(25,589 posts)1. he handles protesters really well
I think it was one of the debates some protesters from a transgender group interrupted. and he is good at welcoming them in to discuss their issues. it was a debate or townhall with Anderson Cooper.

I really respect the way he handles things.
I'm sure the protestors have their reasons for this disruption, but I dislike in the extreme the way they go about it.

But some are only looking to disrupt and aren't interested in an exchange. I'd say they disrupted poorly.
Not sure what the point behind all the effort is. After all the time it took from getting into the venue until the start of the event, they then have to leave within seconds of the protest instead of accepting the chance to discuss the topic they pretend to care about.
