Watch: Anderson Cooper Gets Woman’s Pronouns ‘Wrong,’ Pays the Price on Live TV
During a recent town hall event hosted by CNN’s Anderson Cooper with Senator Bernie Sanders, a notable incident occurred when Cooper misgendered an audience member, civil rights attorney Grace Thomas, assuming her gender based on her appearance. When Cooper addressed her as “she,” Thomas corrected him by stating her preferred pronouns were “they/them.” This public correction caused a stir, with Cooper audibly surprised and apologetic.
The incident sparked reactions across social media, with many conservatives mockingly demanding that cooper be punished for the misstep, labeling it a serious offense within progressive circles. The exchange highlighted broader cultural tensions,with critics arguing that the left’s focus on issues of gender identity distracts from more pressing societal concerns,such as economic challenges and crime. The event serves as a microcosm of current debates around gender and identity politics, illustrating the polarized views on these topics within the American political landscape.
CNN host Anderson Cooper was hoisted by his own left-wing petard after being schooled by an audience member for misgendering her.
The farcical irony unfolded Tuesday night during a town hall Cooper hosted with Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont.
At one point, Cooper called on a woman in the audience and got scolded on live TV for assuming the lady was female.
“I want to introduce Grace Thomas,” Cooper said. “She’s a local civil rights attorney. She’s a Democrat, right?”
An annoyed Thomas shot back: “It’s ‘they/them’ pronouns, actually. Thank you.”
An apologetic Cooper stammered in shock, “Oh.”

This ridiculous exchange perfectly encapsulates the left’s frivolous obsession with triviality, as the nation teeters on the brink of recession amid mass invasions by unvetted armies of illegal aliens.
Meanwhile, conservatives sarcastically imitated clownish Democrats by demanding that Cooper be punished for committing the left-wing mortal sin of “misgendering.”
“Anderson Cooper just misgendered a civil rights attorney during a town hall with Bernie Sanders!” one X user wrote. “CNN needs to fire AC immediately.
“His insensitivity and transphobia cannot be tolerated!”

Another X user wrote, “Anderson Cooper clearly must be cancelled and fired from CNN. We have no choice in the matter, our hands have been forced.”
Anderson Cooper clearly must be cancelled and fired from CNN.
We have no choice in the matter, our hands have been forced.

Others mocked the left’s pathological obsession with inconsequential minutiae.
I can’t with these people.
It’s a SHE, it’s a bloody WOMAN.
Not they/them, it’s a WOMAN

This incident spotlights the absurdity of the LGBT mafia, which the craven left has emboldened with its sycophantic lionization.
Insidious LGBT agitators have enabled the following horrifying trends:
- “Transgenderism” is promoted as a viable lifestyle choice for children;
- “Drag queen story hours” are celebrated at preschools;
- Men are allowed to dominate women’s sports.
The insidious creep of the radical LGBT agenda starts with something seemingly benign such as “misgendering,” and culminates in the subversive normalization of children undergoing sex-change surgeries and men bogarting women’s sports.
To be fair, Anderson Cooper and CNN are not solely responsible for this tragic devolution of American culture, but they have contributed tremendously to it.
As such, these left-wing foghorns must be held accountable whenever they break one of their side’s inane “rules,” such as misgendering.
While the left wastes time on trivialities, the right must remain focused on eradicating mass illegal immigration, bolstering public safety by restoring law and order, and strengthening the economy.
