Chris Cuomo seen in video of a heated exchange with a man he accused of calling him 'Fredo' — a term the CNN anchor said was a slur for Italians.
Chris Cuomo, the CNN anchor, has been filmed in a heated exchange with a man he accused of calling him"Fredo" — a term Cuomo said was a slur for Italians.
“Punk-ass bitches from the right call me Fredo," said Cuomo in a video that surfaced on a right-wing social media account on Monday evening."My name is Chris Cuomo. I’m an anchor on CNN. Fredo is from 'The Godfather.' He was a weak brother. And they’re using it as an Italian aspersion.” “It’s like the n-word for us,” Cuomo went on to say in the clip that was uploaded to a right-wing YouTube channel called"That's the Point with Brandon." On Tuesday morning, the account said in posts on Instagram and Twitter that the video was taken down from YouTube, posting a screen shot of a notice that it violated the site's guidelines, without providing more details.
The man talking with Cuomo responded that he thought Fredo was his name. Later in the exchange, Cuomo told the man he would “throw you down these stairs.”NBC News reached out to the social media account to request an interview with the person who took the video, but was told that “the source of the video prefers to remain anonymous.” The account said the video was taken on Sunday in Shelter Island, New York.
No reason to use bigoted references to be critical. I can be wrong, stupid - lots of pejorative designations. But I take that as an Italian slur, because it is - and that makes you a bigoted fool. Here is a rule: don’t be a bigot. Try to follow it.
