On Friday night, CNN’s Anderson Cooper apparently reached his absolute limit with Trump surrogate Jeffrey Lord’s constant excuses for President Donald Trump’s lawless, erratic behavior.

Paraphrasing a tweet by Rob Reiner from earlier Friday, Cooper said, “If he took a dump on his desk you would defend it.”

Reiner’s original tweet said, “Only way Trump could disgrace this nation more is if he took a shit in the Oval Office.”

Twitter users handled the (fecal?) matter with their usual level of taste, decorum and tact. Hahaha, actually, it was a sh*tshow, so to speak.

Anderson Cooper is right. If Trump shit on Jeffrey Lord's desk, Jeffrey would bronze it and set it on his mantle. @cspanwj https://t.co/QmiUMcqc0X — Chris In Alabama (@ChrisNBama) May 20, 2017
