Last night, Chris Cuomo, affectionately known as Fredo, made a very revealing and balloonheaded statement about faith when discussing SCOTUS nominee Amy Coney Barrett.
You have to hear it to believe it.
"I think that her faith is by design more central to her value system and her behavior and thoughts than it would be for just an ordinary Catholic."
Here we have someone who is himself, supposedly, a practicing Catholic who thinks it is completely out of bounds for your faith to have an impact on your value system or behavior. Amy Coney Barrett might actually believe what she says she believes? And that might have an impact on her values?
Cuomo, however, is an "ordinary" Catholic. The kind who can say they believe the teachings of the Catholic Church but still support gay marriage and on-demand abortions until the point of birth.
The media has been running for weeks on this religious fanaticism narrative. You'll recall that the group Fredo is referring to, People of Praise, has been falsely slandered by the media as the inspiration for the dystopian novel "The Handmaid's Tale." Michael Moore furthered this hysteria the other day, tweeting a photoshopped image of Judge Barrett to make the Handmaid's Tale comparison again.
To quote an inspiration when it comes to mocking the media, Michael Malice, "the depravity and malfeasance of the corporate press is without cessation."
Although, this kind of commentary is probably not shocking coming from a show where Fredo is interviewing Hawaii Senator Mazie "Have you ever sexually assaulted anyone" Hirono.
