For years now, the liberal media have been telling us the country is in a “cold civil war” or a “neo-civil war” because people and policies they don’t like have popularity. But according to CNN’s Anderson Cooper during the network’s January 6 primetime special (Live from the Capitol: January 6th and One Year Later) it was the folks at “other networks” – aka Fox News – that were “relishing the idea” of sparking another civil war in America.
Cooper’s grotesque comment came during a conversation with his panel of all Democratic members of Congress, but was specifically directed at Representatives Jason Crow (D-CO) and Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) because they both had served overseas (Crow was a captain in Army and Gallego was a corporal in the Marines):
These people are the ones who promote that on podcasts now, and in other networks.People who don’t have the experience of service or have never seen it, will likely be caught up in it as everyone else. That is something that no one should ever talk about, or even wish to consider.
For context, CNN’s habit of using the phrase “other networks” when they want to vaguely hint at Fox News and their purported actions.
“For people who have been in combat, for you two who have seen what civil wars look like up close, who have seen what looks like — what it looks like up close when there are the tribalization of countries, the polarization,” Cooper noted. “There’s a lot of people who throw around the term ‘civil war.’ And some on podcasts seem to relish the idea of the destruction of society.”
Over 45 minutes later, Cooper was speaking to Democratic Maryland Representative Jamie Raskin about grief and healing (since Raskin was in the Capitol the day of the riot shortly after his son passed away) when he suggested certain “media” were keeping us from coming together:
That is not the only problem of COVID, but any trauma. You feel isolated. Your grief makes you feel lonely. There is no one who understands your grief.This country has become polarized, and people are isolated from each other by viruses, media, or any other means.How can you bring people together? How can this nation heal and progress?
CNN does not see hatred from these people as a problem.
Yet before Cooper could dive into his dirty smearing of Fox News, Jake Tapper had his go at sliming “other channels” by suggesting they were against the Capitol police officers who fought against the violent rioters:
Just to be clear, while other people may make fun of your efforts and others from other regions of the nation, they will not judge you. Every one of them is a hero.Your actions were not only to save lives, but you also stood for democracy. While you saved the lives of those who were serving today in this building, you also helped the republic.
Speaking of bravery, why couldn’t either of these men speak up and name names? Who called for a civil conflict? Who were you against police officers? That’s because if they did, then they would need to prove their accusations.
CNN’s underhanded attacks against Fox News was made possible because of lucrative sponsorships from Liberty Mutual and Panera Bread. You can find their contact information here.

JAKE TAPPER – Let me say that while people in other areas of the country might make fun of you and those you helped to keep the line, you are all heroes.

ANDERSON COOPER (to Reps. Jason Crow, (D-CO), and Ruben Galego (D–AZ)): This is for people who are combat veterans, who see what civil wars look up close. It’s also important to note what happens when countries become tribalized or polarized. There’s a lot of people who throw around the term “civil war.” And some on podcasts seem to relish the idea of the destruction of society.
We have both seen, from the inside of a Humvee, and on the streets what happens to a society that has collapsed.
Podcast hosts and others who encourage it will soon be caught up and disowned. That is something that no one should ever talk about, or even wish to consider.

COOPER (to Rep. Jamie Raskin(D-MD).): One of the difficulties of COVID, and any trauma, is its isolation. Your grief can make you feel lonely. It feels like no one can understand what you are going through. This country has become polarized, and everyone feels isolated. Is there a way to come together? How can this nation heal and progress?
