CNNs Anderson Cooper quickly cut to commercial Monday after the anchor was visibly taken aback by a comment from Elle columnist E. Jean Carroll.

Carroll, a longtime advice columnist, recently came forward to accuse President Donald Trump of raping her decades ago in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in New York City. She spoke to Cooper about the alleged incident during a segment of “AC 360,” characterizing it in a way that appeared to make him uncomfortable.

Cooper interrupted then, saying, “I think most people think of rape as a … it is a violent assault, it is not sexual.”

Carroll, nodding her head, fired back, “I think most people think of rape as being sexy. Think of the fantasies.”

Cooper seemed to stumble over his words as he immediately announced that the show was “going to take a short break.”
