The Twitterverse on Wednesday morning was handing Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine a steady stream of mockery for saying in Tuesday night’s debate that he wanted to be Hillary Clinton’s “right-hand person.”
“[M]y primary role is to be Hillary Clinton’s right-hand person and strong supporter as she puts together the most historic administration possible,” he said.
Many on Twitter were left wondering if political correctness had gone so far that it was no longer acceptable for Kaine to acknowledge in public that he is a man.
#VPDebate is what it looks like when a conservative debates with a liberal progressive. Pence calmly destroyed Hillary’s right hand “person”

Some, however, seemed thrilled with Kaine’s use of gender-neutral language to describe himself:
Tim Kaine referred to himself as Hillary’s “right hand person” and my little feminist heart is exploding with joy! #VPDebate
