in reply to a Trump tweet about the Alabama Senate election. @andersoncooper then deleted that tweet and sent out this one:
A statement released by CNN later said the tweet came from Cooper’s assistant’s phone, which was commandeered by a hacker at the gym. Do you believe this story?
Yes. Cooper is well aware of the problem sending that tweet would cause him. So unless someone gives me a better reason to think he’s lying I’ll assume it was someone else.
Based ONLY on what you posted and my limited experience with Anderson Cooper and/or twitter, yes, sure. I’ll believe it. Does it matter? Why do you care?
To the best of my knowledge, Anderson Cooper has never gotten in a Twitter battle with Donald Trump. As a matter of fact, Cooper’s posts run on the dull side.
If the tweet was from Anderson’s Assistant’s phone - it could have been anyone typing on it. Why assume it was Anderson rather than say, the Assistant’s Boyfriend? Or Assistant’s Workout Buddy? Or Assistant’s Mom? It’s not Anderson’s phone.
The only thing I suspect is that the “hacker” will turn out to be someone who saw an unlocked phone and jumped at the opportunity.
So either late night drunk tweeting or an unsecured account. Either way, what was said is basically accurate. Trump did endorse Moore. Let the rest stand. I tend to believe he didn’t send it himself.
Twitter, bringing embarrassment to the unknown and the well known and thanks to Rump the entire nation.
I don’t believe the story. It seems like too much of a coincidence. Anderson’s assistant has an easily accessible phone? With easy access to Anderson’s twitter? And it was conveniently commandeered for just a bit at this opportune moment?
I’m more inclined to think the assistant did it. Forgot which account they were logged into and made up the hacker story. No real way to disprove so convenient excuse for all parties.
The Cooper Caper (as summarized by Jack Webb): “Cleaning woman Clara Clifford discovered your clean copper clappers, kept in a closet, were copped by Claude Cooper the kleptomaniac from Cleveland. Now is that about it?”
Damn, I clicked wrong. That’s what you get for voting when you’re trying to decide if you should or should not have that piece of chocolate making sad faces on a nearby box.
Cooper’s previous Tweets frankly suggest he might not even have been the guy doing most of it all along. They’re dull and lawyery. I can believe the hack explanation.
Had he been prone to tweets like that, I’d be more suspicious.
