Prior to the debate, conspiracy theorist Alex Jones said it would be moderated by “twinkle-toes, bite your pillow” Anderson Cooper. Donald Trump has previously referred to Cooper as “pretty pathetic.”

Among the choicest tweets during the debate, Cooper was called a “traitorous faggot,” a “CIA-puppet Vanderbilt faggot!” and an “obnoxious homo.”

One tweeter suggested that “Somebody shove a ball gag in Anderson Cooper’s faggot’s mouth.”

Before the debate, Trump said Cooper should not be a moderator because he “works for CNN, and over the last couple of days, I’ve seen how Anderson Cooper behaves He’ll be very biased, very biased. I don’t think he should be a moderator. I’ll participate, but I don’t think he should be a moderator. CNN is the Clinton News Network, and Anderson Cooper, I don’t think he can be fair.”
