Anderson Cooper is showing (and telling) us how he really feels about Trump's supporters. Following that epic eye roll he gave Kellyanne Conway [1] when she last appeared on his show, Cooper found himself dishing a little too much truth when he suggested CNN commentator and Trump supporter, Jefferey Lord, would defend the president "if he took a dump on his desk." Watch the jaw-dropping moment unfold below.

Immediately after, Cooper issued an apology to Lord, saying he regretted "the crude sentence." Read his tweeted apology and social media's reaction to his remark ahead.

I regret the crude sentence i spoke earlier tonight and followed it up by apologizing on air. It was unprofessional. I am genuinely sorry.

Not necessary. No need to apologize for scolding Jeffrey Lord. If you want to apologize, apologize for enabling him by having him on so much https://t.co/vrrWlIFPHr [10]
