CNN says it completely supports anchor Chris Cuomo after he was seen on video threatening to push a man down some stairs during a confrontation after the man apparently called him “Fredo,” in a seeming reference to the “Godfather” movies.

The video appeared Monday on a conservative YouTube channel. Host Brandon Recor told the Washington Post the exchange happened Sunday at a bar in Shelter Island, N.Y., after a man approached Cuomo for a picture. The man made the video.

It doesn’t show the “Fredo” reference but depicts Cuomo’s profanity-laced reaction as he characterizes the comment as an anti-Italian slur. The man says he thought “Fredo” was Cuomo’s name. CNN spokesman Matt Dornic tweeted that Cuomo “defended himself” after being slurred in what Dornic calls “an orchestrated setup.”“I should be better than the guys baiting me,” Cuomo said in a tweet Tuesday. “I should be better than what I oppose.”

The Most Trusted News Source

Impeach him

LOL

Chris Cuomo is a well cultured, well mannered, respectful, unexcitable, non threatening, soft spoken, and peace loving Gentleman representing the unbiased CNN news. Keep watching CNN and Cuomo to uplift and improve your person.

And CNN has a history of calling people Fredo in the past, so they condone it.

GOP hypocrisy. I remember when Gianforte body slammed that journalist for asking a question and they called him a hero.

REALLY ..fake news CNN.. truly the enemy of the people

Funny how they can excuse this behavior. The moral relativism in the media is stunning. cnn you truly suck. It wasn't OK, period.

Sure they do.

Cuomo +1, MAGA Moron 0.

I didn't like his comparing Fredo to the N word. Even in the small fraction of time when Italians faced discrimination in the U.S, the word 'Fredo' was never hurled at them. And let's face it, the second Italians gained acceptance in America, they treated blacks just as badly.

Hysterical

Of course they will defend ChrisCuomo, he cussed a guy out after he was provoked. It's not nearly as bad as how the Covington kids acted by standing there while somebody provoked them. Glad to know cnn FakeNews is backing the right people 🙄🙄🙄🙄

Of course the left supports violence. But, they are in for a huge surprise.

Wow I guess he pick the right employer...God for him!

😂😂😂😂😂😂of course they did his brother is governor

Tough guy Cuomo he will beat you up man! What a FREDO!

Maybe he should not have used that term for himself.

Thin skin for sure....Fredo Its weird he took such offense to that. Most famous people just keep walking or ignore it.

cnn is the fredo of cable news.

Democrats always turn violent and/or incite to violence: too many examples but here's a few Maxine Waters; man that attacked Sen. Paul; shooting at baseball field; woman who said'just stab m*f* in the heart' in front of McConnells house; Elie Mystal, etc. DemocratsAreDangerous

CNN promotes violence now. Great.

Of course they support this punk

No surprise there. But that's not the first time Cuomo (brother to the Father of the Housing Bubble, subprime crisis, and Great Recession) has been called Fredo. Difference is that one time he laughed and had a good time with it. Cuomo is a hot-head biased tool for the D's.

Now he’s this too.

It’s ok to threaten to throw a man down some stairs and antagonize/escalate a fight but its not ok to say the word Fredo lol you can’t make this shit up 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Cuomo is an unhinged talking head . Someone calls him a name and he goes ballistic. Meanwhile , Rand Paul got beaten to a pulp and doesn’t receive a quarter of empathy . So predictable.

He’s says he’s a pro. In this incident he wasn’t. Just proves the guy’s human.

This is CNN
