Just another stuck up commentator that got a little too full of himself. At least Oreilly and Olbermann did it on camera when they raged over work related problems. Cuom's super sensitive about negatively stereotyped italian Americans from " The Godfather" and yet went full on Joe Pesci from " Goodfellas" or "Casino".
Hey, come into the garage with us Chris, the CNN execs want to initiate you into their inner circle.

I suspect it has more to do with embarrassment as other commentators on CNN have openly mocked others, calling them Fredo and his fragile ego couldn’t handle the dis.

That's nothing you should have seen Anderson Cooper when someone called him Gollum, and Do, Lemon hates being called Uncle Tom.

Obviously from now on everuone will be calling Chris Cuomo Fredo in order to get to him, which is why if he had any sense he would have just ignored it in the first place.

Oh, well, come on people.
What an awful pile-on here and everywhere else.
He is not Epstein, for Pete's sake.
Just a host who lost it, and needs a two week break and to replace his energy pills with more suitable brand.

Then don't buy it? I won't be since I despise both sides but this is the kind of thing that makes me laugh at the thin skin of people on the left. Its almost as pathetic as calling McConnell Moscow Mitch....

I agree.

EDIT: Both major parties exhibit think skin on a regular basis. Easy way to get the base excited, outraged, etc.

I don't think that folks are being sensitive -- I think the intent of this thread -- and OP correct me if I'm wrong -- is the President himself being this ridiculous.

We haven't heard Pelosi call Mitch McConnell -- Moscow Mitch - it is something that online pundits, etc...have been saying.

To have the PResident of the USA endorse this kind of pettiness is concerning to me.

He's the PRESIDENT - -not some social media hype guy.
