CNN host Anderson Cooper slams Florida's Attorney General for being a 'hypocrite
UK Daily Mail ^ | June 14, 2016 | Wills Robinson

CNN host Anderson Cooper has slammed Florida's Attorney General for her LGBT views in the wake of the Orlando massacre.

The journalist accused Pam Bondi of hypocrisy during an interview outside the hospital where people caught up in Omar Mateen's deadly rampage are being treated.

He reminded her of when she said allowing same-sex marriage would bring 'significant public harm' to the state.

A few days ago, shortly after horrific terrorist attack that left 49 people dead, she said anyone who went against the LGBT community will be met by the full extent of the law.

But Cooper, who is gay, began the heated segment by saying: 'I talked to a lot of gay and lesbian people here yesterday, who are not fans of yours.

'They thought you were being a hypocrite... Do you really think you’re a champion of the gay community?'

'I’ve never said I don’t like gay people,' she responded.

She also tried to defend herself by saying she was trying to protect Florida's constitution when she made the remarks.

The broadcaster then questioned whether she thinks her remarks would influence people who could be violent towards the gay community.

He then said: 'Is it hypocritical to portray yourself as a champion of the gay community? I’m just reflecting what a lot of gay people have told me. They don’t see you as that.'

Bondi then retorted that today was about the victims

She said: 'I’m not portraying myself as anything, other than trying to help human beings.'

'I’m not championing anything other than Floridians.'

Cooper then said: 'I will say I have never really seen you talk about gays and lesbians and transgender people in a positive way, until now.

'People in the state want to know that you are representing everybody'.

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.

______

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

The pansies are confused as to who their real enemy is. They’re children. Freud had it right.

So Pam Bondi murdered these gays because she opposed gay marriage?

Anderson Cooper is a sodomite and she should have kicked him in his useless nuts on national TV for asking those ignorant questions

I’ve seen a lot of loony takes from the left over this event. Many of them are along the lines of “don’t state your sympathy over what happened if you oppose gay marriage.” I guess it is impossible (according to the left) to be against gay marriage and murder/terrorism.

Actually, progressivism as it now stands is both stupid and wicked.

Anderson Scooper couldn’t go after Trump, not after what he said yesterday in his speech, he couldn’t go after the Butcher of Benghazi or Hussein, he had to go after some one, so here she is...

It was a horse and pony show, all of it, just to make him feel important because he’s ‘one of them’....

I love Obamaland.

Some Muslim lunatic goes crazy and kills gay people and it’s still my fault.

When you look at underlying intentions and actual outcomes, the truth of it is more like:
Republicans are stupid, and
Democrats are evil

RE: “Charles Krauthammer said it this way:
Conservatives think Progressives are stupid,
Progressives think Conservatives are evil.

Stopped right there, he, in this action, is NOT A JOURNALIST but is a commentator and editorialist. There used to be a difference when the street guys started as cub reporters. Not anymore ...

Everyone is getting slammed by the ‘Rats and their Media hacks. Everyone, that is, except Barack Obama and Muslims.

I’m almost at the point where I say that America deserves its next terrorist attack.

The sick-o poofter probably can’t stop thinking about man-boy sex long enough to have a coherent thought.
