It didn’t take long. In fact Cuomo already deleted the tweet due to the backlash.
As eager as the media is to jump on anything they can possibly construe to be racism, you would think Chris Cuomo would have known better.

@MattHager51 Exactly! I really question why @ChrisCuomo would choose to post THIS photo. Not cool, Chris. Not cool.

Yeah, making fun of misspelled signs is only appropriate when it happens at a tea party event. Maybe Cuomo didn’t get the memo.
Chris courageously deleted his tweet and bravely sniveled an excuse virtually no one would believe.
Actually meant sign as proof of protest in #Ferguson. Not about spelling. (didn't notice until u guys mentioned. So I am the dumb one)
