In his first public statements and media interview, Anderson Cooper sits down with LA Clippers owner Donald Sterling.
Cooper – So Mr. Sterling, what do you think happened to Flight 370?
Sterling – When I listen to that tape, I don’t even know how I can say words like that. … I don’t know why the girl had me say those things.
Cooper – You’re saying you think 370 was a set up?
Sterling – Well yes, I was baited, I mean, that’s not the way I talk. I don’t talk about people for one thing, ever. I talk about ideas and other things. I don’t talk about people.
Cooper – So you believe Flight 370 was a set up and baited into disappearing with almost 300 people aboard?
Sterling – I spoke to a girl I was fond of. The girl is black. I like her. I’m jealous that she’s with other black guys. I want her. So what the hell, can I in private tell her, you know, ‘I don’t want you to be with anybody’?
Copper – Do you think the black Malaysian government is hiding something?
Sterling – I’m not a racist, I made a terrible, terrible mistake. And I’m here with you today to apologize and to ask for forgiveness for all the people that I’ve hurt.
Cooper – Do you think the racist plane will ever be found?
Sterling – The reason it’s hard for me, very hard for me, is that I’m wrong. I caused the problem. I don’t know how to correct it.
Cooper – There you have it America. Donald Sterling admits responsibility for the disappearance of Flight 370, doesn’t know where the plane is and doesn’t believe it will ever be found.
