CNN’s Chris Cuomo Filmed Erupting at Heckler Who Called Him ‘Fredo’: ‘I’ll Fcking Ruin Your Sht’
CNN’s Chris Cuomo erupted at a man in public who apparently called him “Fredo,” in a wild moment caught on video that went viral Monday night.
“Punk-ass bitches from the right call me Fredo,” Cuomo told the man, who claimed he thought the CNN anchor was named Fredo. “My name is Chris Cuomo. I’m an anchor on CNN. Fredo is from The Godfather .”
“They use it as an Italian aspersion. Any of you Italian?” Cuomo continued. “It’s an insult to your fucking people. It’s like the N-word for us.”
They went back and forth, and at one point Cuomo said, “I’ll fucking ruin your shit. I’ll fucking throw you down these stairs like a fucking punk.”
A CNN spokesperson told Mediaite in a statement, “Chris Cuomo defended himself when he was verbally attacked with the use of an ethnic slur in an orchestrated setup. We completely support him.”
Houston Chronicle Ed. Board Calls on Beto O’Rourke to Drop Out and Run for Senate: ‘Come Home … Texas Needs You’

Houston Chronicle has determined that Beto O’Rourke can’t win the 2020 Democratic nomination, but he still might be able to politically serve Texas if he drops out of the race now.
The Chronicle ‘s editorial board released an op-ed on Saturday commending O’Rourke for his actions and statements following the El Paso and Dayton mass shootings. The piece especially approves of O’Rourke’s media blitz against President Donald Trump , describing it as “a human moment” when the former Texas congressman was straight-forward as he pronounced Trump a racist and racial divider.
From the piece:
We aren’t used to seeing candidates act like real people.
Frankly, it’s made us wish O’Rourke would shift gears, and rather than unpause his presidential campaign, we’d like to see him take a new direction.
So Beto, if you’re listening: Come home. Drop out of the race for president and come back to Texas to run for senator. The chances of winning the race you’re in now are vanishingly small. And Texas needs you.
The op-ed goes on to suggest O’Rourke compete against Senator John Cornyn , saying “Trump is no longer rock-solid in Texas. Neither are the Republicans who support him.”
