CNN’s Chris Cuomo Becomes unhinged after man calls him ‘Fredo’, “I’ll f***ing throw you down these stairs like a f***ing punk. … Take a swing, c’mon boy.” As the man argues back and others crowd around them, Cuomo continues, “You want to call me sh*t, call me sh*t then. I’m f***ing right here. I’ll f***ing wreck your sh*t. You didn’t know what you were doing when you called me Fredo?”
The term comes from “The Godfather,” where it’s the nickname of Frederico Corleone, the least successful sibling in the mafia family. Cuomo, whose brother is New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, equated the reference to the N-word for black people.
“Only punk **s bitches from the right call me Fredo,” Cuomo said. “Fredo is from ‘The Godfather.’ He was a weak brother. And they use it as an Italian aspersion. Any of you Italian? It’s a f***ing insult to the people. … It’s like the N-word for us.”
WOW!

President Trump responded to the video on Twitter Tuesday. “I thought Chris was Fredo also. The truth hurts. Totally lost it! Low ratings CNN,” he wrote.

Would Chris Cuomo be given a Red Flag for his recent rant? Filthy language and a total loss of control. He shouldn’t be allowed to have any weapon. He’s nuts!

Cuomo acknowledged he could have handled the situation better:
Appreciate all the support but – truth is I should be better than the guys baiting me. This happens all the time these days. Often in front of my family. But there is a lesson: no need to add to the ugliness; I should be better than what I oppose.
