By now you’ve heard about or
seen the viral video of CNN’s Chris Cuomo launching a profanity-laden tirade
against a man at a bar in New York. The
video was taken down by YouTube™ who later
reinstated it admitting it was a mistake to have done so.
Later in the day, as
the video kept racking up clicks and showed no signs of relenting, some iPhone
owners began asking Siri, Apple’s voice feature, “How old is Chris Cuomo?” Siri responded, “Fredo Cuomo is 49 years old.”
How hilarious is that? The virtual assistant was eventually edited
to correct the answer. It is not yet
clear how the change was made or who was responsible for the edit.
The comeuppance for
this mocktastic ignoramus didn’t stop there.
The Trump-Pence reelection campaign swooped in and made available the “Fredo
Unhinged” t-shirt. They’re available online.
“Help us annoy Chris
Cuomo and buy your ‘Fredo Unhinged Tee’ now!”, the ad says. The tees cost $34. Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale tweeted,
“Selling faster than Fredo’s meltdown!
Thank you #FredoCuomo
for filling up our coffers. You have now
directly supported the POTUS!”
Tim Murtaugh, Director
of Communications for the Trump campaign, said the t-shirts were a response to “media
elites who have different rules for themselves than the ones they try to
enforce on President Trump and his supporters.
Cuomo melted down. It felt like
it needed a t-shirt to commemorate the occasion.”
I ordered mine last
night.
