Twitter Trolls Lob Homophobic Attacks At Debate Moderator Anderson Cooper

The deplorables were NOT having him.
From: NewNowNext

 This past weekend Anderson Cooper became the first out gay man to moderate a general election debate.

It was historic, but not everyone felt that it was a good thing. Especially some of Donald Trump’s supporters—who were vocal and focused on Cooper’s sexuality and not the issues being addressed by the candidates.

They took their anger out on Twitter, some of which you can read below. Be warned they are full of graphic and homophobic slurs:

Anderson Cooper is a Traitorous Faggot.

Trump should throw him in a dungeon.#debate

Doesn't surprise me that Anderson Cooper has never heard this kind of talk about women.

He's a faggot. Only talks about guys. #debate

It's locker room talk, Anderson. You're gay, you wouldn't understand. Pull your skirt up. #debate

Anderson Cooper is nothing but a big homo.

Thankfully there were plenty of people who loved Cooper as a moderator:

The way Trump supporters treated Anderson Cooper at the debate reveals the homophobia that Trump's culture of discrimination encourages.
