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.

Now that is funny. At least you are more of a pure breed than me. After I did some family geneology research a few years ago, I am not sure if I could really qualify as a WASP. With a mix of English, Scottish, German and Cherokee, I am 100% mutt. However, I was glad to find out that Elvis had the same mix. Too bad I can’t sing like him.
lol
That’s a great mix :)
Cherokee?!? Wow. cool.
Elvis was my first rock idol.
I was born in ‘68, which makes that a little odd and unique :)
He literally said Fredo was the N-word for Italians during his rant.
As a side note, my wife’s brother married a girl who immigrated from Sicily. When their oldest son was about 15, they decided to take a trip to Mexico, neither of them had a passport. When she went to get one, they found out that she had never finished naturalization, wasn’t a citizen! She had 3 sisters, checked them, all were citizens. She had to apply for a green card or something, then got a passport, and just for the record, she voted every election, despite the Dems saying that non-citizens illegally here can’t vote! As a side note, my wife’s other brother is an ICE agent, so his sister in law was technically an illegal alien, married to his brother for 15 or 20 years. You can’t make this stuff up!
That’s a GREAT story!!
And she voted no problem!!
I won’t say whether or not I know a few old Italians who are not citizens still...
Would be Crazy to get deported at 80!!
I’ll never understand those things, when you KNOW you aren’t a citizen still.
Hmmm, maybe Tucker was supposed to take Fredo out fishing?
If fake news CNN had decency or dignity, Fredo would at least be suspended.
Please everyone look to Scalia and alito for much better examples of Americans of Italian descent.

I was going to say... “and also Judge Jeanine Pirro”, but I looked it up and she’s of Lebanese descent. And terrific~
He wants Italian racial slurs in the Godfather? Check this out. He also gets the Germans and the Irish...

It’s gotta be the movie producer :)
Cool. My wife was born in 68 and Elvis is her favorite as well.
