Anderson Cooper tells Las Vegas mayor she’s making ‘really ignorant’ argument during coronavirus debate

CNN anchor Anderson Cooper appeared visibly annoyed by Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn Goodman Wednesday as they discussed her push for the city to reopen its businesses during the coronavirus pandemic.

At one point, Cooper attempted to illustrate the coronavirus’ danger by citing Chinese research on how the virus spreads.

“Oh, you are good. Anderson, you are tough,” Goodman said mockingly. “We’re back to China, this isn’t China. This is Las Vegas, Nevada.”

“Wow,” Cooper responded, “OK, that’s really ignorant.”

“That’s ignorant to say?” Goodman asked, as a graphic of a restaurant in China appeared on the screen.

“That’s an ignorant statement,” responded Cooper, who also seemed distressed when Goodman said she loved watching her people being “careful” during the pandemic. As she spoke, he took off his glasses, rubbed his eyes, and let out a sigh.
