A top CNN PR official responded to a viral video on Monday night that showed CNN’s Chris Cuomo yelling at a man who called him “Fredo” by stating that the network stands by Cuomo.
CNN’s Matt Dornic responded to a tweet from Donald Trump Jr. that showed the incident involving Cuomo: “Chris Cuomo defended himself when he was verbally attacked with the use of an ethnic slur in an orchestrated setup. We completely support him.”
