Notice how Cuomo anticipates Novak's counter and shuts it down. You never accuse someone of racism - that would be tantamount to reading someone's mind and knowing their intentions, which weakens your position since they can now come back after you for it (as Novak was about to).
Rather, you always point to the facts. "I'm not saying you're a racist. I'm saying that what you said was racist."

That's how I've always felt about Mario. Novak no match for him.
