YouTube Temporarily Removes ‘Fredo’ Video of Chris Cuomo, Claims It Violates ‘Policy on Harassment and Bullying’

By Shane Trejo

A video of CNN’s Chris Cuomo showing the fake news anchor lose his cool and threaten a Trump supporter who called him “Fredo” with violent language was temporarily removed by YouTube today, claiming the content violates their “policy on harassment and bullying.”

https://twitter.com/alx/status/1161278840909553664?ref_src=twsrc%5EtfwTwitter is also working to censor Cuomo’s tangent, giving a warning that it “may contain sensitive material” before allowing users to access the content.

Cuomo has a long history of bullying and threatening behavior toward his political opponents. He lobbed attacks at a rape victim whose message of empowerment was posted by the NRA due to her support for gun rights.

He defended the terror group that has repeatedly attacked innocent people like journalist Andy Ngo for the purposes of intimidation. He claimed their ambush attacks are justified to punish supposed white racists.

“People who show up to fight against bigots are not to be judged the same as the bigots even if they do resort to the same kinds of petty violence,” Cuomo said last year.

Despite their capitulation on the Fredo video, it is clear that Big Tech is out to protect the fake news media through their biased censorship policies.
