Jason Crow (D-CO) and Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ). \u201cYou two \u2026 have seen what civil wars look like up close,\u201d Cooper said to Rep. Crow, a former Army Ranger who served three terms in Iraq and Afghanistan, and Rep. Gallego, who served as an infantryman with the U.S. Marines in Iraq. \u201cYou both have seen up close, through the window of a Humvee, and out on the streets, what happens when a society collapses.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The host \u2014 whom CNN has increasingly tried to promote as its central anchor since the departure of its top-rated anchor, Chris Cuomo, last year \u2014 did not specify which television networks or podcasts \u201crelish\u201d or are \u201cpromoting\u201d the taking up of arms to overthrow the U.S. government. A scan of the transcripts of Fox News, Newsmax, and One America News Network turns up no incitements to violently seize power in the U.S. Capitol, while showing many condemnations of politically motivated violence.<\/p>\n<p>Yet Cooper forecast that these unnamed malefactors \u201cwill be swept up in [the forthcoming civil war] and destroyed, as well as everybody else. I mean, that is not anything anybody should even talk about, or wish, ever think about happening.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAbsolutely not,\u201d replied Rep. Gallego.<\/p>\n<p>None of the elected officials pushed back at the misinformation that broadcast television networks are praising terroristic violence.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Chatting with his pals in the Democratic Party, CNN&#8217;s Anderson Cooper claims &#8220;other networks&#8221; aka Fox News &#8220;relish the idea of sparking another civil war. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/i0z1cuJTdV\">pic.twitter.com\/i0z1cuJTdV<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NickFondacaro\/status\/1479282284725510148?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 7, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Despite the lack of specificity, Cooper spent much of this week warning CNN of an impending civil war. On Tuesday, he interviewed Barbara F. Walter of the University of California at San Diego and author of the forthcoming book \u201cHow Civil Wars Start: And How To Stop Them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the civil wars you looked at, how do civil wars get started? And how close do you think is the United States?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOver the last five years, I\u2019ve been watching what\u2019s happening here in my own country, and one of the things that I\u2019ve seen is that these same factors are emerging here in the United States \u2014 and they\u2019re emerging at a surprisingly fast rate,\u201d she replied.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat factors are you talking about? What specifically do you look at?\u201d Cooper asked. \u201cWhat are the parallels?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, we don\u2019t look at individual cases,\u201d Walter replied, saying that her research revolved entirely around a \u201cpredictive model\u201d generated by a computer.<\/p>\n<p>She eventually named a loss of \u201cdemocracy\u201d and the instability that takes place when societies \u201cbroke down along racial, ethnic and religious lines; formed political parties along those lines; and then tried to capture power, to exclude everyone else.\u201d<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">CNN\u2019s Anderson Cooper speaks with Barbara F.
