CNN host calls Trump’s latest controversial tweet 'racist, just plain and simple'

CNN host Anderson Cooper did not hold back when he addressed the latest controversy involving Donald Trump.

The US president attacked had NASCAR's only Black driver in a tweet, making a baseless accusation.

"If divisive, inflammatory racist words could kill the coronavirus, then the president of the United States would be headed to Stockholm right now to pick up his Nobel prize in medicine," the presenter said.

"He's trying to persuade the country that the virus is simply vanishing, or if that won't work, he's trying to divert people's attention elsewhere to smearing a Black NASCAR driver, supporting the Confederate flag and statues of traitors."
