CNN host Anderson Cooper experienced an abrupt reversal on Twitter Monday after responding to a post from Clickhole, the satirical outlet that aims to skewer viral news websites.
Ummm… @Clickhole, do u make this stuff up? I never said this quote and never spoke to the NYU class of 2015. https://t.co/oRSDgpQXxx

Cooper was responding to a post from Clickhole quoting him alongside two other celebrities giving nonsensical advice in fictitious commencement speeches. Shortly afterwards, he appears to have realized that Clickhole did, in fact, concoct the quote.
Probably should have looked at what @Clickhole is. Wah, wah.
