CNN’s Anderson Cooper Calls Trump Aide ‘the Hungarian Don Rickles’ — Here’s the Interview That Set Him Off

Jul 13, 2017  •  Post A Comment

Following an insult-laden exchange with a White House aide on his CNN show, anchor Anderson Cooper described the aide, Sebastian Gorka, as “the Hungarian Don Rickles,” the AP reports.

“On Cooper’s show Wednesday … Gorka faced questions about last summer’s meeting held by the president’s son with a Russian woman who promised to help the Trump campaign with damaging information on Hillary Clinton,” the story reports. “Echoing his boss’ criticisms, Gorka called CNN ‘fake news’ while mocking Cooper’s ratings; the CNN host said he was using insults to avoid answering questions.”

The AP adds: “Talking about the interview later, Cooper said the insults were Gorka’s shtick and that he doesn’t worry about them. His reference to ‘the Hungarian Don Rickles’ recalled the late comedian, who would target audience members with biting remarks.”

Here’s Cooper’s interview Wednesday with Gorka …

  1. Would you expect anything else from a Trump servant?

  2. I don’t even understand why he has that charlatan on, giving him airtime! He’s like a character out of The Munsters! Only not even remotely funny, unlike Don Rickles. He puts the ghoul in Hungarian Goulash! Didn’t he graduate from the Trump University of Hungary?

  3. Hahahaha ! “Dummy”, you should be “Redacted” Hahahahaha! My guy WON. Your gal LOST !!! Take a breath and go listen to a great song by the Eagles. It’s called “GET OVER IT” !!!! WINNING !!!!

  4. Sir William (and I use the term Sir loosely)
    Your “guy” didn’t “win”anything except maybe those stupid, unearned medals he wears on his chestt He’s just a bully with a bad accent, straight out of Central Casting!
    And referring to Andersom Cooper as a “gal” just exposes you as the ignorant homophobe you sre!
    That’s not winning, it’s LOSING!

  5. I took what Sir William said about guy and gal to mean Trump and Hillary, not Gorka and Cooper. Interesting how people interpret things so differently.

    RIGHT ON Rhianjane
    The typical left response, that’s why they believe in the fake news channels CCN, MSNBC etc

  7. And that is EXACTLY what I meant!! Score ANOTHER win for Conservatives and common sense! “Redacted” stop being such a HATER ! 🙂

  8. So if you try to remain calm when faced with something you disagree with you have the moral high ground? Is that the takeaway here? Logic, reason who needs that when you can use the emotion of calmness.
