Here's the Real Story Behind Anderson Cooper's Rude Tweet to President Trump

CNN's Anderson Cooper said Wednesday that someone had "gained access" to his Twitter account and sent out a tweet calling President Donald Trump a "pathetic loser".

The tweet responded to one from President Trump about the election for Alabama's U.S. Senate seat. I guess that really does mean that you can't believe everything that you read on the Internet.

CNN and Cooper's official explanation for the since deleted tweet is that Cooper's Twitter account was compromised.

CNN's communications team issued a statement on the social media platform, backing Cooper's claims that someone had gained unauthorized access to his account. "Roy worked hard but the deck was stacked against him!"

"Geolocation tools confirm that the tweet in question was not sent from Anderson Cooper's phone".

The 50-year-old said he hadn't tweeted "in days", nor had he sent any replies.

Prior to Wednesday, no new tweets were posted by the account since Sunday. 'We are looking into how this happened'.

A tweet like this is damaging for a highly regarded journalist like Cooper.

A CNN spokesperson then revealed in a statement to BuzzFeed News that the tweet had been sent from Cooper's assistant's phone by someone attending his gym.

They also revealed they're "working with Twitter to secure the account". However, it was allegedly posted from his assistant's phone after it was left "unlocked and unattended at the gym".
