Isn’t Fredo pretty much like Beto?

“WHEN will the MSM stop LYING?”

When they go out of business. Maybe.

This article hero worships Fredo. It really only quotes him and makes it seem like he’s such a bad-ass that he completely shut down a heckler by talking tough. I mean really, how many of you would let Fredo step to you like that and you would just cower and hide?

Fredo has nothing to do with being Italian. Rush coined the moniker in reference to a putz worthless brother who owes his place in life to his ruthless powerful brother. Rush must be beaming on hearing of this confrontation.

Sorry Chris, but your name is gender neutral, and that chip on your shoulder is bigger than your head.

Fredo is at least a male name.

Right, Rush is working the “loser sibling” angle with the name. Cuomo pretends he’s offended by its being an ethnic slur but really it’s the loser sibling thing that has stung him.

Not a Fredo? He certainly sounds like one.

The insult isn't particularly Italian, although Fredo was in a fictional Italian family. It's more of a post-turtle insult--that he's prominent because of his father and brother. And that's why its a real insult and triggered him.

t is a racist slur...if you happen to be Mafioso.

I think the movie character, rather than race, is behind the name. As Tom Hagen pointed out ("He's as much a father to me as you or Mike", race had little to nothing to do with it. If it were ethnicity, "Sicilian" would be the logical substitute. "Fredo" is more like "Judas" where the actions overshadow the ethnicity.

I don’t remember reading of any Italians on the slave plantations..... so how could Chris equate “Fredo” to the N word? Isn’t that racist?

Cuomo is a Fredo-cat. Fredo-cat. Fredo-cat.

The guy was wrong about one thing, saying he’s much more reasonable in person than on TV. Cuomo can across as a punk, hiding behind the false narrative that Fredo has anything to do with Italians. It’s a pseudonym for a weak dumb loser person who think’s he’s smart.

Cuomo should be asked to take time off, he’s imbalanced and needs therapy. I guess that whole Fredo thing is really eating him alive.

I got in trouble once for using inscrutable. As if Asians are totally scrutable.

CNN’s defense of Cuomo’s out of control meltdown baseless.

"Fredo" has ZERO to do with ethnicity and everything to do with "LOSER". It's a synonym for total loser - for a person who is dumb as a rock and believes he's "smart" but everyone else knows he's a loser, but he doesn't see it.

I’m Italian and I call BS on Cuomo’s feigned indignance.

I'm 1/2 Sicilian and Cuomo is an embarrassment to Italians.

******************************************************

That was some priceless sarcasm from the provocateur that flew right over your head. That guy taunting him was fantastic and I’m guessing by his composure and mannerisms would have hurt Cuomo badly and quickly if Fredo chose to swing at him rather than just scream like a child.
