Gov. Andrew Cuomo, D-N.Y., blasted “The Godfather” for repeating “negative stereotypes” about Italians following a viral confrontation involving his brother, CNN anchor Chris Cuomo, taking offense at being called “Fredo” by a heckler.
During a Monday interview on WAMC, the New York governor was briefly asked about a video where Chris Cuomo had a fiery exchange with a heckler who taunted the cable news anchor by referring to him as the “weak brother” from the Oscar-winning film, which he called a “slur” against Italians.
Although Gov. Cuomo didn’t directly address the “Fredo” video, he expressed a similar sentiment to his brother, telling WAMC’s Alan Chartock that the film repeats “discrimination.”
“My father wouldn’t watch the movie because it was anti-Italian. The stereotype is anti-Italian,” Cuomo said.
