Anderson Cooper Responds to Backlash Over Trump Town Hall.
TL;DR Summary
Anderson Cooper defended CNN's town hall with former President Donald Trump, condemning the "ridiculous lies" he told during the event but also admonishing critics who feel that CNN should have never held it. Cooper ultimately defended CNN's decision to host the forum, saying that even if audiences don't align with Trump's views, they need to keep abreast of his comments in case he is reelected in 2024. The town hall drew better ratings than usual for CNN's 8 p.m. news, but it attracted only 3.1 million viewers, which was less than last year's town hall with President Biden, and many of Trump's town halls on Fox News.
