Anderson Cooper shocked his viewers after he told fellow commentator Jeffrey Lord that he’d ‘defend Trump if he took a dump on his desk!’
The frustrated CNN host was discussing Trump’s recent ‘nut job’ comments about his recently fired FBI director James Comey.
‘You can’t defend what the president of the United States just said,’ Cooper told Lord during the live show on Friday.
‘I mean, I don’t know what he would do that you would not defend,’ Cooper back-paddled. ‘I mean, you’re a loyal guy, I think that speaks well of you.’
Cooper later apologized on Twitter for his comment saying: ‘I regret the crude sentence i spoke earlier tonight and followed it up by apologizing on air.
‘It was unprofessional. I am genuinely sorry,’ he wrote.
