Anderson Cooper on Monday called out the hypocrisy of White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham as he marked the 301st day since a formal press briefing of President Donald Trump s administration.

The host of CNN s Anderson Cooper 360 recalled a segment he delivered in October in which he sarcastically mocked Grisham for accusing the media of getting into a tizzy with its reporting over the initial developments in the Ukraine scandal. Grisham fired back, claiming CNN has lost sight of the fact that we are human beings.

Cooper on Monday claimed Grishams criticism had given him real pause.

I actually was concerned about that idea, he said. I thought about it, have I lost sight that she and others who are lying frequently are human beings? I actually did some serious soul searching, Im not kidding.

But just days later, Cooper noted, Grisham defended Trumps description of Never Trumper Republicans as human scum .

Its funny how Miss Grisham has gone from we are human beings to they are human scum. And its like in no time, said Cooper. Its funny and its not funny, at the same time. Its actually really kind of sad. Of course, these are all things that reporters would be able to ask Ms. Grisham about if she ever actually ever did what every one of her predecessors has done, which is stand up and answer questions from reporters.
