I write to analyze Chris Cuomo, not to defend him.

Was it an innocent mistake or a right-wing provocation that took place last weekend when a man addressed Chris Cuomo as “Fredo” instead of his name? If you didn’t know, the name Fredo isn’t from fettucine alfredo but from The Godfather, the name of the not-so-bright son of mob boss Don Corleone. Yet another name that has slipped into the Italian American identity bag with Guido, Tony, Mario, and Luigi.
