Anderson Cooper has made it clear how he feels about working with Bari Weiss.

The star anchor, 59, has told colleagues at CNN that he does not want to work for the beleaguered CBS News chief, two sources told The New York Times. His comments came amid reports that Weiss is being considered for a top role at the network, which is slated to soon come under the control of Trump-friendly CEO David Ellison.

Representatives for CBS News and CNN did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Cooper concluded his two decades at CBS’ flagship broadcast, 60 Minutes, just months after Weiss was installed at the helm of the network.

“He wasn’t comfortable with the direction the show was taking under Bari, and is in a position where he doesn’t have to put up with it,” an insider told Status in February.
