CNN anchor Chris Cuomo flew into a rage on Sunday when a “fucking punk” called him Fredo, a reference to the idiot Corleone brother in The Godfather.
Cuomo, who is the younger brother of New York governor Andrew Cuomo, heard it a little differently. “It’s an Italian aspersion … It’s an insult to your people. It’s like the N-word to us,” Cuomo says in the video, which was first published by THAT’S THE POINT with Brandon, a right-wing YouTube channel. Host Brandon Recor told the Washington Post that the video was shot in a bar in Shelter Island, New York, and sent to him by a man who said he asked Cuomo for a photo before the anchor’s blowup.

>CNN stood by Cuomo in a statement Monday. “Chris Cuomo defended himself when he was verbally attacked with the use of an ethnic slur in an orchestrated setup,” CNN said in a statement. “We completely support him.”

>>237619>not an ethnic slurWell either its an ethnic slur, or Cuomo realized how much of a bitch he would look like for taking offense at a nonsense insult and decided to promote it as a slur
>>237612Does anyone remember when news hosts had some semblance of gravitas? Fuck, I'm apparently old.
>>237631You are living in a different time.
