CNN anchor Anderson Cooper returned to his scorched-earth approach to former President Trump that has largely been absent since the 2022 ousting of the network's anti-Trump president Jeff Zucker.
Cooper began his opening monologue on Thursday following CNN's town hall with Trump the night before by addressing his audience's reaction to the "disturbing" event without once saying the former president's name.
"Many of you have expressed deep anger and disappointment. Many of you are upset that someone who attempted to destroy our democracy was invited to sit on a stage in front of a crowd of Republican voters to answer questions and predictably continued to spew lie, after lie, after lie," he said.
"And I get it. It was disturbing," Cooper continued. "It was disturbing to see and hear that person refer to a Black law enforcement officer a thug, an adjective he used many times to describe Black men, and called Kaitlan Collins, the moderator, ‘nasty,’ which is what he calls any woman who stands up to him. It was disturbing to hear him speak so highly of QAnon conspirators and insurrectionists who assaulted police officers and our democracy on January 6. And it was awful to hear him spread ridiculous lies about the election."
"And it was certainly disturbing to hear that audience, young and old, our fellow citizens, people who love their kids and go to church laugh and applaud his lies and his continued defamation of woman who according to a jury of his peers he sexually abused and defamed," Cooper said, referring to this week's jury verdict siding with Trump accuser E. Jean Carroll.
Cooper insisted that despite Collins' attempts as moderator, trying to fact-check Trump is "impossible" since "he lies so shamelessly."
"Now, many of you think CNN shouldn't have given him any platform..."

Yeah, sorry we weren’t born a Vanderbilt like you, Anderson.
The media will call for Nacht und Nebel. Their enemies must be disappeared. I say we reach that point in less than 5 years.
Embrace the suck Andy!
What lies Andy?
I’m disturbed that the Democrats ran a senile, crooked boob for President.
Passive aggressive angry communist fagoid elitist.
Andy would be a janitor at CNN instead of a broadcaster if his grandmother was not a major stockholder of the network.
An honest democrat if there was such a thing would have applauded most if not all of those points which were pretty basic stuff such as an honest election.
OH NOES God forbid having someone in your family who doesnt agree with the communist agenda.
The commiecrat party is destroying our constitutional republic!
Listen to the utter contempt CNN and the “drive-bys” have for half the country.
Oh these folks are just hard-core communists. They are dangerous grifters working to steal everything we own and then dispose of the bodies.
Nothing they say is the truth and they are extremely dangerous.
No one cares what air you breathe Coop
The phony charges of racism and sexism he is complaining about come from the fevered brains of left wing ideologues.
Andy is suffering from a bad case of the piles.
Hi is brainwashed and paid for. He would lose his career, identity, friends, and reputation if he said anything truthful. “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.”
Cooper is the best example of someone who’s ass has been handed to him. (Yeah, I know he’d prefer some other guy’s ass).
“Listen to the utter contempt CNN and the “drive-bys” have for half the country”
This is true, and it has been so for a very long time. The only thing that’s changed is the intensity of that contempt. And the intensity of the reaction to that contempt.
What is incorrect is limiting this contempt to the “drive bys”. This attitude of theirs is just an emanation of that of their audience.
What you have is a conflict of peoples. Half the people loathe the other half, and vice versa, more and more, and soon, I think, unto a cascade of killing rage. Then we shall have a high tech Hutu-Tutsi event.
"In The Pooper" Cooper personally KNOWS that E. Jean Carroll is a flaming whackjob.
Cooper is one of the most intellectually dishonest men in America.
Why would anyone trust this “media” that is worse than a Nazi or communist propaganda mouthpiece.
it’s stunning.
