President Trump mocked CNNs Chris Cuomo on Tuesday in response to a viral video in which the Cuomo Prime Time host threatened a man who apparently had called him "Fredo."
A video of the confrontation, which originally surfaced on the YouTube channel "That's The Point with Brandon and was circulated by Daily Wire reporter Ryan Saavedra, begins with the man telling Cuomo, "I thought that was who you were." The CNN host clearly didnt appreciate the comment and the clip quickly became a trending topic on social media.
Fredo is a reference to Fredo Corleone, the weak and facile brother in the movie The Godfather. The CNN host is the younger brother of Andrew Cuomo, the Democratic governor of New York. The confrontation took place Sunday at a bar on New York's Shelter Island.

me either! One side of my wife’s family is from Palermo, recent enough that some in their late 40’s are immigrants. I also worked in the old Italian area in NE KC and never heard of it.
Man you put yourself in the public light for a living these things are gonna happen.
Gotta have a thicker skin.
He made a Complete fool of himself.
BTW, a REAL old fashioned Italian would have said nothing or knocked the guy out while saying nothing :)
Wow that IS recent.
The fed govt REALLY put restrictions on immigration from some parts of W Europe in the 20s in favor of increased from central America.
BAD trade off.
Heck, my father coming in the mid 20’s was late!
bwahaha!
Ha Ha Ha Mr. High Road Hannity cucked out!
It should now be not Fredo, but A-FRAIDO!!
[Time to take Fredo Fishing on Lake Tahoe.]
“Hail Mary... full of grace...”
“Nothing happens to Fredo while Hillary is still alive.”
Cuomo just made sure his nickname is Fredo for freakin’ ever...he’ll never ever live this one down.
I read in the Breitbart article about it this morning the youtube video had been yanked, so here’s the bitchute...

Trump to Cuomo: Lighten up Fredo.
You are one of the best on FR in my book. My wife is Italian and she cracks up when I tell her stories about my WASP self and my brother calling each other Fredo when we were young.
Wow.
Who’s the spic that sounds like she’s from a bad SNL skit?
Now THAT was a slur :)
Whats funny about this whole thing is its the leftist who want the red flag law and they will be the ones caught up in it the most. They have so much hate and anger it scary. Because we dont have equal justice under the law the public will see how fascism works. The left are not held to account like ordinary citizens. No wonder President Trump said hed look at it. Hes playing them. Show the country what hypocrites the leftist are.
Don’t forget the libs decided that Pocahontas is now a racial slur also.
Thanks man.
And that’s funny. :)
I tease the rest of my family who left staten island for NJ and Westchester and said they try to act more like WASPs now than WOPs :)
It’s a compliment. If it was true.
But they’re WOPs and always will be. At least I’m proud to show it :)
They’re all 2nd generation just like me but they try too act like their ancestors came off the Mayflower :)
Now my NIECES and NEPHEWS, only a few have Italian looks and none could be picked out of a lineup as WOPs.
I could be picked out of a lineup as a WOP in the dark :)
Priceless.
