Chris Cuomo Loses Cool After Being Called 'Fredo'

CBS2's Marcia Kramer has the latest on the profanity-laced tirade caught on camera after Chris Cuomo is called 'Fredo' by a heckler.

[LB__]

That was a complete insult to Fredo Corleone.

[railsplitters]

Calling him fredo is a direct insult about Chris and his personality and low status among his family. it suggests nothing about Italians in general. It’s not an ethnic slur.

[janetairlines]

He just sealed the deal of him being called fredo for the rest of his life

[jamesbowman]

I'm Italian and I'm ok with them calling Cuomo Fredo... especially when he follows up by playing the role.

[frenchvanilla]

An "ethnic slur" 😑 Yeah ok!!! Fredo is basically challenging his manhood, not so much his ethnicity!

[robmangeri]

I’m Italian and anyone seriously offended by that deserves to be called it again. What are you people 2 years old? Grow up.

[SuperMario-jxzp]

“I’m an actor on CNN!”

-Chis Fredo Cuomo

Fredo is not an Italian ethnic Slur and I should know 100% Italian!
Comparing some movie character to calling a Black person the N-word there is no comparison period!

[davidcouncil]

A real "Fredo" would be someone who got a TV news anchor job because his brother is governor of New York
Oh, wait

[giuseppepuccio]

I'm Italian, and when me and my family heard about this we laughed our asses off. To be fair we can't stand the Cuomos and live in New York, but regardless I found it funny.

[InChristalone]

I’m of Italian ancestry and I think it’s freaking hilarious this overly sensitive lefty lost his mind.

[SuperMario-jxzp]

think it's hilarious! He took the bait and THAT tells ME that he IS FREDO! LMAO

[series]

No he basically called him the stupid brother. Nothing to do with Italian

[mrivucu]

Im Italian and I think its hilarious, he's not calling him a gangster he's calling him a loser! I wonder how many people they had to ask to get those answers. Every Italian I know, knows exactly what he was saying. That he was a loser

[beckhaleen]

Is not about his race... is a about his success compare with his brother... jajaja.

[onesojourner]

Ethnic slur!? Please CBS! 😂
Once again, Fredo brings shame to the Cuoma nostra.
Oh, and now you will be called Fredo...forever! 😅

[humanafterall]

Fredo has more class and intellect than Cuomo

[kam]

“It’s like the n-word for us”

Uhh.. No it’s not.

[plutonium]

Hes really brave with 6 body guards around him to hold him back.

[SuperMario-jxzp]

I really hope the next time he walks out to make a big speech somewhere, the whole crowd starts chanting
