Nah.

If Trump could stay this level headed on Twitter all the time, it would prevent a lot of facepalming by his advisors.

If he went off like that, he must really think is the weaker brother....
It makes you wonder if Mario always favored Andrew.

The way Chris Cuomo acts in the video makes the cast of Jersey Shore look like Rhodes Scholars.

I'm 100 percent Italian-American, and I find the whole thing hilarious. "Guido" is the stereotypical name given to cast shade on an Italian, not Fredo. Fredo refers, as others have said above, to a weak and ineffectual person, regardless of ethnicity.

But if Chris Cuomo really is Fredo, maybe he shouldn't accept any invitation to get in a rowboat with one of his brother Andrew's bodyguards for a little fishing trip...

Will Cuomo be arrested for communicating threats? probably not.




How long will it take for for the left to put the term under the catch all umbrella term of "racist" as well.

Man, Fredo sure thought he was acting tough and a "wiseguy" from Staten Island.

The NY Post is really grasping here.

If I asked someone "What am I, chopped liver?" it doesn't mean that I am referring to myself as chopped liver.

Cuomo was interviewed by Curtis Sliwa on his AM 970 radio show in January 2010 about whether his brother Andrew might seek the Democratic nomination for governor.
Sliwa said he dubbed the Cuomo family “la Cuomo Nostra.”

“There is a group of people — politicos — who always hint they might run, but not necessarily plunge all the way, and they are members of la Cuomo.”

“Who am I, then, Fredo?” Cuomo asked in response.

“Yes, exactly,” Sliwa said. “So you better be careful that your brother Andrew doesn’t kiss you on both cheeks and then all of a sudden they take you out on the middle of the lake and where’s Chris?”

“He kisses me plenty because he’s a great big brother,” Cuomo said.

That guy totally set Chris Cuomo up, ready to video tape everything and get attention. I agree, Chris freaked out and seriously overreacted. Possibly he had too much alcohol ?

Immaturity on both sides. The difference is, one is a public figure who should be able to control himself. I also have to laugh at how offended he gets over a name, all the while, tossing the word ***** around casually.
