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”:

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.

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

It’s real, and it’s spectacular.
Kamala Harris’ comment was absurd and your reply was appropriate.
This isn’t China.
