration and spend four years claiming he was an “illegitimate” president (including Hillary Clinton), Cuomo showed another montage claiming the opposite.
This is CNN.
Cuomo’s apparent threat to the lives of GOP lawmakers was made possible because of lucrative sponsorships from Liberty Mutual and Humira. Their contact information is linked so you can let them know about the hatred they’re funding.

CNN’s Cuomo PrimeTime
November 11, 2020
9:00:19 p.m. EasternCHRIS CUOMO: Happy Veterans Day to the men and women who serve now and who did serve, and to the families. The husbands and wives worrying at home. The kids with missed memories. The brothers and sisters and loved ones wondering when those who risk it all for us to have it all will be home. Thank you to each and all of you. We appreciate, certainly I appreciate your service.
And may we take this message of this day, the ideal of putting nation before self, even committing to the ultimate sacrifice more to heart. Yeah, I’m politicizing it. And I’m looking at you, GOP enablers. And you know why. Veterans Day came from Armistice Day, Eisenhower renamed it. Armistice Day was when both sides laid down arms in World War I. The date was to mark the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918 when it ended.
Well, it is the 11th hour now after this election. And these GOP cronies know it is over. Shame on you for allowing crazy to become contagious as COVID in your ranks. Why do you think Trump is ousting Pentagon leadership and loading up with loyalists? Maybe it's for troop withdrawal. Maybe it's to get Russian information released. And maybe it is because he is twisted enough to try to do something way worse.
Remember who said nothing. Remember their shame. The president-elect, Biden is doing what he can. He's meeting, planning to take on the pandemic. You know, the one where all the numbers are now in crazy scary territory and Trump hasn't even mentioned it. Does it sound like someone his party should placate?
Now we hear, not only is this administration denying security briefings to the president-elect, but they're blocking Biden from receiving a stack of messages from foreign leaders.
Again, this goes way beyond Trump. Trump is toxic, surprise. However, the real surprise is the blame that must be put on those who ignore and, therefore, empower. And those who say, this should just run its course. Running its course means transition, and they know it. I'm telling you. Remember the people who are enabling this fraud. They must answer for defending Trump's delusions. They are remaining silent when it matters most.
Most Republicans in Washington, did you know, they won't even say President-Elect Biden in public. You know who else is doing that? Vladimir Putin, President XI, and Kim Jong-un. Great company.
The best they can be apparently is Senator Langford from Oklahoma. He sits on the Homeland Security Committee. Now, he won’t call Biden president-elect either. He does say, though, he should get the daily security brief. Can you believe that's the best in their ranks? Even Karl Rove, remember him? He penned an op-ed saying this is over.
Karl Rove. Do you know how toxically partisan you have to be for Karl Rove to be more fair to Democrats than you? And remember, the shame is that this is a game for them.

CUOMO: Shame on them. A wax museum is less cold-blooded than these people are. And let them know they are going to lose way more than this election.
This matters. What they're playing at now matters. This isn't tax, don't tax. This isn't who lies, who doesn't lie. This is what lies at the heart of our democracy, and they know it. Hillary Clinton, say what you want, she promptly conceded even though she spanked them in the popular vote. Why? That's what our system demands. Other Democrats swiftly came to terms with Trump's victory.
