Anderson Cooper is fed up with online conspiracy theorists and cable news cranks looking to get into a mutually beneficial beef that will boost their ratings.
The CNN host tore into Donald Trump Jr. on Monday night after the presidents son claimed that Cooper was faking the depths of floodwaters in North Carolina in an attempt to make his father look bad.
Trump Jr. tweeted a photo of Cooper standing in waist-high floodwater while a nearby camera crew stands filming in only a little bit of water. The only problem with the photo is that it wasnt taken during Hurricane Florence, it was taken a decade ago during Hurricane Ike.

The idea that I am kneeling in water to make it look deep is frankly idiotic, Cooper said before explaining why his crew were pictured standing on higher ground.
Cooper, who has covered hurricanes for about 14 years, said that he had debated whether he should respond to Donald Trumps son, particularly given the fact that he doesnt expect him to ever admit he was wrong.

Is he trying to earn brownie points? We all know the fucking moron loves one of his spawn a lot more than the rest of them (yuk).
