CNN host Anderson Cooper, the moderator of Tuesday night's Democratic presidential debate, dismissed a Weekly Standard report claiming he was a member of the Clinton Global Initiative, a story amplified on The Drudge Report in the hours before the candidates hit the stage in Las Vegas. “With all due respect to the Weekly Standard," Cooper said, "this is total bunk” Cooper was asked about the story, which gained traction Tuesday in conservative media circles, during an appearance on CNN's "The Lead." The Weekly Standard described how Cooper had been listed as a "notable past member" of the organization, linking to a Mediaite story from May that mentioned several prominent journalists who shared that distinction. Cooper said that he moderated a panel at the Clinton Global Initiative in 2007, but he has had no ties to the organization or personal links to the Clintons in the years since.
