We’d thought President Trump had really stepped in it with his latest denial of the sexual assault claims leveled by E. Jean Carroll; something dumb like “she’s not my type” is not only irrelevant — it’s the perfect soundbite for the mainstream media to keep in the news cycle for a week.
On Monday night, it was Anderson Cooper’s turn to interview Carroll, and even though he put the words right into her mouth, she turned around and left him temporarily speechless.
Trump's accuser just said most people think of rape as "sexy"
Wtf

Anderson Cooper went straight to commercial right after this comment. pic.twitter.com/hkM7KCYw71

Ok now it’s really just sad. This lady is in need of some kind of help

I really don't know what to say about this.

AC was pretty uncomfortable in this interview. Quite unlike his usual.

I… I don’t think she’s well.
— Alethea (@alimcnabb) June 25, 2019
That's what I was thinking. Why come out now? And she says she still has the clothes she was wearing when it happened but she doesn't want the police to investigate. It just seems like something's off. Things like this make it challenging for real victims to come forward.

Can we be done with this charade now?
— Brady Gray (@Brady_Gray) June 25, 2019
They actually put this woman on not one, but several mainstream news networks. Just when you think you’ve seen it all. Dear God

Two or three more accusers like this and he's going to be President for life.

OMG, I can’t believe I’m actually cringing for AC. What in the wild wild world of sports is going on here. ?

But she was on the cover of New York magazine! She is definitely telling the truth! Poor @CNN they just can't help themselves.

She flummoxed Anderson Cooper. He didn’t know what to say to that. What a disgrace this all is.

So we’re just giving anyone a platform now….

I bet they are regretting that.

Would love to have the audio of Anderson during that commercial break.
— jlow (@jlow18) June 25, 2019
That would be something.
I don’t think that clip is going to make Brian’s newsletter guys.

Update:
Here’s the Hill’s takeaway from that interview….oddly doesn’t include part with her saying most people think rape is sexy and getting cut off! Weird! https://t.co/gbl9coRz0r
