Anderson Cooper dispelling Trump lie about white genocide in South Africa:

[applegrove]

Of course the the white genocide story from the orange dingus was a lie. The real news would be if he ever told the truth.

1. Yes, Cooper showed integrity when he walked away from CBS.

I don't know how much courage it took. Most people fear losing or leaving a job because of losing their income. Doesn't Cooper have his own wealth?

3. Yes, he is a Vanderbilt heir.

He is heir to the prominent Vanderbilt family dynasty, specifically inheriting the majority of the estate of his mother, artist and fashion designer Gloria Vanderbilt, when she died in 2019. He is the great-great-great-grandson of shipping and railroad tycoon Cornelius Vanderbilt.

2. As Cooper noted, of the 6 farmers killed, 5 were black. Why weren't those black farmers' families given asylum?

These crimes were not about race, they were about robberies.

4. This is really great news

Thank you Anderson
