i'm pretty sure that anderson cooper would have been that petty with sean spicer as well. >> kat: heer about donald trump's flip-flop with regards to comey and she responded by talking about how they won michigan. i feel like other people are rolling their eyes at home. i also believe in gender equality which means i believe in equal opportunity to have someone roll their eyes at you. >> eric: i am laughing hysterically. can you keep rolling that? >> eboni: it's hilarious. jamila, i kind of agree with kellyanne, if i had done that with the hillary clinton interview, i would have been lit up. >> if a hillary clinton spokesperson had said something as obnoxious and obnoxious and off-the-wall as kellyanne conway said, you would have been within your rights to roll your eyes until they fell out of your head. i will concede and bennie's point, it was unprofessional. when you are the news anchor, you suck it up and do it right. anderson had his fill and he rolled his eyes. >> eboni: i have a question for kat, did he forget we can see past the glasses? >> kat: i forget that sometimes. >> i

couple of contentious interviews on cnn this week including this moment which went viral with anderson cooper i was on i your show often last fall saying we were going to win duane michigan and how we were going to do it. howard: what did you make of the now-famous eye roll? >> first of all, a lot of folks want things to go viral. they think that's the job of the news media which it's not, of course. you should play the beginning of the clip where he had me sit through president trump, then-candidate trump on the stump in many different places praising jim comey, and it ended with grand rapids, michigan. i turned it around and said, thanks for the trip down memory lane, we loved winning michigan. he rolled his eyes. definitely what i call trumpist, which is many people are treated like house guests and when we go on tv, we're not. and the fact is that it was, you know, we were watching cnn ahead of time, you've got six to one panels against the president. one of us tries to go ott there on his behalf and state the case from the position of the president. the suspicion and derision just genera

. >> i used to think that anderson cooper was an adult and you could go google me right now, and you will see almost every comment i've ever written about him has been a positive review of something that he's done. yesterday, he reads a letter that trump wrote to comey and calls trump a fifth-grader. he then proceeds to act like a fifth-grader where you can see on your screen, kellyanne conway rolling his eyes repeatedly at her answers. let's put it this way because he's an anchor. he's not a host, he's not a shock jock. he is an anchor, he's the face of cnn. let's say bret baier had interviewed a senior female in administration official and valerie garrity a year ago and continually rolled his eyes in a condescending disdainful fashion. what he think the reaction would be? >> tucker: i don't think about it. >> it be the apocalypse. that's the only movie i can he see here. that was most disappointing to me because i thought anderson cooper was about that kind of behavior and instead of criticism from the media, you have cbs market watch saying that that was the eye roll heard round t
