    On CNN, she explained why she preferred the word “fight” to “rape”: “I think most people think rape is sexy. Think of the fantasies.” (She explained later that she was referring to romance novels that depict men ravishing women. “This was not thrilling, this was a fight,” she said. “A fight where I’m stamping on his feet and I think I’m banging him on the head with my purse.”)

    Carroll: "I think most people think of rape as being sexy."

    Cooper: "Let's take a short break --"

    Carroll: "Think of the fantasies."

    Cooper: "We're going to take a quick break. If you can stick around, we'll talk more on the other side."

    Carroll: [coy smile] "You're fascinating to talk to."

    If she really thinks that "most people think of rape as being sexy", and that it is the stuff of fantasies, then there's something seriously wrong with her.

    You should look up the clip. It's almost comical how obviously rattled Cooper was by the unexpected turn in the conversation. He couldn't get to the commercial break fast enough.

          But that was EDITED!!!! She didn't really bob her head like that or say what the video shows she said!
          The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

              I heard that the program director peed her pants.

                I am wondering how she even got on the air without anyone noticing what a crackpot she was? Don't they do pre-interviews?

                  Usually, yes, but maybe she can "play normal".

                    They should have used that old Lawyer saying, "Never ask a question you don't already know the answer to"

                      Also, look at his body language. He kept leaning further and further back trying to get away from the crazy until he was sitting at a 45-degree.

                        That was edited, too! He was actually leaning IN, but.. um.. the... CAMERA ANGLE --- yeah, that's it..... you guys are being fooled by an EDITED video!

                          actually watching it again, she sounds drunk. That could explain why they didn't catch it in a pre-interview.

                            Ah... forced perspectives, Penrose Triangles and the Ames Room. The understanding of which are all necessary to being a successful rogue

                              That might also be due to drugs/meds having kicked in.
