CNN star host Anderson Cooper apparently found it difficult to follow Jacob Blake Sr., the father of the Kenosha police shooting victim, who used a rather poetic way to express his grief and outrage during an interview.
Cooper invited Blake on his show to discuss the latest developments in his son’s ordeal, but apparently was not prepared for his guest’s way of describing his feelings. The journalist asked Blake what he thought about claims made by a Kenosha police union that his son was armed with a knife and fought with officers before being shot seven times in the back by one of them.
“Some say Brussels sprouts taste good,” the father said in response. A pause hung in the air for several seconds before Cooper finally said, “I don’t get the reference,” prompting Blake to explain, “I hate Brussels sprouts.”
