Trump campaign site sells ‘Fredo Unhinged’ shirt following viral Chris Cuomo video
A "Fredo Unhinged" T-shirt is being sold on the official Donald Trump re-election website following a viral video of CNN journalist Chris Cuomo yelling at an apparent stranger who called him "Fredo".
Trump has also taken to Twitter to mock Cuomo and criticize CNN's defense of him.
Trump’s feud with CNN only intensified after Cuomo exploded at the man in the video, saying “I’ll (expletive) throw you down these stairs like a (expletive) punk.”
Cuomo also said “Fredo” is an ethnic slur against Italians. The term is a reference to a character in “The Godfather.” Trump has also retweeted several others criticizing Cuomo.

Cuomo responded to the video on Twitter: “I should be better than the guys baiting me.”

Appreciate all the support but - truth is I should be better than the guys baiting me. This happens all the time these days. Often in front of my family. But there is a lesson: no need to add to the ugliness; I should be better than what I oppose.
