AWKWARD: Chris Cuomo calls himself ‘Fredo’ in radio interview – and more!

You probably have seen the clip of CNN personality Chris Cuomo threatening to throw people down the stairs for calling him Fredo, the iconic character from “The Godfather.”

Here were some of his greatest hits in his tirade against the hecklers:

– “You’re going to have a big f***ing problem,”
– “I’ll f***ing ruin your shit.”
– “I’ll f***ing throw you down these stairs like a f***ing punk.”
– “I’ll f***ing wreck your s***.”

What a pleasant person.

But what takes the cake is his claim that “Fredo” is comparable to the N-word.

Uh huh.

If that is the case then he should have quit the Counterfeit News Network a long time ago.

Here is Jake Tapper using Fredo in a comedy segment:

Well, this is awkward…. CNN’s @jaketapper referred to @DonaldJTrumpJr as #Fredo in a December 2018 comedy segment. Why didn’t @ChrisCuomo storm the set and threaten to throw Tapper down the stairs? pic.twitter.com/T0gJjMxBQO

What about Ana Navarro speaking directly to Cuomo using that term?

Does CNN’s head of PR still think “Fredo” is an ethnic slur after watching this? Because if it’s the N word for Italians like @ChrisCuomo says, I don’t understand why Chris seems so at ease with someone saying it here. An excuse just as fake as his news. #FredoCuomo https://t.co/8G8yuY80CK pic.twitter.com/1gwVyDVCob

The Washington Free Beacon also put together a superb supercuts clip of all the times CNN used it in a derogatory way:

And then here is the coup de grace, courtesy of The New York Post:

CNN anchor Chris Cuomo, who was captured on a viral video getting into a profanity-laced exchange with a person who called him “Fredo,” once referred to himself as the hapless “The Godfather” character in a radio interview.

Cuomo was interviewed by Curtis Sliwa on his AM 970 radio show in January 2010 about whether his brother Andrew might seek the Democratic nomination for governor.

Sliwa said he dubbed the Cuomo family “la Cuomo Nostra.”

“There is a group of people — politicos — who always hint they might run, but not necessarily plunge all the way, and they are members of la Cuomo.”

“Who am I, then, Fredo?” Cuomo asked in response.

“Yes, exactly,” Sliwa said. “So you better be careful that your brother Andrew doesn’t kiss you on both cheeks and then all of a sudden they take you out on the middle of the lake and where’s Chris?”

“He kisses me plenty because he’s a great big brother,” Cuomo said.

Ouch.
