CNN’s Anderson Cooper devoted ten minutes of his program on Monday night responding to “FAKE NEWS” in the form of a tweet from the President’s son, and debunking the notion that he stood in waist-deep water to fake a shot.
That claim started to circulate after Donald Trump Jr reposted an image suggesting it was from Hurricane Florence this past weekend.
‘I know he considers himself an outdoorsman who pays a lot of money to be led to wildlife in Africa that he then kills,’ said Cooper of Don Jr.
Cooper said the shot, taken during Hurricane Ike in 2008, was to show how the flooding was affecting areas, and hit out at Don Jr suggesting the photo was new.
Don Jr did not actually state that the photo was from Hurricane Florence, which the first son later pointed out, though it was assumed to be by many of his followers.
