Recently, Anderson Cooper rolled his eyes at Kellyanne Conway, as reported by the Inquisitr , when Cooper was interviewing Kellyanne in the wake of Cooper returning to the forefront of news programs after a seemingly long absence. Anderson’s eye roll towards the heavens went viral as Conway waxed on about the latest drama and palace intrigue happening at the White House after FBI Director James Comey was fired. There were memes and GIFs and slowed down versions on Anderson’s eye roll. However, actor James Woods posted a tweet about the situation that is causing Woods to get slammed on Twitter, with calls for Twitter to ban Woods for hate speech.
As seen in the below screenshots claiming to be taken from the verified Twitter account named “James Woods,” at the Twitter handle @RealJamesWoods, the tweet shows a GIF of Cooper with language about Anderson’s butt plug dislodging. With at least 642,000 followers on Twitter, Woods’ tweet about Cooper soon went viral and got plenty of backlash. As of this writing, the tweet from Woods is still there on his Twitter feed, having been retweeted nearly 8,000 times and liked on Twitter more than 18,000 times. Anderson has not yet responded to the tweet by Woods.
Even Perez Hilton jumped into the Twitter fray, using his own GIF to call Woods a “disgusting, pathetic, delusional fool.” Posted to Twitter at 9:20 p.m. on May 11, the tweet from Woods remains defiantly alive as of writing and is bringing calls from Twitter users for Twitter to ban James as one propagating hate speech. For his part, Woods claimed on Saturday that the “liberals” were having a “hissy fit” in the wake of his tweet against the 49-year-old Cooper.
According to the Daily Mail , the tweet from James is being called crude and hateful after his Friday tweet against Anderson.

The scariest thing for #liberals when they have a hissy fit is that moment when nobody cares. For the record I couldn’t care less…
