In August 2019 a video of CNN anchor Chris Cuomo went viral after a member of the public called him "fredo" and he badly handled the situation and threatened violence/ The incident made headlines in several newspapers.
President Donald Trump posted to Twitter about the incident several times:
“It always happens! When a Conservative does even a fraction of what Chris Cuomo did with his lunatic ranting, raving, & cursing, they get destroyed by the Fake News. But when a Liberal Democrat like Chris Cuomo does it, Republicans immediately come to his defense. We never learn!”[1]
Incident
After a man allegedly called him "Fredo" the CNN host was seen on video claiming to fellow Italian-Americans that the insult is comparable to "the N-word."
Fallout
There was no response from the Governor of New York State Andrew Cuomo’s office on “Fredogate” but Chris Cuomo tweeted a response to followers saying “I should be better than the guys baiting me.”[2]
