  1. He said “don’t be a dick.” That’s not exactly the same as calling someone a dick.

  5. They were sparing and Cooper said, “Don’t be a dick.” [Here’s the clip.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRpj13hkAI0)

    In OP’s article, the Republican Lawmaker (former NH governor Chris Sununu) laughs it off, says he wasn’t offended, and that Cooper is a great guy who just got a little too casual in the moment.

    This is a non issue.

  6. Republicans are going to amplify this into a gigantic issue like they always do. 

  7. If you are being a dick, you should be called out by peers or how will one learn to act better

  8. Who cares? He said “don’t be a dick” – try holding the republicans to even a microscopic fraction of the standards people will demand of AC and then we’ll talk.

  9. Anderson seems like a good guy .. he knows how it works.. he can be as critical of the dems..

  10. I’m from NH and can confirm that Chris Sununu is a dick. He’s also a retired governor, not exactly a current lawmaker.

  11. It’s trashy all these politicians and news people cursing on Tv

  12. BREAKING: Anderson Cooper recites key plot point from Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania

  13. Some time the brain filter breaks down and let’s the truth out.

  14. Oh and let me guess, all the Republicans are gonna clutch their pearls *at this*

  15. Someone should pass the same message along to Scott Jennings. Dude is like one of the most despicable and obnoxious people I’ve ever laid eyes on.

  18. USA sucks dick these days. Amazing how our country has fallen into the shit hole so quickly. Greed supersedes decency in America today. Even though rump said he knew nothing about project 2025, the voters had plenty of warning. American voters are just stupid or too uneducated to vote for what’s best for them. “My egg prices!”. Republicans drank the cool-aid this time. And they guzzled it down.

  19. The guy was being a dick and then some. It’s the classic right wing tactic, word salad everywhere to prevent your opponent from disputing your bullshit.

  21. He works for CNN, they are all in on what this admin is doing. He wouldn’t do or say anything controversial or report the truth. His job is to soften the thievery his corporation and every other is doing to this country and its poor/middle class. CNN is filled with a bunch of zombies mindlessly repeating bullshit talking points, failing to call out the lies.

  22. Is it me or does the media make Democrats look bad compared to the other party

  23. I remember years ago, George Bush was talking at a church ceremony after Hurricane Katrina. During this, the news anchors at cnn forgot to turn off their mics and proceeded to bash members of their family. It was hilarious. Ah, memories.

  24. Ooooo he said dick 🙄

    Call me back when someone drops a Kendrick level verbal breakdown on live TV. Mainly because that’d be entertaining as *fuck*

  26. Sounds like he was polite. I would have called him much worse

  27. Being apart of our entertainment venue does not require you to impersonate a penile appendage…..ya dick!

  28. So how does a headline like this not make an already broken country even more broken? Fuck the people who post this shit, and if you’re part of it, buy into it, spread it, well, fuck you too.

  29. Good job Anderson, but maybe say it with more conviction next time!

  32. John Sununu is a dick.

    I’m not the first or last to comment this here but it’s always worth repeating.

  37. More republicans need to be told that they are being dicks

  38. I think CNN forgets to be in touch with reality because that’s what republican politicians are when it comes to the American taxpayer.

  39. > ‘I Think He Forgot the Camera Was On’

    Anderson Cooper has been in that business for a loooong time. He knew exactly what he was doing. Also, weird that People is trying to spin this into a controversy when the actual video of it is such a nothingburger.

  41. He didn’t tell him to eat a bag of. He just told him to stop being one.

  42. No he didn’t, but also good. Being a lawmaker doesn’t make you exempt from being called a dick if you are being a dick.

  43. Well, he is a dick and apparently knows it. No harm done.

  44. They are dicks, tiny, microscopic, diseased fascist dicks

  45. I can see it now… “Can you believe the language these Democrats use? They throw around swear words like it’s nothing–so nasty! Remember Nasty by Janet Jackson? Great song, tremendous song. People don’t make music like that anymore! And they have the nerve to call me disrespectful? And yet, when I say something totally perfect, they go crazy. SAD!!”

  47. Finally someone publically calling Sununu out on being an asshole. His whole family sucks. Upsetting he’s getting any airtime as he’s clearly gunning to sniff Trumps farts for a federal position ( like his dad who covered up HW’s involvement in Iran/Contra)

  48. He’s a drooling ignorant spineless treason supporting republican, calling him a dick is too nice.
