CNN talker Chris Cuomo’s career at the hate-Trump network might soon end now that the New York attorney general has released text messages between Cuomo and his brother’s top aide that prove what everyone suspected.
The leftist Prime Time host wasn’t just a key advisor to big brother and New York Governor Andrew Cuomo during his sex-assault and harassment scandal. He actually wrote some of Handsy Andy’s press notices.
Even worse, Chris Cuomo tried to dig up dirt on one of Cuomo’s accusers, the back-and-forth with Melissa DeRosa shows.
In other words, Fredo — known by that name because he’s the stupid, weaker brother like Mario Puzo’s character in The Godfather franchise — was his brother’s consigliere. He advised the Cuomo Family Boss to help get him out of trouble.
But one might also call him a Cuomo button man. Fredo was prepared to smear and destroy any woman who dared tell the truth about his lascivious big brother.
Here’s How You Do It
The messages are clear on one thing: Fredo went to the mattresses for Andrew as one woman after another accused him of sexual harassment.
The CNN gabber “crafted at least two statements for his brother, one regarding accuser Charlotte Bennett’s claims, and another on Andrew’s refusal to resign,” the Daily Mail reported:
Lines from the latter statement he provided by text were used by his brother.
Texts also revealed Chris Cuomo used his connections to find out about accusers, telling DeRosa he had “a lead on the wedding girl,” in reference to Anna Ruch, who told the New York Times the governor became “aggressive” toward her during a September 2019 wedding.
Other texts show that he asked another journalist for information on a story being written by Ronan Farrow for the New Yorker, which centered around Boylan — whose story prompted another woman to come forward.
If true, that means other journalists knew of Cuomo’s major breach of journalistic ethics, such as they are, and did nothing about it.
More specifically, though, the text with DeRosa shows that Cuomo conspired with his brother to craft statements, although DeRosa told investigators with the attorney general’s office that much of the advice was unwanted and unsolicited.
Still, “pages of texts show Cuomo strategizing the former governor’s response to the allegations with DeRosa,” as the Mail reported. In one text exchange, Cuomo demanded to know why what he prepared for his brother to say about accuser Charlotte Bennett wasn’t used. “What happened to the statement?” Fredo asked.
On March 1, he sent this:
Here’s what he should have said: “I have carefully considered Ms. Bennett’s statement and my own conduct. I don’t dispute that our conversation was as she reports. I also do not dispute that my words and supervisory position may have created a hostile work environment. I apologize to Ms. Bennett and will promptly seek to personally communicate my apology to her. I also apologize to the people of New York State, who have a right to better conduct from their Governor. This will not happen again.”
Another text reviewed “Andrew Cuomo’s poor statement.”

Bennett’s interview with CBS News’s Norah O’Donnell greatly damaged the former governor not only because of the harassment itself, but also because it revealed his keen interest in sex with women young enough to be his daughter. “He asked me if age difference mattered,” Bennett told O’Donnell. “He also explained that he was fine with anyone over 22.”
Bennett said Cuomo “terrified” her. He inquired about a sexual assault she had suffered, and then began grooming her.
“Cuomo also sent DeRosa a later statement which his brother used lines from in responding to the allegations against him,” the texts show, and said a “friend” who is “very close” to Alec Baldwin asked the left-wing actor to defend Cuomo.
“Please let me help you with the prep,” Cuomo wrote in another text to DeRosa. “You need to trust me,” he wrote later, and “we are making mistakes we can’t afford.”

Another proposed statement from the 51-year-old leftist began this way: “I will not resign. I cannot resign.”
Almost a dozen women accused Andrew Cuomo of harassment before he resigned.
Fredo’s Sex Harassment, Anger Problem
Upshot is, the text messages show that Cuomo lied in August when he said he was not advising the disgraced governor, but instead only defending him. “I’m a brother,” he said at the time.
Indeed. But now that CNN knows that isn’t true, the question is what the network will do about Cuomo, a hard-left Democrat torpedo who spent four years bashing President Trump while masquerading as a “journalist.”
This isn’t, after all, the first scandal in which the millioniare “journalist” has been embroiled. In September, he too was forced to apologize for sexually harassing a producer when he was at ABC.
Last year, stricken with the China virus, he threatened a cyclist on Long Island who had called him out for violating his brother’s quarantine order. CNN did nothing.
Two years ago, he threatened to beat up a bar patron who called him Fredo, and also enjoyed priority China Virus testing thanks to his powerful brother. Again, CNN did nothing.
CNN is conducting a “thorough review” of the texts and network execs might, finally, call him in for a sit-down.
