I typed in fredo on the google and guess who’s picture pops up more than the real fredo lord god if you do exist please let me one day be within earshot of Chris fredo cuomo.
Well well eating crow now:
New York (CNN Business)CNN anchor Chris Cuomo apologized Tuesday morning for a heated altercation he had with an unidentified person, which was captured in video released online Monday night.
"Appreciate all the support but - truth is I should be better than the guys baiting me," Cuomo tweeted. "This happens all the time these days. Often in front of my family. But there is a lesson: no need to add to the ugliness; I should be better than what I oppose."
In a profanity-laced video, posted online Monday night by a YouTube channel called "THAT'S THE POINT with Brandon," an animated Cuomo was seen clashing with an unidentified person who appeared to have called him "Fredo."
"Fredo" is a reference from "The Godfather" used to describe the least successful sibling in the movie's Mafia family.
Cuomo compared the terminology to the n-word for Italians and asked, "Is that a cool f***ing thing?"
Needling Cuomo more, the person responded, "You're a much more reasonable guy in person than you seem to be on television." The person then claimed that he didn't want a problem.
"You called me Fredo," Cuomo responded. "It's like I called you a punk b***h. You like that?"
The altercation continued to heat up.
Cuomo warned the person that he was going to have a "f***ing problem."
An unidentified person shouted, "What are you going to do about it?"
Cuomo responded, "I'll f***ing ruin your s**t. I'll f***ing throw you down these stairs like a f***ing punk."
Honest question for the local Italians:
Is “Fredo” really that bad in your quaint “community?” Is it as bad as the n-word?
Ive never heard "Fredo" used as a pejorative for Italian Americans until this Cuomo debacle though Im only half Italian and grew up in NH. Maybe it's a thing for the douchy, hundred percenters that live on long island.
Like at school, when someone hated a nickname,.,..........Fredo Fredo Fredo Fredo !
I’m not a fan of red flags but I chuckled at this^^^^
I never even heard the word before this.I’ve been interested in this all morning, asking everyone Italian I can think of (four so far, lol).
Most agree that “Fredo” is insulting. All of them think it’s nowhere near as bad as the n-word.
