Heads up on the Hoax Watch. Anderson Cooper didn’t call President Trump a “pathetic loser.”
But the CNN star’s Twitter account did.
Someone hacked Copper’s feed and replied to a presidential tweet that the “deck was stacked against” Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore, CNN said.
“Oh Really? You endorsed him you tool! Pathetic loser,” said the poorly punctuated tweet denied by Cooper.
CNN Communications explained: “This morning someone gained access to the handle @andersoncooper and replied to POTUS. We’re working with Twitter to secure the account.”

So @TwitterSupport, accounts were hacked but subscribers were not notified of said breach? Hackers don’t just violate a single account. Is this true or is @CNN @andersoncooper spinning? Not cool. #CyberSecurity #Twitter #Hack https://t.co/5Yl49exJKX via @YahooNews

Twitter users were working to find the humor.
