Anderson Cooper Snaps At Republican Governor – ‘Don’t Be A Dick’

CNN anchor Anderson Cooper has been furious since President Donald Trump defeated former Vice President Kamala Harris in the presidential election in November, and the evidence is in how he handles himself.

Each night, he starts his show with a new rant about President Trump, Elon Musk, or any number of Republicans doing the work they were elected to do.

And on Tuesday night, he was so incensed with Republican New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu that he snapped at him, demanding he not be “a dick.”

“It was surreal,” the governor said of the press conference President Trump and Department of Government Efficiency head Musk held in the Oval Office.

 “But I gotta tell you, I know what you’re not showing here, but Musk gave seven specific examples off the top of his head of where the corruption and fraud were… He was talking about a contractor that had a three-month contract. He was paid for 20 years. He was talking about welfare benefits that were being paid to someone that was technically 150 years old,” he said.

“But we didn’t see any of that. He doesn’t present any actual evidence,” Cooper responded.

“He’s standing there in the Oval Office,” Sununu snapped back. “Do you expect him to come in with 10,000 pages? And I have to be clear. To complain about this administration, about transparency when this president takes open questions on a daily basis, yet Joe Biden didn’t show up for a press conference in six months is insane. These guys are being extremely transparent. They don’t have to sit there and take the questions, but they do. It’s all on the website. It’s all out there.”

That was when CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin got involved and the show went haywire.

“It’s not transparency to say things that have no factual background. I mean to say… we’ve found $1 billion or $1 trillion in waste with no specifics, that’s just talk. That’s not transparency,” he said.

“It’s 23 days in here, guys, 23 days. You’re talking about 2.3 billion that was saved last year. These guys are saving 2.3 billion a day,” Sununu responded.

“That’s what they’re saying. But where’s the proof?” Toobin demanded.

“You’re not gonna be satisfied til he shows up with 10,000 pages,” the governor snapped back.

“He’s giving very specific things, but he’s not actually giving any evidence of that,” Cooper said.

“It’s all going to come because what they also said was, if we have to go to Congress, we’ll go to Congress. We’ll show where it is,” Sununu said.

“But some of the details that have come out, like the $59 million spent on luxury hotels. It’s actually not …,” the anchor aid before Sununu cut him off.

“You’re talking about the FEMA money that was abused for migrants. That was FEMA money for migrants. That’s ok now?” Sununu said.

“No, I’m not saying it’s ok. Don’t put words in my mouth,” Cooper snapped.

“So, would you stop that? Would you stop that process?” Sununu responded.

“Don’t be a dick,” Cooper said.

“What I’m saying is the portrayal by him is just not factually accurate. He’s talking about luxury hotels,” he said.
