Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends)
*WARNING: NSFW* Ok, don’t watch the video below if you are sensitive to the “f” word. – Because the “f” word appears to be about half of CNN host Chris Cuomo’s vocabulary whenever he is not on air. On Sunday, some Trump supporter called him “Fredo” – the nickname Rush Limbaugh hilariously bestowed on the dimmest Cuomo sibling years ago – at a public venue, and Chris decided to go all Sonny Corleone on the guy
Here’s the full and uncensored video – be sure to get all the kids out of the room before you launch it:
Of course, if Tucker Carlson or Sean Hannity or Bret Baier or any other Fox News personality outside of Shep Smith got caught on video behaving like this in public, every fake journalist in our fake news media would be going berserk demanding they be fired and run out of the business, and frankly I’d agree with them. But because this is not just a certified high-profile member of the Democrat activist media establishment who works for the Democrat Party’s main TV propaganda organization, and because he was going after one of those evil, deplorable Trump supporters, well, let’s just say no one at the New York Times or MSNBC is making any such demands.
You might – and it’s a big “might” – see CNN make Cuomo take a week or so off to let the situation cool down, but you won’t see him taken off the air entirely or otherwise suffer any major sanctions, for the simple reason that his program is regularly CNN’s highest-rated prime time show. Not that it’s highly-rated in the grand scheme of things, given that Cuomo and CNN’s entire lineup consistently lags way behind their competition at Fox and MSNBC, but in the context of CNN’s pathetic, mind-numbed, airport-monopoly-based audience, he’s like a TV god.
I’m old enough to remember when CNN was actually a respectable news organization, one that actually had standards and stuff. But that all ended during the Bush Administration. The first Bush Administration.
Incidentally, during the course of his rant, Cuomo claimed that being called “Fredo” is the Italian equivalent of African Americans being called the “n-word.” Very predictably, the peabrains at CNN backed him up on that ridiculous notion:
A CNN spokesperson told Mediaite in a statement, “Chris Cuomo defended himself when he was verbally attacked with the use of an ethnic slur in an orchestrated setup. We completely support him.”
Here is a shot of actual Italians reacting to that idiotic claim:
You just cannot make these liberals up, folks. You really can’t, and honestly, why would you want to?
Let me guess: Was he a former state trooper from Arkansas? – As part of their ongoing “investigation” into the incredibly suspicious alleged “suicide” of Jeffrey Epstein, prison officials told the Associated Press that one of the guards assigned to keep watch over the federal prison system’s highest-profile prisoner was “not a trained correctional officer.” Go figure.
Hey, look, here’s Beto pretending to be a real person or something! – As always happens whenever Irish Bob O’Rourke goes into his regular guy mode, unintentional hilarity ensues. Here he is, making like he’s ever actually had to change a tire in the course of his white-privileged life:

MRO @MichaelOlden4 What does this have to do with anything? This man is in desperate need of help.
69 1:46 PM - Aug 12, 2019 Twitter Ads info and privacy See MRO's other Tweets If Beto O’Rourke were Italian rather than Irish, he’d be more of a Fredo than Fredo Cuomo. Please, someone who actually cares about this guy, do an intervention with him and let him know it’s time to stop this madness and go home. This is just pitiful at this point.
That is all.
His mother is Swedish; maybe we should call him “Lars the Big Dunce” or some other ethnic slur aimed at Scandinavians instead of Fredo.
Ahhh, it was an orchestrated set up, was it? Gee, I wonder who orchestrated it. Oh. Right. Chris Cuomo.
Well, at least folks aren’t talking about Fredo’s bro, the guy who’s gov of the state where Jeffrey Epstein got whacked.
“... Chris Cuomo ... the dimmest Cuomo sibling ...”
Debatable. I used to think so, too, but Andrew is an idiot in his own right. Meanwhile, this whole idea is terribly unfair to the fictional character of Fredo. He was an inept moron, but he was only detrimental to his family’s crime business, not the nation as a whole.
How do they know the guy was a Trump supporter? Oh. Right. He looks like one. Burn him!
CNN appears to have a toxic masculinity problem there.
Oh, yeah. Santini.
Leave it to Hollywood to perpetuate racial stereotypes.
“I’m smart. I can do things”
Guido: A sad pathetic excuse for a male; not necessarily of Italian descent, but most likely; usually native to the New York/New Jersey Tri-State area.
Maybe Fredo got his pejoratives crossed.
Isn’t he the guy who looks like his head is going to explode at any minute?
No one in my all Italian neighborhood and mostly Italian island has ever been called or used the word “Fredo” in a malicious way.
It’s the name of a character in a movie.
We poked fun at one friend who wasn’t the brightest bulb.
Lots of real slurs to use that most under 40 don’t even know anymore.
Just to be clear, is it pronounced freedo or fraydo? Frehdo, maybe?
‘Trump is a white nationalist racist inciting violence’
- Fredo
“Call me Fredo again and i’ll beat your ass”
-also Fredo
”Video removed”...per terms of service, YouTube. If it is that bad, how can CNN allow him to stay in the air?
Beto is definitely the bigger weenie of the two, no contest, and yeah, he is a great example of a guy who is the weak link.
I don’t know about Cuomo. “Fredo” seems more of an insult than an Italian form of the n-word simply because you’d have to know the context of a forgettable character in a popular movie entirely devoted to Italian-Americans and populated by Italian-American actors. Does this mean that these actors did such a horrible job that any part of their performance is now equated as an ethnic slur? No this is insulting because it was the weak brother character in the story. Being called a weak link is insulting no matter what your ancestry is, so no, not the n-word, just an insult.
No … as Rush says he’s Fredo. The weak, stupid one.
Whatever happened to the simpler times? Those Norman Rockwell days where Italians were insulted by “Guinnea, WOP, dego,Mulian, Guido”.........
It appears that cuomo has been using steroids a little too long.Either is that or he’s mentally ill.
By the way YouTube removed tha video so hopefully it can be found elsewhere.
