Again, I don't agree with what he said to the guy who insulted him. I'm giving Cuomo credit for standing up for himself and not hitting his harasser in the heat of the moment.
There is a distinction.
I'm well aware that chucking people down a flight of stairs could kill them. It was a stupid thing he said while flustered and angry. I don't think there was any sincerity in it, though I do believe he was angry enough to actually fight it out with the guy.
Were they even near stairs at the time?
Either way, if Cuomo had actually tried to harm the shit-talker, you wouldn't see me posting "Free Cuomo" if he got arrested for it.

Now imagine the scenario has a qualifier: you're a public figure who has had zero problems with Republican politicians having shit said to them while they're out with *their* families. And you've also referred to yourself as Fredo.
That's a false equivalency. You can't ignore the context just because the same words were used.
For example, calling oneself a f*cking idiot for whatever reason is not the same as a complete stranger coming up to you at a restaurant and calling you a f*cking idiot.
It does show more than a bit of hypocrisy to enjoy this type of harrassment when it happens to others you don't agree with or particularly like. Not familiar enough with Cuomo to know whether he's done so.
