CNN's Anderson Cooper accuses Trump of 'hijacking' White House presser, trashes his response to outbreak
Fox News ^ | April 07 2020 | Joseph A. Wulfsohn

CNN anchor Anderson Cooper had some harsh words for President Trump on Monday night, accusing him of "hijacking" his own White House coronavirus task force press briefing.

"If you tuned into it hoping you were going to hear from the country's top scientists, you were likely disappointed," Cooper began. "What you mostly heard was the president. And what you saw was a hijacking. A hijacking of the task force press conference by a president determined to rewrite the history of his early and reprehensibly irresponsible response to this virus. What the president showed us today is what the nation's top scientists have to deal with every day- a president who now uses these briefings as a reelection platform, an opportunity to lie, to deflect, to attack, to bully, and cover-up his own deadly dismissals of the virus for crucial weeks."

How can the President “hijack” his own press conference? That’s like... Israel “occupying” its own territory.

CNN anchor Anderson Cooper had some harsh words for President Trump

CNN has no "anchors" - that word used to mean objective news reporters. CNN has a gaggle of hysterical people who are opposed to Trump and get air time to complain about him.

Con artists like Cooper count on the viewers who don’t know the timeline of the events for the virus. Then they can bad mouth the President for not doing enough during the early stages of the outbreak. I wonder why the other world leaders didn’t do enough during the early stages of the outbreak?

Dude! A reporter asked a direct question about the price of oil while having no clue what the price of oil was! How do these people have jobs working as “reporters” when they cant report sht! The POTUS was extremely cool for not blowing up screaming at the guy. If I was under 1/100th the pressure that Trump is I would have lost it at such a moron.
