CNN’s Anderson Cooper mocked the competition after a technical glitch hit the first Democratic debate Wednesday evening.
The swipe came after Cooper named the 10 candidates who participated in the event that had just concluded.
“With us here tonight a team that is almost as large and certainly no less eminent. The best political team on television,” Cooper said, introducing his post-debate panel. “Hopefully we won’t have the sound problems, helping to break down what happened in Miami.”
Cooper then cut to show key moments from the two-hour debate.
The glitch caused all the microphones of the 10 candidates to be turned on, causing moderators Chuck Todd and Rachel Maddow to cut to commercial.
The first debate, which takes place Wednesday and Thursday evenings, is being hosted by NBC, MSNBC, and Telemundo. President Trump mocked NBC and MSNBC for the debacle.
.@NBCNews and @MSNBC should be ashamed of themselves for having such a horrible technical breakdown in the middle of the debate. Truly unprofessional and only worthy of a FAKE NEWS Organization, which they are!
