CNN's Anderson Cooper was a guest on Howard Stern's radio show and made a surprising statement: “I don't think I'm going to vote. I don't think reporters should vote," said Cooper.
Co-Host Robin Quivers responded: “That's like you're not a citizen!”
“A lot of reporters don't vote,” Cooper replied. “It's a thing. It's happened to me.
“There have been years when I have voted because sometimes I felt maybe I should,” Cooper explained, “and then sometimes I go back and forth on this.”
“I am shocked by this,” Stern stated. “But you're an American, and you should care.”
“I don’t want to be influenced one way or the other,” the anchor replied.
“But people in other countries don't have this right,” Quivers said.
“My role is to ask questions,” Cooper stated simply.
“This might be the most shocking thing I've heard,” Stern noted.
“I've gone back and forth on it over my life,” the CNN anchor added, “so there have been some years when I voted.”
“When's the last time you voted?” Stern asked.
“I honestly can't remember,” Cooper responded.
Cooper also told Stern he actively fights against taking a stand in favor of a candidate. “I think it’s something you need to actively fight against and push against,” Cooper asserted.
