| Subject: Funny: CNN's Chris Cuomo gets into a shouting match with a man who called him 'Fredo' Tue Aug 13, 2019 1:35 am | |
| A verbal confrontation between CNN host Chris Cuomo and an alleged heckler was filmed and shared across right-wing circles on Monday. The video was uploaded to YouTube by a right-wing vlogger and shows Cuomo calling an alleged heckler a “punk,” after he called him “Fredo.” The right-wing vlogger’s YouTube channel, which includes numerous videos of violent confrontations with sensational headlines, almost exclusively depicts Democrats in a negative light.
Cuomo, who is of Italian heritage, characterised the name as an “aspersion” and said it was a disparaging term for people of Italian descent. The term is in reference to Fredo Corleone, a character who betrays one of the leading characters in the “Godfather” movie series.
“It’s a f—— insult to your people,” Cuomo said. “It’s like the ‘N-word’ for us.”
“Don’t f—— insult me like that,” Cuomo later added.
The man responding to Cuomo claimed he “thought it was your name.”
