That’s what guided me.”Despite his termination from the popular news organization, Cuomo said he does not feel like he is a victim of cancel culture, saying “I don’t feel sorry for myself; I’m certainly not a victim.”The interview comes a week after Cuomo launched a podcast titled “The Chris Cuomo Project” after teasing a comeback.
