Anderson Cooper Struggles To Speak After Watching Weird Melania Trump Clip Live On Air

Anderson Cooper momentarily struggled to string a sentence together as he processed a bizarre video of Melania Trump promoting her new book.

“Sorry, it’s the first time I’m seeing that. That’s the weirdest promo I’ve ever seen,” the CNN host said after the clip was shown on air.

“Like, the lighting—,” he continued, making an unintelligible noise. “I’m sorry, I’ve written four books, I’ve never seen a promo like that.”

Chuckling, Cooper stammered some more: “I’m sorry, this, wow.”
