— Anderson Cooper 360° (@AC360) October 10, 2016Given the last 48 hours, it's not surprising that Clinton did not shake Trump's hand. Especially considering that just before the debate, Trump held a press conference with women who had accused Bill Clinton of sexual assault — in essence, an attempt to justify his actions by pointing out someone else's. That's false equivalency. While it's unclear if the lack of gesture was intentional, the message was apparent.
