Trump Criticized for Mocking Anderson Cooper with Gendered Insult

Donald Trump repeatedly referred to CNN's Anderson Cooper by a woman's name in a bid to appeal to conservative male voters.

  • Donald Trump has referred to openly gay CNN anchor Anderson Cooper as 'Allison Cooper' during recent rallies and on social media.
  • Trump's remarks were made during rallies in Michigan and Pennsylvania, as well as on his social media platform, Truth Social.
  • The comments are part of Trump's strategy to appeal to conservative male voters in the final days of the presidential race.
  • Critics argue that Trump's use of a woman's name for Cooper is a derogatory tactic that perpetuates stereotypes about gay men.
  • Despite the negative rhetoric, a recent survey indicates that many voters view political attack ads targeting the LGBTQ+ community as excessive.
