Thursday night, CNN held a town hall on LGBTQ issues featuring nine of the Democrats competing for that party’s 2020 nomination:

During Kamala Harris’ turn, Chris Cuomo said this after Harris offered her “pronouns” are “she, her and hers.” Cuomo immediately said “mine too”:

Kamala Harris: "My pronouns are she, her & hers."

Fredo: "Mine too."pic.twitter.com/E5uymlw3St — TheRightWingM ?? (@TheRightWingM) October 11, 2019

The blowback must have been swift and massive because Cuomo was soon apologizing profusely:

PLEASE READ: When Sen. Harris said her pronouns were she her and her's, I said mine too. I should not have. I apologize. I am an ally of the LGBTQ community, and I am sorry because I am committed to helping us achieve equality. Thank you for watching our townhall. — Christopher C. Cuomo (@ChrisCuomo) October 11, 2019

A progressive can’t even be an ally to other progressives without getting himself into big trouble.

Oh, Fredo.

You're right, you should have said your pronoun was Fredo https://t.co/T6qR2GdQYa — Kaitlin Bennett (@KaitMarieox) October 11, 2019

It’s real, and it’s spectacular.

Kamala Harris’ comment was absurd and your reply was appropriate. This isn’t China. Yet.https://t.co/Eu22KfFndX — Boomieleaks (@notwokieleaks) October 11, 2019

Well, if the NBA has its way, ya never know.
