Anderson Cooper took to CNN on Tuesday to compare Trump and his supporters to the perpetrators of the genocides in Rwanda and Bosnia. "The idea of 'otherizing' people is something I think we've seen a lot of over the last four years," Cooper said. "It's so easy to otherize people, to make them other than, other than American, other than patriotic, other than human." "We've seen it in Bosnia, we've seen it in Rwanda... where Hutus were telling radio listeners that Tutsi were cockroaches, you know, getting them ginned up for genocide, and you see it in these videos where...

A man who once believed in the far-right QAnon conspiracy theory apologized to CNN's Anderson Cooper for thinking he ate babies. The apology from the former QAnon supporter Jitarth Jadeja was part of a special report the network aired late Saturday called "Inside the QAnon Conspiracy." Cooper said Jadeja was a believer of the far-right conspiracy theory until 2019. "Did you at the time believe that high-level Democrats and celebrities were worshipping Satan? Drinking the blood of children?" Cooper said, referring to some of the baseless theories to come out of the conspiracy movement. "Anderson, I thought you did that,...

Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) said Tuesday on CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360” that there was “still the chance” that former President Donald Trump could “incite another attempt at the Capitol.” Murphy said, “So long as Donald Trump is the head of the Republican Party, they are going to find themselves in the minority. They are going to lose races for the House and the Senate, especially after the insurrection attempt. But it’s also important to note that the threat to the country is not over.” He added, “We have 5,000 National Guard Members surrounding the Capitol complex. Why? Because there are...

John Earle Sullivan, a 26-year-old left-wing activist and “known agitator,” has been arrested for his role in the Capitol riots after he was caught on film shouting “it’s our house” and “we got to get this s**t burned.” Sullivan, who has previously taken part in Black Lives Matter protests, told multiple media outlets prior to his arrest that he was simply on-site to ‘document’ the events at the Capitol. In an interview with CNN’s Anderson Cooper after the riot, the left-wing agitator “implied that he was passively observing the situation as it unfolded.” Sullivan told Fox News last week that...

Footage obtained by the Gateway Pundit from militant Black Lives Matter and Antifa activist John Sullivan’s discord shows the so-called “civil rights activist” reveling inside the U.S. Capitol on Jan.6 as he damaged federal property. Sullivan has maintained in multiple interviews that he regularly attends protests only to record what’s going on, but did not actively partake in the insurgence in Washington. “It’s just recording, solely, and not being active in it,” he told Fox News last week. Yet, in footage streamed to followers on his discord server, Sullivan, who uses the Discord name “Jayden X”, can be heard inciting...

The Black Lives Matter activist who was seen storming the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 was arrested and charged, the Department of Justice said Thursday. A newly released court filing says John Earle Sullivan, 26, told FBI agents last week that he was at the Capitol when the breach happened. He said he entered through a window that had been broken out. He also said he was present when Ashli Babbitt, an Air Force veteran, was shot dead by a U.S. Capitol Police officer as she tried to climb into the House Speaker’s Lobby through a window. Sullivan showed agents...

Maybe I’m just cynical, which I know I am, but every single time one of those teleprompter-reading TV personalities masquerading as journalists use a phrase like “It’s a sad day” or “It’s impacted all of us,” I want to throw up. There has never been a phonier, less trustworthy group of people with more influence in history. When idiots stormed the Capitol building, the pearl clutchers went into overdrive with the “this is horrible to see” and some “this is a tragedy” talk. Yes, both are true, but does anyone believe they actually feel any of it personally? Why would...

The CNN anchor made the comment Wednesday as video of angry protesters storming the Capitol appeared on the screen. “Look at them, they’re high-fiving each other for this deplorable display of completely unpatriotic, completely against law and order, completely unconstitutional behavior, it’s stunning,” Cooper said. “And they’re going to go back to the Olive Garden and to the Holiday Inn they’re staying at, or the Garden Marriott, and they’re going to have some drinks and talk about the great day they had in Washington … They stood up for nothing other than mayhem.”

COOPER: “— the President did not have any evidence presented at all. Nothing. No real, actual evidence of any kind of fraud. He talked about people putting up papers in windows. He talked about things that he’d seen on the internet. That is the president of the United States. That is the most powerful person in the world and we see him like an obese turtle on his back flailing in the hot sun realizing his time is over, but he just hasn’t accepted it and he wants to take everybody down with him, including this country.”

For CNN’s liberal fact-checker Daniel Dale to admit that President Donald Trump was “correct” about Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s fracking stance must have been a hard pill to swallow for the network. During CNN’s post-debate analysis, Anderson Cooper 360° anchor Anderson Cooper pointed out that Trump went after “Biden on the issue of fracking to extract oil and gas.” Cooper then showed a clip of the Trump-Biden exchange on fracking, where Biden claimed that he “never said ‘I oppose fracking.’” Cooper then appeared to try to lead Dale into giving the answer he wanted by saying, “Daniel, he [Biden]...

Governor Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI) said Tuesday on CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360” that President Donald Trump’s rhetoric has caused hate crimes to increase “exponentially over the last four years.” Cooper said, “When you heard the crowd at President Trump’s rally over the weekend, chanting “lock her up” referring to you— I don’t know if it surprised you given all you have been through and come to expect— but the fact that that’s where this has sunk, and the president still continues to attack you in the wake of this is stunning

A few years ago, some waggish citizen of the internet decided he would take bits and pieces from horror film “The Shining,” score them to Peter Gabriel doing “Solsbury Hill” and create a trailer for a wholesome, fun, feel-good father-and-son tale, called “Shining.” Everything seen in the trailer really was taken from the movie, but to edit is to distort. Or even to create, as we saw in CNN and ABC’s town halls this week. Polls show the American people hold similar views of President Trump and Joe Biden; an Economist/YouGov poll of likely voters last week put Trump’s favorability...

At a CNN town hall meeting, Joe Biden was expressing how important it is to wear a mask and social distance. Also how he wants to put a mask fine in effect and a federal mask mandate. He then goes against the things he was just preaching and breaks the own laws he wants to put into place. Lord help this man. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6lKODk7kYY

This is what happens when he doesn't have his teleprompter. WATCH....

77-year-old Joe Biden on Thursday got confused again and spoke gibberish during a Rosh Hashanah virtual event with his wife Jill. Biden got confused and wasn’t sure if he was supposed to speak. “Am I supposed to speak now or is Karen supposed to speak? I don’t know” Biden said laughing. “I don’t want to get in trouble.” Then he spoke gibberish. “Put the future within our reach where state, that in, look, whatever state of life,” said Biden. Got that?

by Sam Rostock The media loves to present Joe Biden as "Good Ol' Joe", a likable, honest, decent man you can trust. Nothing could be further from the truth...Biden has always been a shameless serial liar, and plagiarist. But Joe's been in politics so long -- 47 years! -- that most Americans either forgot, or weren't around when he showed it. At CNN's town hall Thursday evening, Biden proved Mark Twain's adage: “If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.” Biden told a lie to the audience that he got CAUGHT lying about over 3 decades...

by Sam Rostock 77-year-old Joe Biden participated in a CNN town hall Thursday evening with host Anderson Cooper. It is a complete, scripted farce. Anderson Cooper began by asking Joe Biden a softball question about Trump’s COVID response. Anderson Cooper then called on a questioner who just happened to be from Dunmore, PA, the same town Biden’s dad is from — what a coincidence! “My dad’s from Dunmore!” said Biden. Then things got MUCH worse. A man named Joe Farley was presented to the CNN TV audience as a random, neutral questioner from the community. He wasn't. Joe began...
