‘You know, and we’ve seen it in Bosnia, we’ve seen it in Rwanda, where radio was telling people that you know, Hutus, were telling the radio listeners that Tutsi were cockroaches for you know, getting them ginned up for genocide’

EXCERPT:

COOPER: "You know, part of that, I think just based on what you were just saying, it comes to mind the idea of other rising people and is something I think we saw a lot of over the last four years. I mean, certainly we've seen a lot over the last decades, but it's so easy to otherwise people, to make people other than -- other than American, other than patriotic, other than human, you know, and we've seen it in Bosnia, we've seen it in Rwanda where a radio was telling people that, you know, Hutus, were telling the radio listeners that Tutsi were cockroaches for, you know, getting them ginned up for genocide. And you see it in -- in these videos where people who claim they are patriots are in the face of a police officer calling him, you know, as we're seeing it right there and, you know, gouging out of the eye of one, you know, squeezing one, and you know, suffocating one in a doorway."
