As many of you already know, CNN’s Chris Cuomo erupted at a man who apparently called him “Fredo,” in a video that went viral Monday night. The encounter between Cuomo and the man happened at a Shelter Island bar on Sunday.
“Punk-ass bitches from the right call me Fredo,” Cuomo told the man. “My name is Chris Cuomo. I’m an anchor on CNN. Fredo is from The Godfather. They use it as an Italian aspersion. Any of you Italian?” he continued. “It’s an insult to your f****** people. It’s like the N-word for us.”
They went back and forth, and at one point Cuomo said, “I’ll f****** ruin your shit. I’ll f****** throw you down these stairs like a f******* punk.”
WMAL Radio's Chris Plante first coined the term "Fredo Cuomo" for Chris Cuomo -- not because of his Italian heritage, but because of the fact that he's the stupid one of the family. Later on, Rush Limbaugh borrowed the term and then it went national.
WMAL Ping List!
Wonder how many times Cuomo and his buddies saw the Godfather.
Chris is smart, not like everybody says, like dumb. He’s smart and he wants respect.
Now, everybody’s talking about it. Way to go, Fredo!
Award winning journalist, I am making quotation marks with my fingers.
For those who have never listened, Chris is hilarious!
OK folks, anyone who spots him should point and yell out “LOOK, IT’S FREDO”.
They love their colons!
Cuomo said, “I’ll f****** ruin your shit. I’ll f****** throw you down these stairs like a f******* punk.”
We call this:
Making Criminal Terrorist Threats, and he should be ARRESTED, Any and all firearms confiscated and put on a Watch list, as well as the No-Fly list.
I never heard of him called Fredo before.
Now I will forever think of his name as Fredo.
Thanks Chris Fredo Cuomo, you are smart.
“I’M A DONKEY ON THE EDGE!”*
He does seem to be wound rather tightly these days.
*shreck reference
“Fredo” is not an Italian slur. It refers to the intellectual runt of the litter, which describes CC perfectly.
“It refers to the intellectual runt of the litter”
Perfect description!
Well....he’s ”Fredo” forever now.
Funniest host. Rapier wit. BEST bumper music thanks to Mike Pierce and Chris is slaughtering the Cuomos today. His Megillah Gorilla bit for Andrew Cuomo is the best!
Air quotes. :-)
Another perfect Twitter troll by Trump.
Would Chris Cuomo be given a Red Flag for his recent rant? Filthy language and a total loss of control. He shouldn’t be allowed to have any weapon. He’s nuts!
