After President Donald Trump tried to spin his candidate, Roy Moore, losing into a victory, Anderson Cooper’s Twitter account clapped back.
The reason I originally endorsed Luther Strange (and his numbers went up mightily), is that I said Roy Moore will not be able to win the General Election. I was right! Roy worked hard but the deck was stacked against him!
