WHAT?! CNN’s Cooper Compares Trump, Supporters to Hutus in Rwandan Genocide

uesday night on CNN, AC360 host Anderson Cooper added to the Jeffrey Zucker-led network’s resume of hate against those they disagree with as he compared former President Donald Trump and his supporters to those that carried out the Bosnian and Rwanda genocides in the 1990s.

And to underscore Cooper’s seriousness, a NewsBusters search found that he also leveled these comparisons back on January 12.

To give you an idea of just how callous this comparison was, 8,000 men were slaughtered in July 1995 during the 1992-1995 Bosnian War that killed over 100,000 people. Over in Rwanda, more 800,000 moderate Hutus and Tutsis were killed over three months in 1994 by the Hutu extremists.

Cooper was speaking Tuesday with Congressman Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) when he lamented that a feature of our political discourse has been “otherizing people” and make them “other than American, other than patriotic, other than — than human.”
