![Carl stirred controversy in 2020 and again in 2025 over incendiary social media posts.[1][2][14] He expressed sympathy for the January 6th rioters, describing them as "political prisoners" and saying they had it worse than Black Americans in the Jim Crow South.[14] He called for the death penalty for American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten.[14] In 2021, he complained about the "total absence" of White Protestants in the Biden administration.[14] He criticized the addition of Juneteenth as a federal holiday, saying, "If you’re a white person celebrating Juneteenth, you’ve already surrendered".[14] Carl has also downplayed The Holocaust and called for the "Jewish question" to be addressed.[15][16]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:kfaxgen4pxdnmtho7tj4tijr/bafkreihfjnamllxtosie64bj543nexegwrxokmoxwgjzsak3rcnu4nrtv4@jpeg)

Best read (if at all) after refreshing one's recollection about the rants in his interview with Isaac Chotiner www.newyorker.com/news/q-and-a...
![Q: You wrote last week, “In the United States, if the total death toll increases at about the same rate, the current 67 deaths should translate into about 500 deaths at the end.” We are currently at eight hundred deaths—over eight hundred deaths. [This was true when we spoke; the number is now over two thousand.]
A: First of all, let me just say I wrote an amendment to that, the thing I regret most in that whole paper. But I was not so much interested in explaining why my number was right. I was interested in explaining why the other projections were wrong.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:kfaxgen4pxdnmtho7tj4tijr/bafkreifbfwxns7onmah7cemgwdhmwpuv3canhd3wwo65e7kg55o2vbpfsy@jpeg)

Q: Will you unequivocally condemn Islamophobic comments against @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social now?
Cuomo: Sure, I condemn everything, all lives matter. By the way diversity also can be a weakness

Q: Why didn't you have a "John McCain moment" in response to the interviewer's Islamophobic comments about @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social ?
Cuomo: If it had been a supporter I would have done what McCain did, but obviously since it was a *radio commentator* I laughed along and joined in the fun, duh
