  • >> Mark: CNN'S CHRIS CUOMO

  • WENT BALLISTIC AFTER BEING

  • CONFRONTED WHILE HE WAS OUT WITH

  • HIS FAMILY.

  • THE GUY APPARENTLY CALLED HIM

  • FREDO, A REFERENCE FROM THE

  • MOVIE THE GODFATHER.

  • CHECK OUT THIS CONFRONTATION.

  • >> I DO NOT INSULT YOU.

  • DO YOU WANT THAT TO BE HER

  • NICKNAME CUSTOMER >> I DIDN'T

  • CALL YOU THAT.

  • >> YOU CALLED ME FREDO.

  • DON'T BE A LIAR.

  • I WILL BLANK RUIN YOU.

  • >> WELL WHY DON'T YOU DO THAT?

  • >> Mark: CUOMO HAS SINCE

  • RESPONDED AND SAID THAT HE

  • MISSPOKE.

  • BUT HIS INTERPRETATION OF THE

  • WORD FREDO HAS APPARENTLY

  • CHANGED OVER THE YEARS.

  • HE IS OR WHAT HE SAID BACK IN

  • 2010.

  • >> THERE'S A GROUP OF PEOPLE,

  • POLITICOS THAT THEY ALWAYS HINT

  • THAT THEY MIGHT RUN BUT DON'T

  • NECESSARILY PLUNGE ALL THE WAY.

  • THEY ARE MEMBERS OF.

  • >> Mark: CNN IS CREATING EVEN

  • MORE CONTROVERSY, CLAIMING THAT

  • FREDO IS AN ETHNIC SLUR.

  • >> KEPT FREDO BACK HOME, SO WHO

  • CARES WHAT DONALD TRUMP JR. SAY

  • SAYS.

  • >> THIS GUY, ON THESE DIFFERENT

  • OCCASIONS, BASICALLY TRIED TO

  • OBSTRUCT JUSTICE.

  • >> NOBODY RESPECTED HIM ENOUGH

  • TO CARRY OUT HIS ORDERS.

  • >> Mark: YOU KNOW, GREG, WE

  • SHOULD ALL JUST ENJOYED THIS

  • STORY.

  • WHAT I ESPECIALLY LIKE ABOUT

  • THIS IS WHEN HE GOES STRAIGHT TO

  • THE F WORD.

  • HE ACTUALLY SAYS, "OH, BY THE

  • WAY I'M CHRIS CUOMO.

  • I HAVE A SHOW ON CNN.

  • AN "

  • >> Greg: YOU DON'T WANT TO

  • BOTHER PEOPLE, BUT ALSO, DON'T

  • TURN THINGS INTO THINGS THAT ARE

  • NOT RACIST INTO THINGS THAT ARE.

  • NOR IS FAKE NEWS THE N-WORD FOR

  • JOURNALISM.

  • SOMETHING IN CUOMO'S BRAIN.

  • THAT'S THE N-WORD FOR ITALIANS.

  • IT'S SOMETHING THAT HE USES OVER

  • AND OVER AGAIN.

  • IT'S AN ANALOGY FOR HIS OWN

  • CLAIMS OF VICTIMHOOD.

  • THE GUY WHO WENT AFTER HIM IS

  • NOTHING LIKE ANTIFA.

  • THE BOTTOM LINE IS, I THINK HE

  • KNEW THIS WAS HAPPENING.

  • BUT I THINK THIS FEEDS INTO HIS,

  • I KNOW HIS REPUTATION AS A TOUGH

  • GUY.

  • A NETWORK THAT THROWS AROUND THE

  • H WORD.

  • HITLER.

  • EVERYBODY THAT WORKS HERE IS

  • SOMEHOW A WHITE SUPREMACIST,

  • ACCORDING TO CNN.

  • >> Mark: SO IF I FOLLOW THAT.

  • [LAUGHS]

  • >> Mark: THE VICTIMHOOD THING

  • IS THE MOST ABSURD THING ABOUT

  • THIS.

  • THE IDEA THAT FREDO.

  • >> IT'S NOT AN ATHLETIC SLUR.

  • IT IS NOT IN NICE.

  • I MEAN, YOU ARE BASICALLY

  • CALLING SOMEONE A LOSER.

  • SO IT'S NOT NICE.

  • I DO GET THOUGH, I MEAN, HE'S

  • OUT WITH HIS FAMILY AND HE'S

  • TRYING TO HAVE A DECENT TIME.

