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 _________________________________________________

Wonder if Cuomo ever orders “Chicken Al Fredo” when he’s dining out?

I heard Rush talking about this and just watched it. Freaking hilarious! The best was when the guy told Fredo that he was more reasonable in person than on tv.

No, you are just another pathetic idiot, who thinks as long as the wrong thing is being done to someone I disagree with its okay... Tired of this nonsense.

If something is wrong its wrong, there is no difference between what this jackass did and when the left jackasses attack someone conservative while trying to have dinner... SAME EXACT BEHAVIOR and its inexcusable regardless of WHO is doing it, and WHO is the person its being done to.

Even Sean Hannity doesn’t agree with you..

“Sean Hannity

@ChrisCuomo

He’s out with his 9 year old daughter, and his wife, and this guy is being a jackass in front of his family.

Imho Chris Cuomo has zero to apologize for. He deserves the apology.”

Hannity tweeted support for Fredo...is he auditioning for CNN?

Cuomo used the F word in front of his nine year kid and out in public in front of everybody else.

Cuomo threatened violence.

Cuomo has a lot to apologize for and now so does Hannity.

If he showed up when Trump was having dinner with his family and kept screaming things at him, sure Trump can deck him as well.

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?

I doubt Hannity used the F word in front of his kids and out in public. I doubt Hannity threatened a heckler with violence.

And if he did, he should apologize.

Sorry, but this guy baiting him when he’s out with his Family?

Sorry, but no. Cuomo and his guests "bait" whites and conservatives, often. Do we respond with violent threats.

Of course not.

“That identifies him to me now- Fredo.”

Caught a few minutes of AJones a few minutes ago, and they were saying that’s his name for all time now.

If SNL hadn’t sold us out, they’d be making a killing off this scene.

Fortunately, yours is a minority opinion here.

Fredo’s daughter’s probably heard it all before by now, so his language is ok, right?

FAR too late to play nice guy to our domestic enemies.

The other Fredos look like Fredas. What kind of a bar was this?

I bet Chris Cuomo hasn’t said that one for awhile. He may need it soon. He’s becoming a liability to Andrew and others.

I didn’t see his family at the bar. And the “jackass” could have a Black Belt in Karate, for all you know.

If CNN had any decency or dignity, Fredo would at least be suspended.
