In today’s times many that work in TV news get called a lot of names when they are out in public.

When you are in the public eye, it happens and most people just stay professional and move on.

A man walked up to CNN's Chris Cuomo and called him "Fredo” and Cuomo stayed calm and professional.

We’re kidding….he totally lost his shit.

Let’s go to the video:

Footage sent in by a TTP fan. A fan of news went to ask Chris Cuomo for a photo, mind you the man who asked him DID NOT know his real name and knows of him only through The RUSH LIMBUAGH SHOW and on that show Rush repeatedly calls him "FREDO" so the man legitimately thought his name was FREDO.

Look, Cuomo has a right to stand up for himself and we don’t fault him for that. But, by swearing and getting really nasty, you can now bet people now know that by calling him "Fredo,” it gets under his skin. In other words he showed his opponents his weakness and that is never a good thing.

BTW it is here that we should point out that being called character from a movie is not the same as being called the N-word, like Cuomo says.

Sorry Chris, it’s just not.
