CNN ECO-WARRIOR CHRIS CUOMO WAS IN ‘FULL-BLOWN DRAG RACE’ BEFORE CAR CRASH:

CNN anchor Chris Cuomo crashed his beloved 1969 Pontiac Firebird convertible in Southampton recently when, sources said, he was drag racing the hot rod. But a friend of the anchor insisted Cuomo never actually raced the car and was just goofing around for photos before he clumsily cracked his radiator by hitting a parked German import.

Cuomo’s wife, Cristina, hosted a chic party for her Beach magazine at Jue Lan Club over Memorial Day weekend, and sources told Page Six the night ended with Chris “drag racing.”

“It was a full-blown drag race . . . Everybody heard it,” said a source. “He lost control and crashed into a parked Mercedes. He was lucky because it was his friend’s car.”

Late last year on CNN, Cuomo hectored Rep. Steve King (R-IA) on air, asking, “Why won’t you get on board with the science” of global warming? Perhaps King is waiting for Cuomo himself to get onboard. To paraphrase the Insta-Professor, I’ll believe global warming is a crisis, when the people who tell me it’s a crisis act like it’s a crisis themselves – and cease drag racing in their ’69 Firebirds. Do it for Gaia, Chris!

Or do it to avoid the appearance of doubleplus ungood crimethink: “Dem Party Platform Calls For Prosecuting Global Warming Skeptics.” And the heretic in the photo below looks awfully skeptical:
