CNN anchor Chris Cuomo cracked a tone-deaf joke at the network’s LGBTQ town hall debate Thursday night — sparking uproar on social media and prompting the anchor to issue an apology.
Cuomo was welcoming Sen. Kamala Harris onstage in Los Angeles when the 2020 Democratic candidate told him, “My pronouns are she, her, and hers.”
“She, her and hers? Mine too,” Cuomo replied with a smile, eliciting audible groans from the audience.
“All right,” Harris finally replied, ending an awkward silence.
Cuomo was quickly roasted on social media over the gaffe.
“Dear @ChrisCuomo, people’s pronouns are not a punchline,” the National Center for Lesbian Rights tweeted.
“In a year where LGBTQ Americans are finally being recognized on the national Presidential stage, making jokes about gender pronouns is beneath your dignity. Please do better in the future.”
Josh Stickney, a spokesman for Equality California and Silver State Equality in Nevada, expressed his “incredible disappointment.”

He failed. Maybe next time Matt Lauer can attend instead.
He’ll be forgiven, of course.
Remember, were it not for double standards, progressives would have no standards at all.
Fredo.
Dear Chris, this country has gone insane. Get with the program.
Oh, more of “I can be as racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, Islamophobic, or wear blackface because I’m liberal””.
Lefties have no sense of humor
Yep, I wondered why he wasn’t summarily fired for that? Given the Roseanne Barr treatment? His crime against humanity was offending the “LGBT” peoples, who are now apparently our masters. Crimes against politically correct peoples are punishable by the “death penalty”, symbolically speaking, by being driven out of public life. So why is he still there?
Fredo should be slammed, regularly. Just because.
Fredo. Weak and Stupid.
Or Frida?
My pronouns are I, me and mine.
This pronoun thing takes dumb to a level not seen since the stone ages.
“eliciting audible groans from the audience.“
He used the word “she”. These people are insane.
Fredo defending himself.
Yes this pronoun business is absurd, but, the liberals take this %&&^ very very seriously.
I have no idea what this issue is about? Guess I’m too old. Oh well.
I identify as Transmodern and my pronouns are shem, herm and herzim.
That may have been the one time I approved of him. This gender pronoun nonsense is just that.
