NEW YORK (AP) — CNN says Anderson Cooper’s Twitter account was hacked after a since-removed tweet from his handle called the president a “tool” and a “pathetic loser” following Democrat Doug Jones win in Alabama’s Senate election.
The cable network tweeted early Wednesday that “someone gained access” to Anderson’s account and sent the tweet to the president. “We’re working with Twitter to secure the account,” it said.
Cooper in his own tweet says he woke up to find out “someone gained access” to his account. He says he has “not sent a tweet in days or replied to any tweets.”
The apparently rogue tweet came in response to President Donald Trump explaining why Republican Roy Moore wasn’t able to win the race. “Oh, really? You endorsed him tool! Pathetic loser,” read the tweet.
a “tool” and a “pathetic loser”
I always thought hacker’s were smart. This proves it…
If Cooper had tweeted it, I’d have no complaint. Though has anyone thought that the excuse “someone hacked my account” people use after tweeting something they shouldn’t have is now valid? Provided Cooper didn’t actually tweet it.
I’m sure it’s just an amazing coincidence that the Trump Administration’s most vocal critics are the ones being smeared with all these hacks, forgeries, and flimsy accusations. I smell a series of Stone/O’Keefe operations.
It’s almost as if someone has a vested interest in encouraging distrust and antagonism between the institutions that make America strong.
Nononono… We should put the blame in the #metoo movement! Yeah, lets to that.
