Anderson Cooper and CNN said the anchor's Twitter account had been hacked after a tweet went out from Anderson calling Donald Trump a “pathetic loser” in response to Trump's tweet claiming he knew Roy Moore would lose.
Said the alleged hacked Cooper tweet: “Oh Really? You endorsed him you tool! Pathetic loser.”
Cooper later tweeted: “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.”
