Hours after Doug Jones defeated Roy Moore in Alabama last night, and following President Trump's 'congratulations' tweet, CNN's Anderson Cooper appeared to respond in a manner most un-becoming - calling the president a "pathetic loser"... Social media lit up - as one would expect - but Cooper has now clarified that 'his' outburst was not of his doing... 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. — Anderson Cooper (@andersoncooper) https://twitter.com/andersoncooper/status/940929891947745280?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],p=/^http:/.test(d.location)?'http':'https';if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src=p+"://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js";fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document,"script","twitter-wjs"); Echoing CNN's official statement on the matter... This morning someone gained access to the handle https://twitter.com/andersoncooper?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],p=/^http:/.test(d.location)?'http':'https';if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src=p+"://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js";fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document,"script","twitter-wjs"); and replied to POTUS. We're working with Twitter to secure the account. — CNN Communications (@CNNPR) https://twitter.com/CNNPR/status/940928101583917058?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],p=/^http:/.test(d.location)?'http':'https';if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src=p+"://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js";fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document,"script","twitter-wjs"); We are sure the hackers involved were Russian... when will there be a probe?
