    No, Fredo said something really stupid a while back during an interview - that was when Rush labeled him. And the fact that he jokingly suggested that the Cuomo family was a crime family with Mario as the Godfather.

      But he brought it up!

      What I saw of the video was him going off about the name - not about being disturbed in public or the person being otherwise obnoxious. Assuming the worst and the guy meant to be insulting, the reaction was way out of proportion to the slight.
      Yes, he was having a profanity-laced rant about being called a name.
      The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

          Is that, perhaps, an offer we can't refuse?

              If I might politely interrupt this movie chatter to get back on topic for just a second....

              For CNN’s Cuomo, it’s now Fredo, forever.


              Great job, Fredo!


              Now, back to the movie chatter....

                    Perhaps he is only partly Fredo, hence the offence.

                        Gotta love capitalism...

                        It was an opportunity the Trump reelection campaign couldn’t refuse. President Trump’s 2020 campaign wasted no time Tuesday in selling “Fredo Unhinged” T-shirts to piggyback on the controversy over CNN anchor Chris Cuomo’s unhinged viral video rant.

                        For $34, Trump supporters can get a T-shirt with unflattering screen grabs of the host from the video where he rages against a man who called the anchor “Fredo.”

                        “CNN’s Chris Cuomo is Fredo!” the Trump campaign shop says of the “limited edition” T-shirt that went live at 3:45 p.m. Tuesday.
