Really disgusted and disappointed by @andersoncooper – what a bizarre and needless attack.

This is indeed pretty disgusting.
CNN’s Anderson Cooper recently interviewed Florida AG Pam Bondi about her stance on gay rights:
Anderson Cooper just absolutely grilled Florida's GOP attorney general over LGBT rights https://t.co/HSIZ7pMw8K pic.twitter.com/KYf6J6S0Rk

“Grilling” Bondi meant suggesting that her opposition to same-sex marriage delegitimizes her concern for Florida’s LGBT community.
State AG defending voters' anti-SSM decision in court doesn't render her incapable of standing unequivocally against anti-gay terror. C'mon.

Oh, but it does! Because Anderson Cooper says so.
CNN claims it’s hypocritical to believe marriage is a union of man and wife and not want gay people killed by ISIS.

Quite possible to support gay marriage but also recognize there are principled objections to its legalization beyond ERMAGERD HOMOPHOBIA
— David Rutz (@DavidRutz) June 14, 2016
But Bondi is totes homophobic. You know how Anderson knows?
@guypbenson BUT SHE DIDN'T EVEN TWEET ABOUT PRIDE MONTH!

Transcript:
Cooper: I will say, I have never really seen you talk about gays and lesbians and transgendered people in a positive way until now. I read your Twitter history for the last year, and I saw you tweeting about, you know, National Dog Month and National Shelter Dog Appreciation Day or Adopt a Shelter Dog Month. You know, it is Gay Pride Month. You never even tweeted about Gay Pride Month.
OMG! Can you believe it???
“You’ve never even tweeted about Gay Pride Month.” Anderson Cooper’s new standard for public office. https://t.co/BC6PuB7hZ3

Holy moly. This isn’t journalism, Anderson. It’s pure B.S.
.@AC360 @andersoncooper Is monitoring @PamBondi's remarks for what you consider positive remarks about gays a full-time job? Or a hobby?

"You never even tweeted about Gay Pride Month." — @AndersonCooper, serious journalist, in the wake of an Islamic terror attack

@MZHemingway A terrorist fucking attack is just leverage for them to ride their social-issues hobbyhorse

Exit question:
Are there any videos of Anderson Cooper bravely berating a imam for not tweeting about pride month?

We’ll wait.
