How was "Fredo" confronted? I'd heard the guy just wanted to take a picture with him (and really thought his name was Fredo).
That's what Rush Limbaugh said on his show today (8/13/19). He said the guy had heard Rush call Cuomo "Fredo" many times on his show, and he really thought that was Cuomo's name. He just wanted to take a celeb-selfie with Cuomo, and said something like "Hey Fredo", to ask him if he could take his picture. That set Cuomo off on his bizarre, obscene, rant, identifying him as a serious candidate for heavy-duty anger-management counseling, red-flagging (if anybody ever needs it), and possibly immediate dismissal from his job.
Hannity is going off the deep end on his shows about this. He is siding with the foul-mouthed lunatic Fredo, over the innocent man who wanted to take a picture, and in doing that, Hannity is in strong opposition to Trump, Limbaugh, Mark Levin, and many others on the matter (including me).
(I haven't been able to listen to Hannity's shows for very long lately, with all his rude interruptions, and some of his whacky takes on certain issues, like this one.)
