"Putting out a blanket tweet... on the day somebody has died, implying that they were on antidepressants and that's what caused their suicide... seems irresponsible." @AndersonCooper addresses presidential candidate @MarWilliamson's mental health comments. cnn.it/2MA5nWC

Given that her husband told the NYTimes she'd been on medicine for anxiety & depression for years, in what way was that irresponsible Anderson? We could have had a conversation of nuance & import yet that's not what happened. Unfortunately all you did was attack & repeat yourself

Yep, in fairness Anderson, you did spend a lot of time on the attack.

Once again you handled the situation and attacks in a composed manner.

Anderson was clearly told to rip you apart. Please keep pressing the buttons, keep speaking up.

It’s not your place to make that public judgement about someone you don’t know, on the day they died. At the very least, it’s insensitive & inappropriate.

What the haters don’t realize is that the Lotus thrives in the swamp. Keep punching back when unfairly attacked, Miss Williamson.

The *day after* your tweet. You were most definitely in the wrong. nytimes.com/2018/06/06/style…

I wish you had credited your statement this way in the interview because I was left believing it a reckless assumption. That doesn’t mean that it wasn’t still a presumptuous statement— just because she was on antidepressants for years doesn’t mean she was at the time.

And all due respect if I were you, I’d watch that interview again- it came off that you were getting defensive and repeating yourself. I’ve been a donor and supporter but was really disappointed in how you handled this interview.

I agree with you Marianne. I felt for the first time ever that Anderson just did not give you a chance to reply. He kept cutting you off. I was very disappointed as I’ve watched Anderson for years. Tape him everyday as I trust and admire him. Terrific jounalist but not today.
