Anderson Cooper Says He ‘Muted’ Trump on Twitter

CNN anchor Anderson Cooper told late night talk show host Stephen Colbert on Monday that he has muted President Donald Trump on Twitter.

Colbert first asked Cooper how his weekend was. Cooper said he had traveled to film a "60 Minutes" report before describing how he does not see the president's tweets anymore.

"I've actually muted the president on Twitter," Cooper said. "Don't tell him. I muted him."

"What? You can do that?" Colbert asked.

"Yeah, you know, when you get annoying people tweeting you, you don't want to delete because then that tells them you've deleted them," Cooper said. "So if you just mute them they think you're still following them, and you don't actually see their tweets."

Cooper then explained that he had not seen Trump's tweets over the weekend until he got back to work

"I get back on Sunday and I finally turn on my phone again. I'm like, ‘What!'" Cooper said, referencing Trump's accusation that former President Barack Obama wiretapped Trump Tower.

Cooper went on to say that CNN is an objective news source, Newsbusters reports, also noting some of Cooper's past praise for Obama.

Saw a short clip of this last night. Sad but typical audience reaction. Now, where’s the mute button for him?

If a tree fell on Anderson would it make a sound, other than the cheering bystanders.

“La la la I can’t hear you. After all, I’m a journalista and you’re just the President. Besides, I make it all up anyway.”

That is what Cooper was undoubtedly thinking.

He can delete him, visit someone who can erase him from his mind, and it won’t change a thing. Trump will destroy him and those within his profession that deserve destroying.

The last time I actually watched something that Anderson Cooper did was, oh, probably about 10 years ago. I know what he looks like but don’t remember anything that he’s said or done.

That’s rich hearing Cooper and Colbert discussing “annoying” people!

President Trump only tweets 3-4 times a day. If that is too much for you, you may have TDS. Ask your doctor if Midol is right for you.

The public has been muting the uniparty liberal socialist press for decades now.

And Zucker whines that Trump and his supporters calls CNN biased and say that they’re fake media.

“Anderson Cooper Says He ‘Muted’ Trump on Twitter”

Now, is that always or just while he is knelt down at the alter of Obama praying at the shrine of the aborted fetus...just curious.

There is a mildly famous dog named after Anderson. Last name rhymes with “Cooper.” The dog has accomplished more in his life so far. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvD4MUCS9zY

If a tree fell on A Cooper, all the diseases his body hosts will die, like AIDS and stuff.

So yeah, it would be a cause for sadness.

CNN's Anderson Cooper pulls a boy to safety in Port-Au-Prince, Haiti.

Hey, caption writer, are you SURE that's what he's doing?
