They're LOSING Their MINDS! CNN's Anderson Cooper Vulgarly Insults Chris Sununu On Air

In the rogue's gallery of cable news personalities, CNN's Anderson Cooper has always been one of the calmer, more mature talking heads.
Oh, he's just as far left as the rest of them, make no mistake. He will happily repeat the latest narrative and DNC talking points, such as the recent one that we are in a 'Constitutional crisis' right now, but, unlike many of his colleagues, he usually maintains an even-keeled demeanor on the air. He generally doesn't cry like Jimmy Kimmel, throw deranged rants like Joy Reid (and many others), or try to shout down anyone who has a different opinion, like Abby Phillip has to do almost every night when Scott Jennings embarrasses her entire panel.
Cooper has even been known to -- gasp! -- push back from time to time if a lie from the left is too unbelievably ridiculous to repeat, such as when Amy Klobuchar claimed that many conservatives were planning to vote for Kamala Harris.
So, when Cooper loses his composure like he did last night with guest Chris Sununu, it's a pretty good sign that President Trump and Elon Musk are driving the legacy media even more insane than we thought they were.
Watch below as Sununu provides an example of the profligate fraud and waste that DOGE has uncovered. Cooper can't deal with that evidence, so he responds by vulgarly insulting his panelist with 'Don't be a d*ck.'
Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) ~ 🚨 WOW ... Chris Sununu was just called a "d*ck" by Anderson Cooper over DOGE.
COOPER: Some of the details, like millions for hotels, it's actually not...
SUNUNU: You mean the FEMA money for migrants? That's OK now?
COOPER: I'm not saying it's OK, don't put words in my mouth. Don't be a d*ck.
Later on in the episode, Cooper apologized.

Video of Anderson Cooper on his way home from the CNN studio, later that evening ...
Maybe the funniest part of the whole clip is seeing Jeffrey 'Zoom Call' Toobin, who had repeatedly been trying to interrupt Sununu earlier, all of a sudden zip his mouth firmly shut as soon as Cooper mentions the ... errr ... male genitalia.
Whenever CNN has Jeffrey "Lubin'" Toobin on one of its shows, it probably has at least one producer dedicated to watching and making sure that Toobin keeps both of his hands above the countertop at all times, don'tcha know!
We hope Toobin wasn't getting any ideas. And why does he have a job on your network, CNN?
Pete Mundo (@PeteMundo) ~ Jeffrey Toobin sitting at the table as this unfolds should not be lost on anyone either!
Yep. We all remember. His presence at the table for Cooper's retort is all the more reason that CNN is an embarrassment.
Probably why they have Chris Sununu sitting between Toobin and the female panel participant - to protect her.
T. Becket Adams (@BecketAdams) ~ The Vanderbilt nepot abandoning all pretense as a “moderator” ... a guest as milquetoast as Sununu being labeled a “dick” and all while an infamous workplace masturbator looks on, is the purest distillation of modern CNN.
It truly does encapsulate the absolute state of CNN (not to mention the rest of the legacy media), doesn't it?
Richard Grenell (@RichardGrenell) ~ This is unacceptable from a “journalist.” Where are the @cnn executives who claim they want to be fair?
Yeah, that was a pretty funny joke too, when CNN claimed that it wanted to switch from being partisan to only calling balls and strikes. No one believed it when they said it, and certainly no one believes it now that Trump has become President again.
But we're old enough to remember when CNN banned Ryan Girdusky for hilariously dropping Mehdi Hasan with a pager joke, so we'd like to know when Cooper is going to be fired for a similar, but far less amusing, indiscretion.
We won't hold our breath.
Bonchie (@bonchieredstate) ~ Anderson Cooper melts down, calls Chris Sununu an obscenity live on-air. These people are losing their minds. I’ve never seen the mainstream press so terrified.
They ARE terrified and they ARE losing their minds.
That should send only one message to Trump and Musk: 'Keep going. Push harder.'
Veni! Vidi! Memi! (@venividimemi) ~ Not sure why that comment got under Anderson's skin. Seems a pretty standard retort from Sununu.
Well, to be honest, Cooper didn't have a meltdown ... BUT, he did lose his control, momentarily ... AND, that was somewhat revealing ... NOT in a Toobin sort of way, though, thank goodness!
It got under his skin for a very simple reason. Sununu is correct and Cooper has nothing, absolutely nothing, to respond with. So, he resorts to childish taunts.
And he's supposed to be the 'moderator' of these discussions.
Joe Concha (@JoeConchaTV) ~ Can we finally dispense with the ridiculous premise that Anderson Cooper is an objective journalist?
Wait, there was anyone who actually believed that?
Anderson Cooper is a political hack ... a DNC propagandist. He is absolutely NOT a journalist.
Even though we credited Cooper with normally maintaining his composure, we were never under any delusion that he was anything other than an apparatchik.
Stephen L. Miller (@redsteeze) ~ A reminder when Anderson Cooper says he was in "Hurricane Katrina."
Yep, Cooper is a pathetic pretender.
That's an excellent example of what 'honest journalism' means to Cooper.
Jacqueline Vanacek (@JacquelnVanacek) ~ This is whet you get from a failing news station.
That word should probably be in the past tense. Not 'failing' ... 'failed.'
WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot (@aleykhat_tx) ~ Dana “Harry Bolz” Bash, and now Anderson “Don’t be a d*ck” Cooper. Quite the @CNN news day! 🤣
HA.
Yep, CNN was totally having a normal one yesterday.
Kristian Berger (@berger_kristian) ~ "D*ck" is a dangerous word to use around Toobin.
Ahem. Moving on ...
Scooter Braun Did Nothing Wrong (@AMFKNole) ~ What is Anderson Cooper saying about the hotel money? That the story wasn't true?
Yes, that is indeed what he was trying to say. Sununu cut him off with the facts. And Cooper couldn't deal.
It is not in this clip, but we believe that Cooper apologized to Sununu for his insult later in the broadcast.
Gosh, that was awfully big of him. But it was too late. He had already said the quiet part out loud, that he had the rest of the media hacks have nothing to counter all the corruption that DOGE is exposing.
The real question is why that makes them so panicked, but we know the answer there too.
Cooper may not be fired for his comment the way that CNN banned Gidursky (and yet didn't fire Toobin), but his network is circling the drain and he may find himself out of a job soon anyway. And it will only be his fault, no one else's.
If you're looking for the d*ck in the conversation last night, Anderson Cooper, we'd suggest a mirror.
