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.

"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 _________________________________________________

He just guaranteed that nickname will forever stick. I’d love it if Trump picked it up this week.
STFU Hannity
So wop, greaseball or dago are ok? Not Fredo though.
Reminds me of Arte Johnson....you can call me Ray, etc; ‘but you doesn’t have to call me “Jonson”.’
Rush should be a hoot today! He’s been calling Cuomo “Fredo” for years..
Fredo Cuomo
But calling Trump a Nazi is just fine. Right Fredo?
Fredo, Fredo, Fredo!
We should give Sean a nickname. I vote for “TicTok”.
“Hail Mary full of grace”
.... THEN BOOM !!
So sick of Hannity.
Every third word on his program is “dossier” and every fourth word is “FISA warrants”. Just stop it!
A one-trick pony. And then there’s the occasional “tick tick, tick tock” teasers that lead to absolutely nothing.
Ok, Finocchio, we’ll stop calling you, “Fredo”.
That identifies him to me now- Fredo.
Somebody should wash Fredo's mouth out with a knuckle sammich.
Hannity is right, althought Cuomo was being an even bigger ass.
The guy confronting him was a wimp who backed down and acted weak when Cuomo responded. He should be embarrassed that this clip is going around because it makes him look just as bad...weak.
Cuomo acts like an arrogant bastard but I wonder how many times some lib had got in Hannity’s face in public and he responded in a similar way?
So funny. C.Cuomo should just have kept his mouth shut but he couldn’t, could he? Too funny.
I’m Italian and Cuomo just made himself even more of a “Fredo”.
Well, Chris Cuomo IS something of an “underachiever”. Most of his “charm” lies in his state of perpetual outrage.
Fredo Corleone does seem to be an apt comparison.
Sorry, but this guy baiting him when he’s out with his Family?
I am no fan of Cuomo at all, but honestly, this isn’t news, and frankly the jackass harassing Cuomo is just that a Jackass.
While yes, its fun to see the left fools have to deal with the crap they give the right regularly, its still wrong.
Far as I’m concerned, Cuomo should have decked the jackass and been done with it.
