NEWSBUSTERS intros the video:
In a YouTube video released on Monday by “independent media journalist” with the title “That’s the Point with Brandon,” CNN’s Prime Time host Chris Cuomo can be seen threatening to throw a reported “Trump supporter” down some stairs. The incident appeared to be designed to get a rise out of Cuomo, but the CNN host completely blew up at a minor slight.
All told, Cuomo used the “F-word” roughly 25 times.
Before the video started rolling, the unidentified man apparently called Cuomo by the name “Fredo.” The name was a stinging nickname stemming from the disgraced Fredo Corleone character in The Godfather film. Over the years, it’s been a favorite jab at him from people on the right. But according to Cuomo, it was an ethnic slur on par with the “N-word”……
I never knew this was a nickname for Cuomo from “my side.” But now I will use it:
Best Line Eva! “You’re a much more ‘reasonable’ guy in person than you seem to be on television.”

Chris Matthews used the “N-Word”
And for the last instance of Chris Matthews using #Fredo in the past year, he chimed in by wondering if Trump’s concerned about all “these Fredo characters in his family” on August 17 amidst the liberal media infatuation with @Omarosa and her tapes (h/t: Nexis for the search) pic.twitter.com/jimLYcp6gL
