The CNN host, who was diagnosed with the Wuhan coronavirus earlier this month, bitterly complained about his job about his anchor duties at the cable news network, stating “I don’t like what I do professionally. I don’t think it’s worth my time.”
During that same segment, Cuomo also talked about an Easter Sunday encounter with someone who he called a “jackass, loser, fat-tire biker” who allegedly confronted him from a distance about why he was outside with his family and not quarantining in the basement. Let’s quickly recap what Cuomo said about the person (language warning):
“I don’t want some jackass, loser, fat-tire biker being able to pull over and get in my space and talk bullsh*t to me, I don’t want to hear it,” Cuomo said while lamenting his profession doesn’t allow him to tell his critics to “go to hell.”

“I want to be able to tell you to go to hell, to shut your mouth,” Cuomo continued. “I don’t get that, doing what I do for a living … me being able to tell you to shut your mouth or I will do you the way you guys do each other.”
“Here I am in an almost powerless position against this a**hole because I’m a celebrity and he’s allowed to say whatever he wants to me,” he added.
Well, two days after the encounter and one day after Cuomo went off on him on his radio program, the New York Post reported that the bicyclist filed a police complaint against Cuomo after his program aired and the news reports circulated.
