CNN’s Chris Cuomo explodes in profanity-laden rant over his nickname, threatens violence
American Thinker ^ | 08/13/2019 | Thomas Lifson

Obviously, the stranger who called Chris Cuomo “Fredo” touched a very sensitive nerve in the anchor for the third-rated cable news operation. As the son and brother of 2 governors of New York, Chris may feel himself an underachiever, perhaps occupying his position of prominence solely on the basis of his family ties. That could explain the vehemence, verbal thuggery, and victimology of the unhinged rant that followed.

In case you are not able to listen to the vile language where you are reading this, here are some narrated excerpts, courtesy of the Washington Examiner:

_________________________________________________

"Punk-ass b--ches on the right call me Fredo," Cuomo says, and goes on to explain why he finds that name offensive.

"Fredo was from The Godfather," Cuomo said. "He was a weak brother. And they use it as an Italian aspersion. Are any of you Italian? Are you Italian? It's a f--king insult to your people. It's an insult to your f--king people." He then claimed that "Fredo" is the N-word to Italians. "Is that a cool f--king thing?"

The other man in the video then mockingly tells Cuomo that he is "a much more reasonable guy in person than you seem to be on television," to which Cuomo responds, "If you want to play, we'll f--king play."

After further back-and-forth, Cuomo said, "You're gonna have a f--king problem. It's a little different on TV. Don't f--king insult me like that. You called me Fredo, like I call you 'punk b--ch.'"

Taking off his glasses, the other man says, "I don't have a problem, man," but then Cuomo reiterates that he is going to, and then threatens to "ruin your sh-t" and "f--king throw you down these stairs _________________________________________________

Cuomo acted and talked that way in front of his 9 year old daughter instead of just walking away with his family????

We should give Sean a nickname. I vote for “TicTok”.

“Buckle up.”
“Unpeeling (sic) the onion.”

So many, so little time - for a Hannity guest to get a word in...

The story is that the guy listens to Rush Limbaugh, who calls Chrissie "Fredo" all day long.

Fredo is a whiny baby Front Hole who needs to STFU with the sissy threats.

In and around Chicagoland, given the opportunity, the shirt comes off before the fur flys.

A shirt becomes a handhold for your opponent.
So I’m told.

The other man ate his lunch, he allowed Fredo to walk right into sh*t and Cuomo illustrated perfectly why he is called Fredo, don’t forget, he deserves respect, he’s an anchor, you know, on CNN. He’s Smat.

Sorry, someone was acting like that to me in front of my kids, they would see the jackass laid out.

You don’t go around heckling folks and then act like they are the problem when they react to your behavior.

Take your blame the victim nonsense over to DU.

Just because the person being harassed isn’t someone you agree with doesn’t make it right. Nothing different here than when someone on the right is getting harassed for eating in a restaurant. Same exact crap.

Its WRONG, on all levels.

So sick of this garbage. Honestly, as much as I personally dislike Cuomo, had I been there, I would have laid the jackass out. This nonsense has to end.

Sounds like Fredo has been watching too many Diniro movies. He thinks he’s a wise guy.

Guy should have said “how was I to know you were so sensitive, everyone calls you Fredo, everyone”

Fredo should of just walked away or smiled, thank the guy and move on. Lefties can dish it out, but can’t take it.

Exactly

Gee now that CNN has been put on notice of Chris’ anger issues, I would hate for some employee’s lawyer to file suit over Chris’ rage at fellow employees.....

I don’t think Cuomo’s sneakers are laced all the way up.

Exhibiting grace under pressure is clearly not in Fredo’s wheelhouse.

Far as I’m concerned, Cuomo should have decked the jackass and been done with it.

No problem with your comment, but do you give Trump same liberty to do likewise against Fredo when he’s called a Nazi, racist, white supremacist?