  • I THINK PEOPLE THAT NOW EXIST TO

  • EXCITE YOU, TO COME UP TO YOU,

  • TO AGGRAVATE YOU, TO DISRUPT

  • YOUR PEACE, TO RECORD YOU, TO

  • TRY TO CAPTURE SOME CRAZY THING

  • THAT THEY CAN THEN DISTRIBUTE ON

  • THE INTERNET, IT CAN BE

  • INFURIATING.

  • I HAVE MY OWN MOMENTS WHERE I

  • CAN BE OUT AND THAT CAN HAPPEN,

  • AND I MIGHT JUST START BLOWING

  • OFF STEAM IN THAT MOMENT.

  • SO I GET IT.

  • HE CAME ON AND SAID "I SHOULDN'T

  • HAVE REACTED THAT WAY.

  • I SHOULDN'T HAVE TAKEN THE

  • BAIT."

  • I DO GET THE ROOF FRUSTRATION OF

  • JUST EXISTS DOMINIC EXISTING IN

  • THE PUBLIC EYE.

  • >> Greg: DON'T GO OUT.

  • >> Mark: THERE IS NORMAL

  • SITUATIONS LIKE GO OFF THE

  • RAILS.

  • IF YOU ARE EATING AT A

  • RESTAURANT.

  • BUT YOU DON'T DO WHAT THIS GUY

  • DID.

  • THERE IS A COOL WAY TO REACT TO

  • THIS KIND OF THING, ISN'T THERE?

  • >> Juan: THERE IS.

  • I TEND TO WALK AWAY, BUT IT

  • HAPPENS, AND IT'S VERY

  • UNPLEASANT.

  • I'M SHAKEN BY THE IDEA THAT THIS

  • WAS RECORDED.

  • THIS INDICATES TO ME THAT IT WAS

  • A SET UP OF CHRIS CUOMO.

  • THE KIND OF RHETORIC THAT HE WAS

  • USING WAS INTENDED TO PROVOKE

  • CHRIS CUOMO.

  • I THINK THAT'S WHY YOU SEE SO

  • MANY PEOPLE STANDING UP FOR

  • CHRIS, INCLUDING PEOPLE ON THIS

  • CHANNEL.

  • I KNOW THAT THE PRESIDENT

  • DOESN'T LIKE HIM.

  • WHY ARE WE DEFENDING CHRIS CUOM

  • CUOMO?

  • I JUST WROTE ABOUT IT IN MY

  • COMMENTS.

  • SOME GUY COMES UP TO ME AND

  • STARTS USING OFFENSIVE WORDS AND

  • SAYS HE LIKES TROLLING ME AND HE

  • AND HIS BODY BUDDIES.

  • HE ASKED FOR A SELFIE.

  • IT'S UNBELIEVABLE.

  • IT'S LIKE, YOU ASK ME, WHAT DO I

  • DO?

  • >> Greg: DO YOU THINK THE

  • COMPARISON IS FAIR THAT FREDO IS

  • THE N-WORD?

  • >> Juan: NO, I THINK THAT THIS

  • GUYS SET UP CHRIS CUOMO AND

  • CHRIS CUOMO FILE FOR THE BAIT.

  • APPARENTLY, I AM VERY

  • RECOGNIZABLE.

  • >> Mark: YOU KNOW WHAT I WOULD

  • LOVE TO SEE?

  • I WOULD LOVE TO SEE SOMEONE COME

  • UP TO DANA PERINO IN A

  • RESTAURANT AND FOR DANA TO

  • LAUNCH INTO A.

  • SOMEONE SHOULD SET THAT UP.

  • >> Dana: I AM SO

  • UNRECOGNIZABLE.

  • THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN.

  • WHEN YOU ARE OUTSIDE OF NEW YOR

  • NEW YORK.

  • YEARS AGO, I REMEMBER BEING

  • CALLED A WAR CRIMINAL.

  • >> Greg: I APOLOGIZE FOR THAT.

  • >> Dana: I FIND IT VERY

  • UNATTRACTIVE WHEN MEN DO THIS.

  • SUPER UNATTRACTIVE.

  • I ALSO FEEL LIKE BEING THE

  • WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY, YOU

  • NEVER, EVER LET THEM RATTLE YOU.

  • DO NOT LET THEM ROB YOU OF YOUR

  • DIGNITY.

  • BUT ALSO, YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER

  • THAT THE CAMERAS ARE ALWAYS ON.
