Good one, Anderson Cooper.

The CNN anchor on Monday skewered Scottie Nell Hughes, one of Donald Trump’s most visible and committed surrogates, for insisting that Trump is winning despite strong poll evidence to the contrary.

“The only place that we’re hearing that Donald Trump honestly is losing is in the media or these polls,” said Hughes, the political editor at Right Alerts. “You’re not seeing it with the crowd rallies, you’re not seeing the enthusiasm, you’re not seeing it on social media, where Donald Trump is two to three times more than Hillary Clinton on every social media platform.”

Yep, that’s a burn.
