Anderson Cooper Rips Into Las Vegas Mayor For Pushing to Reopen Casinos: ‘How Is That Safe?’ — Watch
Anderson Cooper, 52, grilled Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn Goodman, 81, about her advocacy to re-open casinos in Sin City amidst the Coronavirus outbreak. “You’re talking about encouraging hundreds of thousands of people to come to Las Vegas,” Anderson questioned in an interview on CNN Wednesday, April 22. “I get the financial losses people are suffering, which is awful. But you’re encouraging hundreds of thousands of people coming there in casinos — smoking, drinking, touching slot machines, breathing circulated air — and then returning home to states around America and countries around the world,” the news anchor continued. “Doesn’t that sound like a virus petri dish? I mean, how is that safe?” he then asked.
