Anderson Cooper, just like the rest of his colleagues at CNN, has zero credibility when it comes to reporting the news. He is not a journalist, so much as an opinionist.
Cooper is merely a talkinghead for the liberal agenda and the Biden administration.
From BizPac Review:
Social media exploded after a clip of CNN anchor Anderson Cooper appearing to suggest that the vaccine-hesitant could be denied Social Security was posted on Christmas Eve and drew a fierce response from Twitter users worried about the lengths to which the government might go to enforce compliance.
But don’t be mad. He didn’t really mean what he said as an endorsement. Outlets like AP have jumped to lib-splain his question as “only a question.” Thanks for clearing that up, guys!
Here’s what Cooper said during an interview with fellow far-left radical Bill Gates, “Obviously, corporations increasingly are saying you have to be vaccinated in order to work at our corporation. Is that something you support? And do you think the Federal government or state governments, or the very least Federal government should mandate, if you want to get on an airplane, you have to be vaccinated; if you want to get Social Security, you need to be vaccinated; if you want to get whatever benefits they give, you need to be vaccinated for. Is that something that the U.S. can and should do?”

Here are a couple reactions from liberal outlets that attempted to defend Cooper, albeit poorly…
Portions of an Aug. 4, 2021, CNN interview between Anderson Cooper and Bill Gates have been misrepresented online, with some social media users claiming that Cooper said he wanted to remove social security benefits from the unvaccinated https://t.co/18UzOsw0zJ

Anderson Cooper hasn’t said he supports withholding social security benefits from the unvaccinated, contrary to false claims online. The CNN anchor asked Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates his opinion on the hypothetical enforcement measure in an interview. https://t.co/RZHOXjrta5

Here are some reactions from sane Americans…
Watch the video, how is what he said misrepresented. @AC360 point blank said should the government withhold social security from unvaccinated. If that’s the case then payroll deductions need to become option because newsflash Anderson – SS is money we paid in. GFY

I can see and hear exactly what he said. What are you implying was misrepresented???

Many of these COVID-related “fact-checks” have been LMAO absurd, but this one is particularly ludicrous…
Anderson Cooper was NOT quoting someone else who was in favor of this ludicrous proposal! He was clearly mentioning it because he thought it was reasonable & Gates loved it!

During an interview with then-candidate Joe Biden in 2019, the idea was floated regarding President Trump’s rhetoric being compared to that of the KKK – an obvious lie if there ever was one.
From Daily Wire:
In an interview with CNN’s Anderson Cooper that aired Monday after Trump gave a speech calling for unity and condemning white supremacy and all forms of racial hatred, Democratic presidential frontrunner Joe Biden compared Trump’s rhetoric to that of the Ku Klux Klan and accused him of having “flat abandoned the theory that we are one people.”
In a televised speech from the White House Monday, President Trump addressed the horrific mass shootings in El Paso and Dayton, which took the lives of at least 29 people and injured dozens more, by condemning all forms of “racist hate,” particularly white supremacy, which appears to have motivated the El Paso shooter.
When he rang in the 2019 New Year, Cooper was on live TV with fellow host Andy Cohen.
Anderson then started talking about his mother’s sex life. No joke.
This is CNN.
WATCH Cooper drinking first:

From Daily Wire:
Later in the night, while talking with Dunaway about famous men she’d worked with, Cooper brought up his mother’s sex life, claiming that she “hooked up with” Marlon Brando.
Now the mom stuff:
Anderson Cooper talks about his mom’s sex life, says she “hooked up with” Marlon Brando: “She and Carol Matthau both watched the movie and both made a deal they were going to ‘meet up’ … Carol got it first and then set it up for my mom. It was a ‘one night date.” pic.twitter.com/406dGiFUgO

CNN is a much funnier network than Comedy Central.
