CNN’s Chris Cuomo Filmed Erupting at Heckler Who Called Him ‘Fredo’: ‘I’ll [bleeping] Ruin Your [ble
Mediaite ^

CNN’s Chris Cuomo erupted at a man who apparently called him “Fredo,” in a video that went viral Monday night.

The encounter between Cuomo and the man happened at a Shelter Island bar on Sunday.

“Punk-ass bitches from the right call me Fredo,” Cuomo told the man. “My name is Chris Cuomo. I’m an anchor on CNN. Fredo is from The Godfather.”

“They use it as an Italian aspersion. Any of you Italian?” he continued. “It’s an insult to your f****** people. It’s like the N-word for us.”

They went back and forth, and at one point Cuomo said, “I’ll f****** ruin your shit. I’ll f****** throw you down these stairs like a f******* punk.”

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.”

The guy just cemented his identity as Fredo.

If the shoe fits. In this case, it fits perfectly.

Perfection!

And he knows it.

And he absolutely cannot stand it.

So help me, if I ever see him, he will be named, and he can gorilla rage on me all he wants.

Clearly he can't stand the truth, just look at his infantile overboard profanity laced reaction. He also cemented his place in journalism history, right below Fredo.

Chris Plante had been referring to "Chris Cuomo, the Fredo of the Cuomo organized crime family" for years and years even before he got syndicated in 2016. Since Rush started using it, he more or less had to give it up to the guy with the bigger megaphone, but it did lead to Fredo getting a new theme song on his show.

If she was in the bar with this drunk imbecile, he should be arrested.

“Punk-ass bitches from the right call me Fredo.”

Yes!

"Fredo is from The Godfather.”

Yes! That's the point!

"I’m an anchor on CNN."

Yes! That proves the point.

When the last viewer finally abandons CNN, maybe Chris could go out to Las Vegas and learn the casino business.

Maybe Fredo needs to chill a bit and refresh his brain by curling a few 3 pound dumbbells.

I thought that WAP, DAGO, SPIC, and a few other choice words were bad that my dad’s side were called. Those were the equal to the N word. Each Ethnic group had a bunch of words that they were called. Dad didn’t look like an Itialian, didn’t speak it, his dad made sure when they immigrated every one learned English and embraced America. Dad fought in WW 2 under Mac Arthur 5 major battles as Airborne.

Okay, so it traces back to Chris Plante then. My local station had his show for a while. Super sharp guy.

CNN and Fredo Cuomo didn’t object when one of Cuomo’s guests used the very same “ethnic slur” on Trump Jr. Ya got some ‘splainin to do, CNN.

Yup. Cuomo just sat there with his usual stupid look on his face when one of his guests used that very same name to describe Don Trump Jr.

What a drama queen.

“Start calling him ‘Noodles.’ That should really get his goat.”

I could do that, but I wouldn’t want to insult my cat, “Noodles”.
