Anderson Cooper and Ana Navarro are urging people not to normalize Trump’s habit of degrading and insulting people after he called a reporter “piggy” last week.
The two CNN anchors spoke about the president’s shocking dismissal of Catherine Lucey, a Bloomberg reporter, whom he attempted to silence on Air Force One on Friday by saying “quiet, quiet, piggy!” when she asked a question.
“I know DEI [diversity, equity and inclusion] is not allowed anymore,” Cooper said Tuesday night on CNN. “And I know diversity and actually treating people with decency and human kindness is not, you know, what’s popular today in some quarters.”
“But, I just don’t understand how somebody acts like this time after time, and everyone just pretends like, ‘Oh, that’s just what this guy does,’” Cooper said incredulously.
Navarro said that people have “grown numb to it.”
