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'.

A rational person might understand that there is a lot of ground between those two extremes. But the Left and Reason have never been formally introduced.
Little brown mouth cooper gets his pink panties in a wad. She may be a hypocrite but Coopie is worse.
“Yellow journalism, the media loves it.
Should be fired for his unprofessionalism (never mind the idiocy of his logic).”
Full on Yellow Journalism.
They say if you mention Nazi’s in an argument, you lose. But it hard not to say this guy Cooper is going full-on Goebbels.
The new Left position:
Fully accept and CELEBRATE gayness, or you are a homosexual mass murderer supporter.
Cut and dry, black and white, etc., etc.
“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”
And he knows this how? Does Anderson have video / audio of every spoken word of every Politician at the State level. To bad Pam didn’t call him out.
Hopefully, she will be our next governor.
She is also an excellent speaker and spoke a few years ago at our Reagan day dinner/fundraiser here in the Keys to a packed crowd.I got to meet her and she is the real deal.
Laz better be careful she might kick his ass...LOL!
Exactly. Leftists can't understand the concept of living peacefully with those that they disagree with. Their brains can't even process it. It's also what makes conservatives such push-overs. They don't understand that leftists really wouldn't care if they were all dead. They think leftists are just a bit dramatic. NO, STUPID REPUBLICANS! LEFTISTS WANT YOU DEAD!!! HOW CAN YOU NOT GET THAT?
Cooper the hypocrite. A gay democrat islamist shoots up a bunch of gays and he wants to blame a conservative republican.
Wow, good call!

Christians know that you can disagree with someone without hating them.
Leftists assume that people who disagree with them hate and secretly want to kill them, because they would gladly kill those who disagree with them, if they were in a position to do so.
The left is full of incurable delusion. Their truth is whatever their brain tells them, and there is something wrong with their brains. Quite scary.
...because everybody knows the jihadis listen to what the attorney general says, not their radical imam at the local mosque.
I am sure the killer hung on to her every word. (Sarc.)
Cooper (and some others in the gay community) can’t process that a gay was shooting up gays, so she’s looking for someone to blame - republicans, straights, guns, women, Christians, Jews, men, anything but gays and muslims and certainly not in combination.
Guess idiot Cooper wasn’t aware the shooter was gay (appropriate place to use that moniker). Now that the truth is out, are homosexuals going to change their Orlando agenda?
Cooper’s attitude and those of his homo-fascist brethren totally exemplifies why I find it impossible to have any sympathy whatsoever for these demented creeps, even when victimized.
They DEMAND you celebrate and cowtow to their perversions. There’s just no compromising, and the field-posts keep moving. They’re as bad and as mentally deranged as the Muzzies. Weak, broken, soulless people who garner their worth through twisted games of submission.
