Anderson Cooper defended CNN’s decision to host Wednesday night’s town hall with former President Donald Trump.
Critics ripped the event, which came just a day after a jury in New York found Trump liable for sexual assault and defamation in a civil case. Detractors also pointed to the fact that Trump tried to cling to power after losing the 2020 election and incited the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol insurrection. Not surprisingly, Trump spent much of the town hall lying about various issues.
Cooper opened Thursday’s AC360 by addressing the town hall and the ensuing backlash.
“Before we begin with tonight’s broadcast, I want to say something about what we witnessed at last night’s town hall,” he began. “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. And I get it. It was disturbing.”

I never watch the Commie News Network to begin with!
lol.
Unless you go to an airport where you are forced to listen.
We didn’t have right to before? Nobody can force me to watch CNN Trump network.
The viewership he had immediately after the town hall, courtesy of people who had n’t turned the channel yet, was probably the biggest audience he’s ever had.
LOL no one watches CNN unless they are forced to, like at airports and hospital waiting rooms..when I had an MRI last yr they had CNN on and I said “Damn havent I suffered enough I cant watch this crap” and people in the waiting room laughed
Gee thanks for the permission on something I’ve not done since the Clinton years.
Who is Anderson Pooper.. and why do i care what he has to say? Is he a unbiased reporter of the news? Or, is he mostly leftwing fantasy entertainment? about a notch above the View?
now that I think about it, I don't notice a lot of TVs any more in the airport, at least not at the gates. Perhaps at the bars, but I don't spend any time at the bar.
One glaring axiom in which the leftists have complete faith - if Trump is speaking, they consider every word to be a lie, no matter the objective veracity of the statement. All their reasoning proceeds backwards from this one immovable and unalterable conclusion, their minds are made up, don’t confuse them with facts.
Of course, Donald Trump is none of the things the left says he is, but then, a foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds.
I had to google to find out where it is on direct. It’s certainly not on my favorites list
Their ratings were likely good.
They’ll do it again, too, knowing their ratings will skyrocket. Like the numbers fo the general election, 2020 Vs 2016
“and predictably, continued to spew lie after lie after lie. And I get it. It was disturbing.”
As opposed to the standard for truth Biden. FU twinkles.
I have a universal remote control that I carry in my purse. Doesn’t work every time, but about 85% of the time I am able to turn off the TV in the waiting room.
Perhaps having called a famous man a rapist in the face of 12 people deciding otherwise should be actionable.
They steal an election and call us destroyers of democracy
Usual
This townhall was a masterstroke by Trump. One of the defining moments in political history, right up there with Reagan’s “paying for this microphone” remark.
