CNNs 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. Im an anchor on CNN. Fredo is from The Godfather.
They use it as an Italian aspersion. Any of you Italian? he continued. Its an insult to your f****** people. Its like the N-word for us.
They went back and forth, and at one point Cuomo said, Ill f****** ruin your shit. Ill 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.

I guess Fredo got his nickname for life.
If you research the Cuomo family, they use the Italian card excessively.
LOL, and then Fredo starting moving his hands around like Beto and the other friend told him he had better be careful, lol.
Start calling him "Noodles." That should really get his goat.
Guys I have a feeling Chris Fake News Fredo Cuomo is going to stick. #FakeNewsFredo https://t.co/1AaFQQAOxH— Donald Trump Jr. (@DonaldJTrumpJr) August 13, 2019
No I got it, the guy outsmarted Fredo, made him look dumb, which is priceless.
Perfect
No, its the word that rhymes with Runt."
A little help here? People bad-mouthing female sports enthusiasts? ;-)
“Fredo” is an aspersion to Italians? Not the way I ever heard it. It’s saying someone is the least capable, talented, and worthy of the brothers, or the group. Like hoe the Packers had an awesome player named Clay Matthews and the Eagles signed his brother Casey because “bloodlines” and he stunk on ice, many of us called him Fredo Matthews.
And yeah, Chris should be called Fredo wherever he goes.
The name Fredo is not an ethnic slur. It means the weakest runt of the family. And Cuomo knows that. He’s just too ashamed to admit it because he knows it’s true.
Bob Grant was onto them ...
Sorry Fredo...the Italian Race Card doesn’t work anymore.
The old man lost to a total unknown, people got real tired of him.
Sfacim and Cazzo work much better
Id like to see Fredo interview Tony Cirico (Pauli Walnuts from the Sopranos).
That would be funny ..
This whole thing, unless there is more to it, is a non event.
Jesus, a few folks puffing their chests at a bar... Stop the presses.
I am no fan of Cuomo.. but this is about as newsworthy as, homeless man pisses on sidewalk.
Wonder when somebody’s gonna take him fishing?
I had to straighten him out. He was banging cocktail waitresses two at a time.
based on this childish profanity laced breakdown, I'd say he took himself fishing.
