Anderson Cooper: Florida AG Pam Bondi Either ‘Mistaken or Not Telling the Truth’
During a live interview with Bondi on Monday, Cooper voiced concerns that the Republican official was engaging in hypocrisy for embracing the LGBT community following the mass shooting at the Pulse nightclub after previously arguing against their civil rights in court.
“Do you really think you’re a champion of the gay community?” Cooper asked Bondi, who was clearly taken aback by the line of questioning. “I have never really seen you talk about gays and lesbians and transgender people in a positive way until now,” Cooper added later in the interview.

After playing a clip of Bondi’s radio appearance, Cooper pushed back at her suggestion that she had been booked to speak about scams surrounding fundraising for victims, holding up his pre-interview notes as evidence. Cooper also stressed that the unedited interview aired in full on CNN and that he had no control over a cut-down version that appeared on CNN’s website after the fact.
“Let's be real here. Ms. Bondi’s big complaint seems to be that I asked in the wake of a massacre of gay and lesbian citizens about her new statements about the gay community and about her old ones,” Cooper said. “For the record, my interview was not filled with any anger. I was respectful before the interview, I was respectful during the interview, and I was respectful after the interview.” He added that he doesn’t believe Bondi has “hatred in her heart.”

She is such a liar. Her interview on the radio is filled with her half-truths and innuendo. I'm glad that Anderson Cooper went after her. She is a spiteful woman who is only after herself.
