Democrats crying wolf is nothing new! We are used to it, but it never gets any less ridiculous.
CNN host Christopher Cuomo has his undies in a bunch over his nickname: "Fredo". He claims it is a racist slur against Italians, and had an absolute meltdown over it!
So @ChrisCuomo says calling him "Fredo" is like the "N-word for us"
Weird, I don't recall him having an issue with Ana Navarro calling @DonaldJTrumpJr "Fredo" ON HIS SHOW ON CNN.
I also don't recall CNN having an issue with Rick Wilson calling Rep. Nunez "Fredo" on CNN.

Bless his heart. He obviously does not understand the context and meaning of the word, which ironically, makes the nickname all the more fitting!
Donald Trump Jr. slammed Cuomo on Twitter, and quite frankly, we are here for it!
Hey @ChrisCuomo, take it from me, “Fredo” isn’t the N word for Italians, it just means you’re the dumb brother. 😉 https://t.co/sgg6yF7UDO

“Hey @ChrisCuomo, take it from me, ‘Fredo’ isn’t the N word for Italians, it just means you’re the dumb brother,” Trump Jr. tweeted.
However, the president's eldest son isn't the only one to roll their eyes and fire back at the CNN host. Here are some more responses from Twitter:
N*GGER is a word rooted in white supremacy, the enslavement, lynching, murder, brutalization, & dehumanization of Blacks in America for the past 400 years.
FREDO was a character in ‘The Godfather,’ circa 1972. They called Blacks N*GGERS in the movie.

Just so we’re clear, no, calling someone “Fredo”, is not remotely in the same universe as the N Word. You know how you can tell? Ppl say “Fredo” but still won’t say the actual N Word. Also stop harassing public figures in public while living their private lives #ChrisCuomo

Me when Chris Cuomo compared him being called Fredo to Black people being called the n word. pic.twitter.com/vi4G9euUT9

I watched that clip of Chris Cuomo, while being a fredo definitely doesn't seem cool, it's nowhere near the n word. Like I said, the n word given antiblackness, is a stand alone. pic.twitter.com/VWEJGJg86y

Donald Trump Jr. also tweeted out a clip of Cuomo on CNN, where he appears to be okay with someone saying "Fredo", and calls him out for it.
“Does CNN’s head of PR still think ‘Fredo’ is an ethnic slur after watching this? Because if it’s the N word for Italians like @ChrisCuomo says, I don’t understand why Chris seems so at ease with someone saying it here. An excuse just as fake as his news,” his tweet read.
