Liberal voices were immediately raised in defense of CNN's Chris Cuomo, when a video of his cartoonishly disproportionate raging at a one-word heckler went viral.

The man reportedly asked Cuomo to pose with him for a picture, and addressed the CNN host as "Fredo."

"Punk-ass bitches on the right call me Fredo," snarled Cuomo, according to Breitbart. "I'm Chris Cuomo. I'm an anchor on CNN. Fredo is from The Godfather. He was the weak brother."

Cuomo later threatened the man. "I'll fuckin' ruin your shit! I'll fucking throw you down these stairs like a fuckin' punk.

The anchor later claimed "Fredo" to be an anti-Italian slur.

Breitbart presented Twitter reactionsto that strained-beyond-sensible attempt at justification.

"So Chris Cuomo says that Fredo -- a character on The Godfather -- is the same as the n-word? Equating the twi is the very definition of white privilege and diminishes the generations of hate African-Americans have had to endure."
- Stephen Cheung, ex-UFC, Trump campaign, and White House assistant.

"The N word is a dehumanizing word used against blacks who endured years of oppression. Fredo is a term from The Godfather, referring to the dumb brother."
- White House advisor Katrina Pierson

Pierson later tweeted: "Hey @NAACP, do you agree with @ChrisCuomo that saying 'Fredo' is the equivalent of the 'N' word? #askingforafriend"

"Chris Cuomo once referred to himself as 'Fredo' in radio interview," headlined the New York Post. The paper an audio clip of a 2010 Cuomo appearance on Curtis Sliwa's New York program.

Others noted Cuomo had not objected when professional anti-Trumper Ana Navarro once used the term on his show.

Anti-MAGA sorts like Cuomo cheered mobs assaulting Trump officials in restaurants and at theaters. And also when protesters massed at Tucker Carlson's home.

Numerous political and media notables hostile to America's president applauded Antifa rioters sabotaging speakers' events. A recent guest on Cuomo's program called for "torches and pitchforks" at Trump-donors' homes.

So, it's hard to feel bad for him 'cause some random guy said something the loosely wrapped host interpreted as disrespectful.

Cuomo has for years been rightly criticized and ridiculed by Trump, as well as countless citizens. CNN's viewership has plummeted . He may be on his last nerve. And this manic episode may bespeak a looming full breakdown.

Jeff Zucker may soon be calling the guys with the butterfly net.

"Would Chris Cuomo be given a Red Flag for his recent rant? Filthy language and a total loss of control. He shouldn't be allowed to have any weapon. He's nuts!"
