Early Wednesday morning, Anderson Cooper‘s Twitter account fired back at Donald Trump, calling him a “pathetic loser” after Trump insinuated he knew Roy Moore wouldn’t win the general election on Tuesday night:
“Oh Really?” the Tweet reads. “You endorsed him you tool [sic]! Pathetic loser.”

Cooper acknowledged the Tweet later in the day, insisting his account was hacked:
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“just woke up to find out someone gained access to my twitter account. i have not sent a tweet in days or replied to any tweets. We are looking into how this happened.”

CNN also made a statement regarding the tweet:
“This morning someone gained access to the handle
@andersoncooper and replied to POTUS. We’re working with Twitter to secure the account.”

Before all of Mo Bros sreenames get in here to scream about this, if they haven’t complained about Sean Hannity or the folks on Fox and Friends attacking Obama including racial attacks, then don’t come in here with the fake outrage on this.
Times up girls, Bye!

Lol
Rex Huskey
you really should forgive mo bro for impregnating you and causing you to shit out chrissyK. forgiveness is good for the soul!
daddybear
Of course not but it’s still fun to imagine this as Cooper’s tweet version of the famous eye roll.
DCguy
Awwww, Rex Huskey, still mad that we called you out at Mo Bros new screename the FIRST TIME you posted?
Brody
Cooper’s account must’ve been hacked.
Liberal one-percenters never behave like tantruming children.
Case closed.
Brian
I actually believe this one. I’m not crazy about the guy, but I definitely think he is media savvy enough not to do stuff like that.
Then again, maybe he was just drunk.
Brody
I thought the same, Brian (that he was slightly ahead of his game to act so rashly), but then I remembered the instances in which he rolled his eyes at KellyAnne Conway on camera, and his remark to Jeffrey Lord that he, Lord, would defend Trump if he “took a dump on his desk,” all while insisting that AC360 is neutral and unbiased.
So no, it’s not too much of a stretch for me to imagine him throwing a Twitter tantrum and then blaming it on the deviance an anonymous right-wing “hacker.”
Rex Huskey
he just woke up after bumping pussies with that zero co-hen. cluck cluck
DCguy
Oh look, one of Mo Bros screenames lashes out with an anti-lgbt attack. My My My, it’s almost as if you’re a troll that hates lgbts…….hmmmmmm
Xzamilloh
You know Kathy Griffin did it lmao!!
Jack Meoff
The tweet looks like it was sent by someone semi illiterate so I tend believe Cooper on this. If he was going to attack Trump he would have done it with more flair.
DCguy
Apparently Cooper was in DC and the tweet was sent from NYC.
