Chris Cuomo says talking about politics makes it difficult for him to avoid violence

Chris Cuomo said on a podcast that political discussion on television has made it harder for him to control his anger, including what he described as an urge to punch people. He also said he would never run for office and was considering leaving political commentary, though the article suggests he may have been joking.

Cuomo currently hosts a cable news programme on NewsNation. The article recalls two past confrontations: in 2019, he threatened to throw a man down stairs after being called “Fredo”, and in 2020, he shouted at a cyclist who challenged him while he was recovering from COVID-19.
