CNN anchor Chris Cuomo just managed to bewilder a sizable chunk of the Twittersphere with his bizarrely intimate response to an online troll.

The online spat began when Cuomo, the younger brother of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, lost his cool over an insult that's ruffled his feathers in the past: someone called him "Fredo," a reference to the weakest younger brother in classic Italian mob film The Godfather.


Apparently that term seriously gets under Cuomo's skin. What else would explain his decision to get into the weeds and respond to a random Twitter troll?


Cuomo benefited from some online support after his first response to the provocation. Someone weighed in to steer the focus back to Cuomo's service as a reporter.

For a second, it was looking like things were back on the rails.

But alas, another troll was coming in hot.


In an apparent attempt to shutdown the ongoing troll-fest, Cuomo opted to take out his camera and share a photo that hovers somewhere between a celebration and a threat.

People were utterly puzzled by the Emmy-winner's decision to flash his bicep.






Cuomo, however, was not finished. He also had some colorful responses to those criticisms. It must have been a very slow news day.





Here's hoping Cuomo's day job stays busy enough to keep spats like this a rare thing.

California Democratic Senator Alex Padilla spoke out after disturbing footage showed him getting dragged out of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's press conference in Los Angeles yesterday for trying to ask a question—only for law enforcement to shove him to the ground and handcuff him.

Padilla introduced himself and merely said he had "questions for the secretary" at Noem's press conference addressing President Donald Trump's deployment of members of the National Guard, and later the Marines, in response to protests in Los Angeles against the Trump administration's immigration raids.

Vance Tried To Make A Joke About Seeing 'Les Misérables' At The Kennedy Center—And It's Peak Cringe

Vice President JD Vance had people groaning after he made a bad joke about the production of Les Misérables he and his wife, Second Lady Usha Vance, attended at the Kennedy Center with President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump.

The musical, set in 19th century France, tells the story of Jean Valjean, an ex-convict who is released from prison for stealing a loaf of bread. The story touches on timeless themes such as justice and mercy—and also happens to be about people resisting an authoritarian takeover, which many find ironic given the Trump administration's response to protests in Los Angeles.
