“You’re creating a whole new alternate universe of facts, and that may be big in politics today, but it’s still, frankly, just bullshit,” the host told the former governor
“What’s sad is that you hadn’t actually learned that when it mattered. When you actually were the governor. You talk about working on criminal justice reform, there’s a lot of people in Chicago, there’s a lot of people in Illinois that actually spit up when you say that,” Cooper said. “Because when you were actually in power, and when you were actually governor and you could’ve actually helped thousands of people with clemency cases, you blew it off.
Then Blagojevich made some attempts at contrition, saying, “I didn’t know how corrupt the criminal justice system was until it did it to me.” But Cooper wasn’t having any of it. “You got out, you do have an obligation to at least admit what you did wrong, and you refuse to do that,” Cooper continued. “You’re creating a whole new alternate universe of facts, and that may be big in politics today, but it’s still, frankly, just bullshit”
