Anderson Cooper calls out Donald Trump's "frankly idiotic" son for lying about storm photo

When Hurricane Ike hit 10 years ago, Anderson Cooper did a segment where he walked around in floodwaters while being filmed from higher ground, which he pointed out to viewers. Don Jr. tweeted a still photo taken from the segment and implied it depicted Anderson kneeling during last week's Hurricane Florence to make its floodwaters look deeper than they were. So Cooper did a whole new segment about what a lying idiot Don Jr. is.

Ive covered hurricanes for about 14 years and it really does make me sad to think that anyone would believe that I would try to fake something or overly-dramatize a disaster. I debated whether I should even respond to the presidents son. I know he believes himself to be an outdoorsman and pays a lot of money to be led to wildlife in Africa that he then kills, but Im not sure if hes ever actually been to a hurricane or flood. I didnt see him down in North Carolina in the last few days helping out, lending a hand, but Im sure he was busy doing something important besides just tweeting lies.
