CNN host, Anderson Cooper has expressed his displeasure at Donald Trump’s latest misogynistic reference towards Democratic party presidential nominee Kamala Harris and former Secretary of State, Hilary Clinton.
On Wednesday, August 28, Trump shared several posts on social media, including a post supporting QAnon, the conspiracy theory that there is an international, Satanic cabal of paedophiles run by Hillary Clinton and Tom Hanks that is ‘’torturing children to harvest their adrenochrome.‘’
The post that Trump shared on the platform Truth Social included the QAnon phrases “Nothing can stop what is coming,” “Hold the line,” and “WWG1WGA” (“Where we go one, we go all”).
In another post, Trump shared pictures of Clinton, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), President Joe Biden and his son Hunter, Harris, Dr. Anthony Fauci, and Bill Gates in prison jumpsuits with the words “How to actually ‘fix the system.’”
But one posting in particular disturbed Cooper: a picture of Harris and Clinton with the comment: “Funny how blowjobs impacted both of their careers differently.”
It’s a reference to Bill Clinton’s (Hilary Clinton’s husband) behaviour in the 90s when the former U.S. president had 0ral sex with a White House Intern as well as the allegations that Harris has only seen career success in politics because she performed s3xual favors for men.
“This is the Republican candidate for president” talking about “two of the most accomplished women in American political history,” Cooper stressed.
“He did not look at this stuff, chuckle silently to himself, if that’s what he would do, and move on,” Cooper said. “Instead, he wanted to give it the stamp of approval of the 45th and perhaps the 47th president of the United States.
“This is the Republican candidate for president… talking about two women who, no matter what you think of their politics, are two of the most accomplished women in American political history,” Cooper said. “This is what he chose to amplify.”
Cooper then said that the post wasn’t “out of character when it comes to him and women” and shared a supercut of Trump’s comments.
Later in the broadcast, Cooper discussed Trump’s social media posts with fellow CNN anchor Abby Phillip.
Phillip noted that “Trump doesn’t believe that they would ever be qualified,” referring to women who challenge him. “He called Kamala Harris ‘dumb’ multiple times this week.”
“He could be attacking her on a whole host of substantive things,” he continued. “But the thing he attacks her on is something that is very clearly false because of the fact that she- of all that she’s accomplished, her education, etc… This is who Trump is. It’s also exactly the thing that disturbs moderate independent voters the most about him.
“This campaign is going to be fought now on the grounds of fitness for office.”
