Weird Moment on CNN as Trump Accuser Says ‘Most People Think of Rape as Being Sexy’

[See NewsBusters for more.] CNN anchor Anderson Cooper interviewed E. Jean Carroll on Monday, a woman who has accused Donald Trump of assaulting her in a dressing room back in the ‘90s. The interview, at times, took weird turns, including when Carroll described the reaction many have to the word rape as “fantasies” and “being sexy.” Cooper seemed so unnerved by the exchange that he immediately cut to break and talked over her. After telling the host that there was “penetration” in the assault, she added, “I was not thrown on the ground and ravished which the word rape carries so many sexual connotations. This was not sexual.” Cooper seemed clearly confused by this. Carroll then added, “I think most people think of rape as being sexy.”
