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'.

Did he ask him about that?
Cooper sounds butt-hurt,...but that may be because he was out last night.
I think they’re trying to get rid of Christians and Judaism.
“He reminded her of when she said allowing same-sex marriage would bring ‘significant public harm’ to the state.”
Apparently it did.
You and I both know that they wish it was a conservative Christian man that went in there and did that because it would perfectly fulfill their narrative. It would be bonus if the guy was wearing a Trump hat too.
When you’re a progressive media whore you dance on the dead, it’s what you do!
