Following anti-Trump tweet, CNN says Anderson Cooper’s Twitter account was hacked

TheWrap

Cooper’s Twitter account surprised his followers when it called President Trump a "pathetic loser" in response to the president's early morning tweet about Roy Moore. Soon after, Cooper tweeted: “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.” CNN’s PR Twitter account also responded: “This morning someone gained access to the handle @andersoncooper and replied to POTUS. We're working with Twitter to secure the account.” 

UPDATE: CNN says the anti-Trump tweet occured when his assistant left his phone unattended at the gym.
