Obviously, the stranger who called Chris Cuomo “Fredo” touched a very sensitive nerve in the anchor for the third-rated cable news operation. As the son and brother of 2 governors of New York, Chris may feel himself an underachiever, perhaps occupying his position of prominence solely on the basis of his family ties. That could explain the vehemence, verbal thuggery, and victimology of the unhinged rant that followed. (snip) CNN rushed to defend their anchor, heedless of the threat of violence and impolite language:

OMG. I saw it. This is the action of the mental deranged. If I was this man, I would take the video to the police and file charges. Cuomo should be removed from TV immediately!

If Cuomo was not "Fredo" before, he is forever "Fredo" now. This incident fixes it.

He wouldn't be on TV if his last name was Smith or Jones. Like Hunter Biden, Chelsea Clinton, and Meghan McCain, his "success" is entirely due to his last name.

Cuomo is a joke, but the real scum are the Donny Deutche's and the rest of the Morning Joe crowd......they are like a woman scorned (and they were) and is is almost fun to watch Donny, off camera, in his muscle shirt eating in ultra expensive Manhattan bistros, or Joe's pomaded pompadour get higher and higher.......talk about narcissism.

Plus does anyone remember his mother proclaiming that there would be blood in the streets if Mario was not re-elected?

What fun! Be sure to watch Tucker Carlson's takedown of the whole rotten admissions scam.

It seems that being called Fredo is worse than being called a Nazi. Anything for attention....

What thin skin! I grew up in an Italian neighborhood in Cleveland and ''Dago'' and ''Wap'' were spurs. ''Fredo'' is suppose to be funny.

I hope the FBI and other law enforcement departments have Fredo on a watch list. He’s pretty close to going over the edge. I hope he doesn’t have access to firearms or knives.

He can forget going into an honorable career as a police officer. He could never pass a psychological exam. Good thing fake news CNN sells well to morons. Racist term indeed!

I think Rush originally tagged him with the Fredo nickname. If this doesn't red flag him for gun ownership or possibly the no fly list, nothing will. I hope someday i see him at CNN in Atlanta so I can scream Fredo at him.

Cuomo is simply displaying the kind of behavior he learned from his father, Mario.
A friend from graduate school worked for Mario, in a high ranking position in NYS government, and talked about how Mario would pick fights, even when there was no reason to do so. (In other words, Mario, like most bullies, enjoyed the conflict because it boosted his self esteem.)

Someone check his yearbook. I bet 'Fredo' is listed as his nickname, even back then.

Isn't there at least one African American willing to point out to this newsreader that "Fredo" is not the same as the N-word?

You don't get to pick your own nickname. I'm sure Chris would love to be known as Prince Cuomo, second in line to the Cuomo throne, formally ruled by King Mario, but it just doesn't work that way.

At least the real Fredo on Godfather knew he really was DUMB!

Chris "Don't you know who I am?" Cuomo is only where he is because of who his relatives are. As a not talent thin skinned hack on CNN, he should be able to withstand comments he does not like. However, as he is really a spoiled talentless brat, he has a temper tantrum whenever something threatens his distorted liberal view of the world.

Hey Fredo, ask black people about that comparison. Get-out-ahere! you privileged, elitist, dumb, underachieving, lying, evil, rotten, duplicitous, sniveling, vulgar snob. Is that racist enough for you?

I’ve always thought that calling someone Fredo meant that not only were they stupid, but they were weak as well. Because Fredo was the weak link in the Corleone family. It certainly applies to Cuomo. I think that it’s also the reason that Kurt Schlichter calls RINO’s and “conservative” pundits like George Will “Fredocons”.

Hey cuomo, you are who you are, Fredo, the less than intelligent son of a horrible father!
