Cooper Grills Florida AG On Gay Rights Record: ‘You Never Even Tweeted About Gay Pride Month!’
newsbusters.org ^ | 6/14/2016 | Kristine Marsh

On Tuesday’s CNN Newsroom, Anderson Cooper talked to Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi about what she was doing to help the victims of the Orlando nightclub shooting and their families. Instead of focusing on the topic at end, Cooper decided to attack Bondi on her gay rights record, relentlessly asking if she was a hypocrite for helping the gay community now when she allegedly didn’t defend them in office.

In the five minute interview, Cooper repeatedly asked Bondi to explain how she could defend the victims of this shooting after “years” of “basically going after gay people” in court. “Do you really think you're a champion of the gay community?” Cooper asked.

After Bondi defended her record, saying she had never said that she didn’t “like gay people” but was only defending Florida’s constitution, as she was sworn in to do,....

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. It is gay pride month. You never even tweeted about gay pride month.

Ruh Roh. Looks like I might be in trouble with mr pooper. I never tweeted about it either. Of course not having a twit account may be the reason. You rock Ms. Bondi. Keep upholding the FL constitution like you're supposed to. And some wonder why she got exasperated.

“You never even tweeted...”

Aw, come on. Does the AG have to have it on his calendar and do some forced, approved genuflection? He’d never get anything done if he did this for every identifiable cause.

Well, I gave the gay community a two day pass hoping they’d wake up enough to realize that islamics are after them as well as everybody else. But they’re as stupid as stones. All over the internet, they have twisted themselves into pretzels to believe this was a ‘fundie Christian’ act sponsored by the NRA.

I mean, you can’t fix stupid.

Prostrate yourself, white woman!

Bend down and kiss the rainbow flag!

Beg forgiveness, and raise your arm and salute the sacredness of gay marriage!

**************

Typical liberal tactic: Make a false statement and then try to get your opponent to address it. Bondi didn’t take the bait but most Republicans generally do. Its like the old trick question: When did you stop beating your wife?

Cooper is in 8th grade

“You didn’t tweet about my outfit yesterday. We can’t be friends anymore”.

“Her” calendar.

I was asking in the general sense, rather than the specific.

Maybe I should have used one of those newfangled neutral pronounds, like “zis” or “zer?”

We voted for her when we lived in Florida and were pleased with her record. Keep it real Pam. Don’t get pulled in like so many do by the msm and their gotcha questions. He may as well have asked “Why do you hate gay people?” I guess he did in a round about way. At least it was implied.

She should have said:

“Miss Cooper I will answer your question AFTER you ask Hillary Clinton how she can accept money from countries where being a homosexual is punishable by death. When you ask that question and get an answer I will reappear on your show.”

Lefties don’t understand this. They genuinely HATE people they disagree with...and assume everybody does.

LOL! I probably would have said “F O andy and never call me again with your BS gotcha questons.” But that’s just me and it’s got nothing to do with his preferences.
